Kev Walker's art perfectly complements the tone and pace of this story. The panels are full of great details and the characters are drawn beautifully. Read Full Review
The latest villain-focused chapter of Amazing Spider-Man recaptures the charm of Superior Foes of Spider-Man. Read Full Review
The Spider-Man comics really have a unique feeling, fortunately Nick Spencer and Kev Walker continue to provide us with an excellent story that makes reading this new Friendly Neighborhood adventure very entertaining, which is highly recommended. Read Full Review
Plenty of charm and attitude with this great cast of characters. Boomerang is being cemented as an all-time great Spidey character. Read Full Review
The Six, of course, play the aggrieved women. They recall experiences of being underestimated and overlooked for job prospects. Boomerang plays the "Bro" well. He even mansplains mid-fight after the six make it clear that it his toxic masculinity is a big reason he's being hunted. Spider-Man fills the role of an "Ally". He does his best to seems to breath in facts and breaths out inclusivity. The result is a cringeworthy word salad that left me cringing. All in all, Spencer and Walker have found some great voices and faces. Read Full Review
An improvement over last issue, although Spencer just can't seem to help himself but to give the spotlight to his toys, as this arc still feels like its being carried by Boomerang and the Syndicate (effectively the “new” Superior Foes). But Spider-Man isn't side-lined for most of this issue, and actually gets to be involved in his own book, thankfully, making up for the previous installment. A fun little issue, but Boomerang upstaging Spider-Man in his own book as of late might be off-putting to some. Read Full Review
"Fun" is the word in "Who Run the World?." Nick Spencer is in his comfort zone, and it's nice to have a Spider-Man story in this book that isn't leaden with melodrama and the knee-jerk need to leave two-dozen dangling plot threads. Focus is the order of the day and if Spencer's run keeps this pace, he has a shot at redeeming it after several recent missteps. Read Full Review
This is a fun issue of Amazing Spider-Man, especially if you’ve been relishing in the absurdity of Spider-Man paling around with Boomerang. It delivers on that end, even if the art leaves a little to be desired. It’s one of the more unremarkable issues of Spencer’s run so far, but fans should still pick it up and expect a good time overall. Read Full Review
Amazing Spider-Man #27 is a comic that was headed to being a standout in Nick Spencer's run. The Spider-Man and Boomerang vs Sinister Syndicate worked to make all the players involved look good. Unfortunately decisions on the portrayal of certain characters and an unnecessary ending kept Amazing Spider-Man #27 from living up to its full potential. Read Full Review
The spark of Superior Foes of Spider-Man is alive in Amazing #27. Not only is this incarnation of Boomerang recognizable, the non-stop banter and tonal fluctuations of his past series are on full display. Read Full Review
This is tons of fun!
I just find all of these characters so fun.
Well, I love D-list villains.
Another enjoyable issue. I hope it continues.
Boomerang is being written like it is still 2015 and at the peak of Spencer's game, so that is fun. Kev Walker killed it with his shit-eating grin.
While it is entertaining and really fun I just dont get why this came after such a build for Kindred. I also don't buy for one second that a group of villians wouldnt kill Spidey if given a clear shot.
"Wait--syndicate ? as in-- the sinister syndicate ? That's my name-- I came up with that !"
Too many superior foes, not enough Spidey. It's clear that Nick Spencer likes to write D-list villains, but this schtick has gotten old.
We get it, Nick. You're woke. Congrats.
Art was solid.
