A very well crafted and plotted second part of a story that weaves in three different timelines very well. By the end you get a little of everything when it comes to Spidey. Read Full Review
This comic is definitely worth buying. You're gonna get your money's worth of thrills, drama, action, and fun. It also adds an extra bonus if you're following the Absolute Carnage storyline. Read Full Review

The Amazing Spider-Man #31 is technically an Absolute Carnage tie-in, but it's not Carnage who steals the show here. Read Full Review
Nick Spencer and Ryan Ottley wrap up a fun tie-in to Absolute Carnage by effortlessly weaving together Peter's past, present, and ever-looming future. A compelling story and dynamic art make for another great issue of this Spider-Man run. Read Full Review
The juxtaposition of the past and present elevates Spencer's exploration of Spider-Man's thought process and reminds the reader how deeply personal Spidey's rivalry with Norman Osborn is. Read Full Review
Amazing Spider-Man #31 succeeds as it delivers on classic Spidey angst that will hopefully lead to a strong Kindred identity reveal sooner than later. Read Full Review
You don't have to have any interest in the current happenings over at Donny Cates Venom and Absolute Carnage books, and I still highly recommend you pick up Nick Spencer's Amazing Spider-Man #30 and #31. Read Full Review
Amazing Spider-Man #31 continues to make one of Marvel's biggest heroes shine in his flagship series. Read Full Review
Amazing Spider-Man #31 may very well go down as the most important issue in Nick Spencer's. This issue turned the story around Kindred's into one of the most intriguing plotlines that Spider-Man fans will want to see develop even more. The stunning artwork from Ryan Ottley further elevates the importance of the story that Spencer ends up telling throughout Amazing Spider-Man #31. Read Full Review
Best issue of the series
I was waiting for this moment too long... I'm impressed
Nick Spencer really knows how to make a tie-in worth reading. Not much is developed on the Absolute Carnage front, but that's fine because that's not what is important to this series. What is important is how these events relate to Peter and his ongoing problems. We just got an issue where he's upset that he keeps failing people, followed by these two issues where he struggles so, so hard not to have a repeat of some of the worst times in his life, that he always blames himself for. That's powerful, I think. Oh, and by the end of this issue, the dialogue is practically screaming who Kindred is but why would they keep up the mystery if it's so clearly who it is? Unless... It's not who they try to make it out to be. That dialogue screams X, wmore
fantastic writing and awesome art there isn't much not to love
These past three issues have really gotten me back on board with this series, and surprisingly enough two of them were tie-ins which I usually hate. The thing that makes them good though is the fact they stand alone and continue the ongoing story rather than the tie-in's story. The mystery continues with Kindred, who seems pretty much confirmed by now (unless its a huge misdirection, which Spencer has done before). Art is also great, but I'm getting very excited for Patrick Gleason to come on board next issue
Prelude:
Last issue was a strong start for the Absolute Carnage tie-in so let's see how this second and final part goes.
The Good:
It's an exploration of Norman Osborn and man is it great. That's where the rating comes from.
Art was also great. Love Ottley's work.
Peter was amazing as well in this issue.
The Bad:
Doesn't move much of Absolute Carnage forward but I'm fine with that.
Conclusion:
There isn't much to say since it can be summed up pretty easily but this tie-in, while moving very little was great to explore Norman Osborn and set up for future Amazing Spider-Man stories.
I love seeing Spidey kick ass when things are tough for him.
Spidey guts up and defeats Carnage-Norman. Like the previous issue, the fight is tied to an earlier conversation with Kindred and Norman, with this one's focus swinging hard to the villains at the end. It's a pretty solid execution of good ideas, though the fight visuals could be stronger and Spidey's story is left dangling.
Really good tie-in to the Absolute Carnage event, without requiring to much knowledge of what's happening there. Loving how Norman Osborn was portrayed here, really shows why he's Spidey's archnemesis. Loved seeing Ottley's art again, and I am very excited to have Gleason on board starting next issue. It's exciting times to be a Spidey fan.
That bug in the ear thing was 2 gross 4 me.
Spencer has been a roll recently and this issue is keeping it going. Cant wait to see what happens with Kindred. Looking forward to 2099

A rock-solid issue that's very well drawn and provides just enough to sate my intrigue for the time being. It also accomplished all this while being a tie-in: something I am generally quite cynical about! Looking forward to the next issue.
A solid issue
Just a wasted issue. Dialogue was eh okay but story was awful. Art couldn’t save that a story even if it was good
