Superior Spider-Talk - Mark Ginocchio
Jun 07, 2017Amazing Spider-Man #28 concludes one of the most personal and heated Spider-Man/Norman Osborn encounters in years and sets the stage for even bigger confrontations in the future. Meanwhile, Stuart Immonen demonstrates, yet again, how an all-star artist can elevate an already great story to even greater heights. Read Full Review

Comic Crusaders - Andy Hall
Jun 09, 2017This has been a quick and fun story arc that Slott and Immonen have put together. It doesn't have the operatic complexities of Slott's Clone Conspiracy story, but by focusing on the anger Peter Parker and Norman Osbourne have for each other, the rest of the battle just become a proxy for their ideals which are quickly lost in their own fight. The first issue of the arc was a little shaky for me, but the end is well worth it. Go back and read all four together. Read Full Review

Jun 12, 2017Spider-Manwraps up the latest Norman Osborne storyline in exciting fashion and provided ussome of Dan Slot's most exciting and well-paced story in a while. The new artteam officially gets me onboard this issue with some creative paneling andsharp artistic choices. Read Full Review

Jun 08, 2017Dan Slott can sometimes be too preoccupied with setting the stage for future conflicts at the end of current ones, and that approach gives this battle a slightly anticlimactic feel in the end. Read Full Review

Jun 10, 2017The latest Spider-Man story wraps up in enjoyable, bombastic fashion, but reading this issue made me realize I'm ready for a new type of Spider-Man story. Read Full Review

Comic Book Revolution - Kevin Lainez
Jun 10, 2017With Amazing Spider-Man #28, Dan Slott delivered an ending that made previous issues of "The Osborn Identity" even better. The various character moments for Spider-Man, Silver Sable and Norman Osborn made the ending feel satisfying. Now with where Slott leaves things, the door is open for several bigger plotlines to be followed up on after Secret Empire. Read Full Review

Start Immonen has been getting better and over the past few years. I would have given it a ten but Osborne's running was weak.

"Amazing Spider-Man" #28 is a great comic book. The climax of Peter and Norman's struggle was so well executed; it took me back to reading so many of their classic battles of the past. Stuart Immonen continues to kill it on art, as the battle between Spidey and Norman is a tour de force. And, it's neat when the editorial notes call back to Amazing #96. I really felt the history here without this seeming like a retread of what has gone before. That's tough with two characters who share the past they do.

I thought this was a very enjoyable way to wrap things up. Okay, Aunt May's presence felt too contrived but other than that it deserves a good rating.

Fun, but a little weightless.

Nice issue and great art but it isn't a proper conclusion. Slott is always setting up the next thing that it takes away from the now.

Good art and great banter between Osborn and Peter.

There are certain parts in this book that I liked and some I did not. I thought the last half, the fight between Norman and Spidey was absolutely awesome. The beginning to me just seemed kind of corny with the forced dialogue between Sable and Spidey. The art is top notch. It's not even the type of art I prefer, but there is no denying how great the faces, the action and tones of the panels are. The ending does leave a big cloud surrounding the return of a certain character. I am excited to see where this goes.

Immonen's art really worked here and I finally understand the praise for him. The issue itself was alright as well, nothing groundbreaking, just some nice action scenes between Spidey and Osborn. The outcome was quite a letdown, but it's not like this wasn't expected from Dan Slott.

Much like the rest of the this arc of ASM this issue was good nothing groundbreaking or even new. Just a straight forward simple Spider-Man stops bad guy story we've seen 100s of times. The art though is simply gorgeous in this issue! Overall an enjoyable easy reading arc that concludes nicely in this issue! Nothing more nothing less.

That final battle between Osborn and Peter was great.

Osborn engineers a half-brilliant no-powers boxing match with Spidey, but a freedom-enhanced Symkaria is the only big winner at the end of the day. For all the brilliance of the Spidey-Osborn showdown (and to reiterate, it's not that brilliant), the rest of this conflict plays out like a particularly uncreative Bond film. Mockingbird gets sidetracked with a Designated Science Hero mission and Silver Sable gets tied up in a Designated Girl Fight that truly has no place in a 21st-century comic. Wrap it all up with Nick Fury Jr. reading Pete the riot act with a ridiculously cliché "turn in your badge, you loose cannon!" vibe. Stuart Immonen makes it look very nice, but underneath the flashy visuals you've got a few feeble novelties awash in a more
