I think this was the funniest issue of Amazing Spider-Man I've read in a while! Slott was totally on his game, delving into the newly technological and international world of Spider-Man, and with a confident and excited Peter Parker. It helps that Spidey now has a best pal in the form of Prowler, and the two of them make for a great set of good guys. Read Full Review

So if you are not a Spider-Man obsessed goomba who considers the Clone Saga a misunderstood work of genius and you can accept that despite the core premise being the original Iron Man but DISTINCTIVELY Spider-Man, you'll really enjoy this. Read Full Review

I'm really enjoying the new tone and direction of the Spider-Man universe, and though I'd never call this issue bold or ground-breaking, it does succeed in being hugely entertaining and satisfying. Read Full Review

The art is solid and appropriately adventure-y, except for a few missteps when it shifts gears to flash back with mixed results, but overall, seeing Spider-Man and the Prowler in action feels both fresh and classic at the same time, thanks to the Zodiac's interpretation as a sprawling evil spy-like organization. As with the first issue, it's still in the mode of establishing a new status quo, so there's a lot that feels like "a Spider-Man story" but it's all on a different level. For now, it remains fun, humor-filled, and intriguing, although I'll admit to still wondering if there's some missing ingredient of "hard luck" to really be Spider-Man in the long run.

"Amazing Spider-Man" #2 is a real pleasure, one that can have a character concerned for his own well-being while making sure that unconscious bad guys get rescued from a base that's going to be destroyed. Slott has been writing "Amazing Spider-Man" for a while now, and this issue is a reminder not to take his presence here for granted. "Amazing Spider-Man" #2 is a strong issue that's a good jumping on point for those who have been holding back. Read Full Review

Amazing Spider-Man (vol. 4) #2 continues to be an entertaining, if not vexing read for Spider-Man fans. There's so much that feels unfamiliar and foreign about its premise and themes, but it is undeniably fun and entertaining with a strong art team to back it up. Read Full Review

While Slott spends a little too much time characterizing the Zodiac members, Amazing Spider-Man #2 is another fun entry into the web-slinger's new journey. Read Full Review

So far this title is shaping up to be a great "buddy cop" book as the dialogue between Peter and Hobie throughout the issue easily stands out. Hobie even plays the straight man to Peter's smart-alec leader, making it difficult not to hear Riggs & Murtaugh bantering back and forth. Slott even incorporates some of Spidey's history here as ties to his "Ends of the Earth" arc and "The Gauntlet" run from the late 2000s show up here. No matter how big Pete get's, the pure hearted sense of morality stays the same. Read Full Review

To grow is to change and Amazing Spider-Man #2 is changing beyond just a mere superhero yarn. As Peter's influence grows, as does his responsibility, and we all know how Peter Parker feels about responsibility. While it is fun to have Peter back in the suit full-time and juggling a life as a CEO and superhero, it is even better to see Dan Slott not keeping his characterization static and using the stories that came before this new series as bedrock for Peter's new adventures. Nothing is more frustrating as a reader to find that arcs that were important at the time now don't matter now that a newer, shinier story is being publishes. Thankfully, Amazing Spider-Man #2 side-steps all that and makes the Slott era feel more connected than ever. Read Full Review

All in all, AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #2 is a far less impressive effort from a plot standpoint, and although it's nice to see the ol' Webhead in some new locales and different environments, the emphasis on his new technology is wearing a bit thin. Luckily the art team hasn't faltered at all from last issue to this one and remains a highlight of this young series. Hopefully within the next couple of issues Slott will ditch the lame villains and get to a plot with some substance. Read Full Review

Highly entertaining! Fun and funny!

Great fun, exciting, hilarious and whip smart. I love this new direction for Spidey.

What a fun issue! Unlike #1, I was prepared for the humor and the somewhat campy feel this time around, which made this second issue much more enjoyable. The dialogue shines! Even the lowliest of henchmen have character.

Now this is what I'm talking about! Issue #2 features a very classic-style story with Spider-Man teaming up with Prowler and defeating evil organizations in underwater secret bases. This is what superhero comics once looked like, and Dan Slott is an author who's always been very devoted to bring back long forgotten plot points and writing devices. Sure, there are a lot of comics that try to do so, but not everyone is able to make it feel classic yet fresh and totally funny at the same time. The art (and especially those watery colors!) by Camuncoli and Gracia was top-notch, although his Peter looks like he's still possessed by Octopus with his cold expressions. I didn't really love that cliffhanger, for it felt so standard I lost the count of times a mysterious, elegant baddie finds an old foe of the hero and promises him anything in exchange of his help...
Not counting that last part, really amazing job. more

I must say that its a little different to see Spider-Man using all this fancy tech and Peter Parker being a Tony Stark like character is very unfamiliar to me but teaming Spider-Man up with Prowler is interesting. Their dialogue is probably the best part about this book.

Good comic.

Slightly better than the first issue, but I'm already bored with the Zodiac. Slott has written some good spidey stories, so I'll hold on for the ride. Read Spiderman 2099!

This is not a good direction for the Amazing Spider-Man

Surprised by all of these stellar reviews. This was an incredibly bland comic. Slott's Spider-Man has been bland ever since the previous re-launch.
