• You know what's annoying? Having to save J. Jonah Jameson's life.
• Sure, he's been on Spidey's side for a little while, but that's after YEARS of him making Spider-Man's life a living heck.
• I feel like this amount of responsibility should come with even more power.
• Anyway, who, other than most of New York, would want to punish J. Jonah Jameson?
Rated T
Ryan Ottleys art is fluid, exciting and fun. There was dynamic movement on every page and it really complemented the pace of the story Spencer is telling. Read Full Review
Simply put, Spencer & Ottley's run is memorable and iconic. Each issue is an intoxicating blast. Read Full Review
Amazing Spider-Man #13 doubles down on two of the strengths of this run: deep and serious dives into Spider-Mans long continuity, and finales that deal more with emotional honesty and growth than they do with punching and kicking. This time its J. Jonah Jamesons turn to be a better man, and the result is a thoroughly enjoyable Spider-Man comic. Read Full Review
Amazing Spider-Man 13 is a satisfying end to this story arc. Fans of J. Jonah Jameson will love how much he's grown as a person on this run. Nick Spencer has done a great job of making every character matter. The art should give off some wonderful eye candy and visuals for those who love the medium. Amazing Spider-Man is the spider book we need Read Full Review
Amazing Spider-Man #13 puts a cap on another very strong arc, though it's not the best we've seen from this team. It has that patented Nick Spencer humor, paired with some wonderful art by Ottley that makes the book sing. The two work together brilliantly, but the plot feels somewhat forced. Despite that, strong characterizations and storytelling still hold the book to a level that is more than worth your time. Read Full Review
The characters and art are messy, but it's hard to hate on the issue's lilting sense of pathos and humor. Read Full Review
Hopefully, this arc gets some addition payoff soon. Read Full Review
Though technically a solid ending that manages to tie up all of this story's loose ends, the uneven nature of its storytelling style makes it too clumsy to pull off everything it's trying to accomplish. There are strong character beats, but everything else falls flat. Read Full Review
Overall as a whole this Spider-Man run is becoming very predictable settling into a very common pattern each issue. This was a three issue arc that didn't move this series forward, did nothing but establish relationships we are already well aware of from other Spider-Man books, and to have the main creative art team return to the title for this feels like a waste for everyone involved. Nick Spencer has had some good issues thus far in his run of Spider-Man this one falls well short of that mark and feels more like filler than anything rewarding to experience. Read Full Review
A great conclusion that continues to allow Jonah to grow!
great conclusion to this arc nick spencer is doing a fantastic job writing spider-man
This was very nice and I liked it a lot. I love Jonie.
A very good conclusion to this mini-arc about Jonah. He finally gets past his ego and makes right at least some of the pain he's caused Spider-Man and others throughout the years. We get yet another heartfelt conversation between Spider-Man and another character that reaffirm their relationship and status quo for this series. First Boomerang, then Black Cat, now Jonah. We also get a cliffhanger that presumably has to do with Kraven, who's been a background player this entire time, so that's exciting.
Always entertaining and on point from Spencer. Ottley is doing an outstanding job here!
I was surprised how much I enjoyed this issue after finding the previous one rather messy. Maybe I'm just a sucker who really enjoys when characters take Spidey's words to heart.
Solid issue and an incredible character growth from JJJ.
A soli issue for Spencer and Ottley, that did a good job with JJJ and Peter relathionship.
Solid issue! Enjoy the dialogue and the art! Hopefully we get more characters around besides Jonah. Too much JJJ is bad for you. The cliffhanger, possible sinister six?...
An entertaining end to an entertaining arc. Nothing crazy but definitely a fun read. Still not a big fan of ottley art. I love the Jonah storyline so I'm a sucker for that. I just wish theyd get on to the thread with centipede villain already.
THE GOOD:
-Wow, Ryan Ottley's art is fantastic! I just loved it.
-The fight scenes were pretty fantastic this issue.
-Nick Spencer has done so much for JJJ in these last three issues. I absolutely loved his character and development in this issue.
-I have to admit, Spider-man chucking the giant Big Man mech out of the building was pretty awesome.
-I overall liked Spider-Man's speech to JJJ at the end. Not my favorite part, but still good.
-I thought the scene with JJJ and Fisk was great.
-I also liked JJJ at the radio station scene as well.
-Seeing Taskmaster and Black Ant again made this whole issue worth it.
-The end is very intriguin more
Spencer and Ottley are a talented team and perhaps that's why I am so disappointed with their current run. We have yet to see a truly epic Spidey battle and every villain (usually C or D list) is treated as a joke. Major plot threads are left dangling without much buildup and each issue spends too much time recapping what happened in previous issues. On the plus side, Ottley's artwork is solid and Spencer has a good command of character and dialogue. 13 issues is a long stretch to perform middling work, especially on Marvel's flagship character. Here's hoping this team kicks it into high gear soon.
