Rated T
Dan Slott's Spider-Man run hit a slump with The Clone Conspiracy, but Amazing Spider-Man is quickly bouncing back in its aftermath. This issue delivers a fun, visually dynamic superhero romp that also asks some difficult questions about where Peter Parker's responsibilities truly lie these days. Peter himself, not Norman Osborn, may well be the real antagonist of this arc. Read Full Review
With great art, snappy writing a few good twists and just a really fun story, Slott keeps Amazing Spider-Man rolling along just fine. Read Full Review
ASM #26 certainly presents a new take on the legendary villain (you could even say Osborn is acting more like a Justin Hammer-esque corporate Iron Man villain), but like most of this issue, the otherwise discordant thematic pieces seem to fall into place when it comes to this this current storyline because there's still ample familiarity and fun to be found between Slott's snappy writing and Immonen's stunning artwork.

Amazing Spider-Man #26 for the most part was an improvement over the opening chapter of "The Osborn Identity." While the Doc Ock scenes were unnecessary, everything else about how Dan Slott developed the latest battle between Spider-Man and Green Goblin provided the excitement this story needed. The ending especially provides multiple possibilities for how this arc will end. All of those possibilities do not look like it will be good for Spider-Man, at least for now. Read Full Review
My interesthas been luke-warm so far with at the start of this latest Goblin arc, inthe pages of the Amazing Spider-Man by Dan Slott, mostly because its been heavy on action, fuzzy on character motivations for its stars, and very light on providing important information needed. Although the art is the highlight of the issue,I'm finding the pages colored way too dark lately for my liking, sinceClone Conspiracy, and hope the second half of this story returns this book to alighter color palate and tone overall.

Lots of great action, but a weak and nonsensical narrative undermine what should have been a thrilling issue Read Full Review
Issue 26 of Amazing Spider-Man was even better than 25 and Stuart Immonen's art here is gorgeous. Dan clearly wrote this story with Stuart's art style in mind and he is fastly becoming one of my favorite Spidey artists since Mark Bagley.
The chase scene was one of the coolest I've seen in a comic period. It feels like The Osborn Identity is the culmination of several storyline threads Dan has been weaving since the beginning of Worldwide and if they keep up this pace, this is bound to become one of the best Spidey arcs of the recent years.
Really happy to see Slott bouncing back and raising the stakes after getting kinda underwhelmed with The Clone Conspiracy. I honestly don't think I've enjoyed a Spidey comic this m more
Art is fantastic. Story has been cool and very action packed. Hopefully this can end well since TCC fell short of that.
It's a holiday today and I 'll be generous but there were a lot of organic logic flaws that had to be No-Prized while reading and really better be explained properly in-story ASAP. That being said, this had some fun moments, exciting pacing, and character advancements.
Great follow up and this run is looking good. Story and art compliment each other.
Overall a pretty good issue. The story while a bit thin and pretty straightforward was engaging enough and has my interest. The action sequences and art are the stars of this issue though. Both give this story a sense of excitement and the art is simply gorgeous! Hope things continue to build in #27!
the art was GREAT and the story wasn't bad. not great, but far better than the clone consipiracy crap we've had lately...
Spidey and Silver Sable are going after Osborn and they don't care that the bad publicity is crippling PI and making them into enemies of SHIELD. Some splashy fighting accompanies the assembly of this arc's core conflict in the spirit of Star Wars Episode II: sound and fury distracting you from the simplicity of the narrative. It's entertaining and Stuart Immonen's visuals are delicious, but there's a frustrating shallowness to the whole exercise. This issue is a complex double-pass fake-out play that ends up moving the ball about three yards down the field.
