Really fun start to this new Spider-man series, glad to be reading it and looking forward to more, if nothing else than to figure out what the heck that b story from the first issue was about because that was insane! Eagerly awaiting next issue! Read Full Review

The Amazing Spider-Man #3 continues to be a fun and classic feeling Spidey story, but I'm a little bit hesitant to see what this Spider-Man is going to do next! It seems as though in the split he lost his sense of responsibility, and I really can't see this going well. How does the classic Spidey phrase go again? Anyway, I'm genuinely intrigued to see where Spencer takes this and am so enjoying the ride! Read Full Review

Amazing Spider-Man #3 continued the strong start Nick Spencer is having for his run on this series. Spencer took the time to deliver a character driven story with Peter Parker at the center. Adding in some Spider-Man action sequences, which were wonderfully drawn by Ryan Ottley, helped keep the story moving forward. If it weren't for a few problems with certain story beats Amazing Spider-Man #3 would've been close to perfect. Read Full Review

Some of the best Spider-Man comics ever invite the reader to shout, "Peter Parker, you idiot!" more than once. ASM #3 joins their hallowed ranks. Its slow pace does flirt with frustration, but considerable creative effort ensures that this issue is neither a detour nor a disappointment. It has a subtle gut-punch of its own, and the pinnacle it's building toward shows every sign of greatness. Read Full Review

Amazing Spider-Man #3 feels like a Saturday morning cartoon, it's light hearted and being a fan of the 90's Spider-Man, it works, but it's not anything amazing but an enjoyable read. Read Full Review

Excellent art and a weirdly neat maguffin make for a Spider-Man tale we haven't seen before, albeit one that feels somewhat brief. Read Full Review

Nick Spencer appears to be writing a Spider-Man 'for the children', as the topics and answers given here, veer close to becoming what's found on the Disney XD channel each week. There was a cool appearance by a classic Spidey villain which is overshadowed by the what feels like a completely childish story other wise and just isnt hitting the notes for me right now.  The art is this books saving grace at this point in time, but some transition issues from last issue, leave a few of our answers this issue feel unearned.

The opening storyline gets weirder, and the writing takes a few unnecessary shortcuts to try and make that weirdness work. Read Full Review

After three issues, there are fewer reasons than ever to hope this series will improve and it may soon be time for even diehard fans of the webhead to jump ship. Read Full Review

Peter Parker tells the story of how he stopped being Spider-Man. That statement gets more and more terrifying the more we learn about it. In the art and especially the writing, this issue has a marvelous and rare problem: It's done SO well that it gives a deceptive feeling of simplicity. In the same way that highly-trained athletes don't seem to sweat, the creators worked so hard to make this issue smooth and rational that it's easy to overlook their efforts.

So the separation part happened as expected. What followed after with the side effect I didn't. Well played!

I enjoyed this from beginning to end.

Well that was played very well, I bet most did not expect that. So far this volume has been very good, and it did not even had a chance to have any big moments yet.

I actually really enjoyed this book and while I get some of the gripes, I feel like people just think too hard when reading comics. It's meant to be fun and enjoyed and that's exactly what we've been getting with this new series. The concept is great and was really well done. This Spidey volume is already moving to the top of my list. My only thing is the art. Not my style.

This was my first time reading a Spider-man comic and I really enjoyed it. It was a fun issue with a nice twist in the middle that will probably cause some serious issues in the future.

The only downside was the first page in the comic. The panels seemed out of place and didn't have a connection with the current story line. I don't know if it was addressed in the prior issue but it just felt weird in this issue.

The artwork matched the tone of the comic, bright and bold. I absolutely loved how Peter and MJ looked. Everything had a real fresh vibe to it.

I will definitely continue following this story. The plot twist is intriguing and I can see it causing Peter a lot of trouble in the near future.

This one didn't get me as much as the first two issues, but it was still a lot of fun. It's kind of heavy on exposition, but Ryan Ottley makes it interesting regardless. The idea of a separate Peter Parker and Spider-Man isn't exactly original (Is that other Clark Kent still running around in Superman comics?), it's done in an interesting way. I just hope that this is a story that wraps up in another few issues, and we don't have to live with the split. But, I am really liking this new Spidey relaunch. Also, the Steve Ditko tribute at the beginning was very well done, a great testament to the man who co-created my favourite comic character of all time, my man Spidey. Love you Ditko!

Just OK.

I ended up predicting this as a joke. .-. Not sure how to feel, it was very strange.

While the idea of splitting Spider-Man's power from his responsibility may be an interesting idea, I can't say I am too fond of it's execution in this issue. I'm looking forward to seeing how it's resolved, if it is handled well I think I will enjoy this issue more in the future. I liked that Norah Winters made a return, she was a great addition to Peter's supporting cast during Brand New Day.

The third issue of Nick Spencer's new Spider-Man series is proving the series to be a fun follow up to Dan Slott's run. Although the explanation for it is just out-of-the-blue and dumb, the Peter Parker/Spider-Man concept is well executed. The writing appropriately focuses on Peter Parker and the writing for his character in this situation is totally believable and well-done. Spencer nails the humor in this issue once again, and I really appreciate the fun he puts into this issue and Peter Parker's character. He doesn't really work the same magic for the supporting cast however, which is fine, only a slight let down. As far as the plot goes, not too much happens story-wise and the end is a bit abrupt, so I'm going to have to take a few points off for that, unfortunately. The art is pretty good. Nowhere near as good as Stuart Immonen or Giuseppe Camuncoli, mind you, but pretty good. All in all, this was a fun but flawed issue. more

Lame. Get rid of Captain Boomarang.
