Rated T
Slott brings a lot of everyday life into the story that seems natural, and thus ends up making Spider-Man even more relatable to the reader. Read Full Review
Spider-Man and Mockingbird are delightful together as Slott beings exploring his latest new status quo for Spidey and Peter Parker. Read Full Review
The book continues to be both fun and interesting with some great banter between Bobbi and Peter and a sense that Peter's journey will continue to evolve. Read Full Review
While a few nagging flaws hold this issue back slightly (the flawed coloring, the generally rushed pacing), it does it part to flesh out Peter Parker's new status quo and reassure readers concerned about the character sliding back into old routines. The great dynamic between Peter and Bobbi and the always dependable artwork of Stuart Immonen help the whole package go down that much more smoothly. Read Full Review
Spider-Man is in a place thats hard for anyone to hate. Slott isnt relying heavily on gimmicks, which should please purists, but his personal life is as cutting edge as ever. From his costume to his villains, theres a certain iconic quality to Spider-Man that isnt likely to change, but Peter Parker is in constant flux. Its why hes the most relatable Marvel hero, and his current stories are an indication that isnt changing. Read Full Review
The fallout from Parker Industries has been everything it needed to be so far to turn the book around for people on both sides of the fence. Like Pete says at the end of the issue, this feels like home. Slott is delivering on both sides of the mask for our favorite wall crawler. Read Full Review
It's a nice done-in-one with great art, though it can feel like filler before the next crossover. Read Full Review
Amazing Spider-Man #791 is another tidy, well-executed story from Dan Slott and Stuart Immonen though elements of it were a little rushed and unfleshed. Still, big things seem to be on the horizon for Spider-Man, and it will be interesting to see where things go next. Read Full Review
If this was the Fall of Parker then I'm curious to see where he lands. Read Full Review
I am really enjoying the relationship between Peter and Bobbi. Its very cute. Hope this relationship lasts for a longer time unlike the previous ones.
"The Fall of Parker" ends on an upbeat note, as things actually seem to be going okay for Pete, despite circumstances. He and Bobby are a fun team (even if their banter was on the edge of being too much for me), and its nice to see Pete happy in a way he didn't seem to be in the weird Tony Stark/Parker era. Plus, Stuart Immonen is awesome, so this continues to be one of my favourite titles of late.
Fun!
More like the "Rise After the Fall of Parker." Peter has the girl, lands the job, saves a coworker, frees a slave, and makes the Bugle's deadline with no problem. Another step in the right direction for Peter. Hopefully nothing brings him down... Venom Inc.... *cough cough*...
Pete's first assignment as the Bugle's science editor *of course* turns into a mystery requiring Spidey/Mockingbird investigation. It's a satisfying (albeit silly) one-shot that has gratifying connections to several of the title's supporting cast members. Once again it feel likes Dan Slott is actually investing effort into the "Legacy" banner and making this feel like super-early Spidey - this script's tone matches the best of the Conway/Andru years. (Lee/Ditko? Hey, let's not push it.) Stuart Immonen's art is entertaining and not at all bad, but there are several missed opportunities that oh-so-slightly suggest he's delivering less than his best here. "Immonen on cruise control" is still a formidable visual performance.
Decent story and I am really enjoying where Peter Parker is right now as it feels much more like the real Spider-Man. Art was stunning as always, but the biggest drawback here is some of Mockingbird's dialogue. Careful reading that.
Another solid entry in the Amazing legacy arc. I was really disappointed about Peter losing his company, but hes back on the right track with at least somewhat of a new job for him. Great art from Immonen as always.
