I'm not even going to ask the hypothetical "Is it worth your money?" question that I always do. In every way, shape, and form this is a Marvel comic. I mean, it's a Marvel comic from back when Marvel comics used to be Marvel Comics. Read Full Review
Patrick Gleason's art is amazing. The tone of his art perfectly matches the more serious tone of this part of the story. Read Full Review
A fun, yet tedious set-up for the 2099 event that introduces some unique story elements, but leaves certain characters to the wayside Read Full Review
As he has done in the past several issues, Spencer's strength comes from his ability to juggle numerous characters, and plotlines, from Spidey's past and integrate them into a well oiled machine. Read Full Review
Though Amazing Spider-Man #33 isn't an explosive introduction to Marvel 2099, it still leaves the reader excited for the story's next steps. Read Full Review
The new era of 2099 gets off to a surprisingly plotty start in Amazing Spider-Man #33. Read Full Review
While Amazing Spider-Man #33 struggles to build interest for Spider-Man 2099's story Nick Spencer succeeds with building a good story around Peter Parker. Spencer layers Peter's character with multiple storylines that are going on in and out of his life as Spider-Man. The way Silver Sable, Teresa Parker and others play into the multiple stories Spencer is running all create greater intrigue in everything Peter has to deal with. Having Patrick Gleason along for the ride to handle the art duties helps in elevating the story with a consistent flow from panel to panel. Read Full Review
Final Thoughts: As I read this utterly completely confusing issue I actually got mad at myself because I'll never get that time back. The fantastic art is the only thing preventing me from giving this issue a negative score. If that's even possible. And to give ASM this low a score really makes me sad. It should be held to a much higher standard and treated as such by the creative team. Read Full Review
I just really love this run. I like the retconning of Silver Sable, because that was kind of bullshit. The plot is intriguing. Plus Doom. I'm so into this.
I wasn’t as excited about this as I expected to be.

More great art from Gleason and Matt Wilson.
Can Gleason draw this book forever? Better yet, can he draw every other books as well?
This issue is great. Art great. Writing great. Shocking love 2099. Only problem I have is the realization that poor Nick Spencer will never get to tell his Kindred story. First Absolute Carnage, now 2099 keep him from revealing this guy who’s been lurking for over 30 issues. At this point, umph the Kindred reveal might have had has fizzled out to a whimper. When we finally learn who Kindred is in issue #50, nobody will give a $&!£
It's OK. The art is not the problem here even as Gleason is testing out styles throughout the issue. Just the LMD bullet Head banger is worth the price of admission! But Spencer is cramming too much in an issue where Spidey 2099 does nothing. What's the point of leaving threads hanging and starting others and not answering anything about 2099?? Two issues in and nothing just so I go and buy the 2099 event books? NO! Silver Sable's story is OK but not enough to keep me paying attention. I'm always there for ASM but I can't wait for January when we go back to regular schedule.
Honestly, I didn't care about literally anything happening, but Gleason's art was incredible. Especially the page with Silver Sable's LMD getting its head blown off.
Has some good parts but just seems to be random. Peter felt like a costar in his own book. Im not sure how this whole silver sable thing is connected and im just not sure how any of this relates to 2099 so far. The art was really enjoyable.
Gleason's superb art is let down by an issue that is trying to set up a bit too much. Spencer has yet to convince me that all the threads he's trying to weave in are worth the effort. Hoping subsequent issues are more focused.
I'm pretty sure Mr. Spencer is soon going to stitch Miguel's story together with Pete's classmate's new future-predicting technology. And the Silver Sable plotline is, in theory, awesome. It would have been a killer as a miniseries, but instead it's here, dragging at least two issues of ASM dangerously close to trainwreck territory. The Latverian/Symkarian stuff should be left where it belongs (and where I suspect Mr. Spencer swiped it), in the Dr. Doom series.
I liked the ending, the art, and some moments through-out the issue, but the story is just not that interesting.
The constant interruption of events and crossovers is making this title incomprehensible.
I don't know, I find myself finding it harder to be interested in Spencer's Spider-Man anymore. Besides Gleason's excellent art, I've found this series bogged down by event after event (Hunted going into Absolute Carnage and now this) that I don't care about. Maybe all I cared about after all is the Kindred storyline and MJ but that continuously keeps being put on the back burner. It might be time for me to drop this book for the time being.
Feels like the book is totally different than what it used to be few issues ago. And not for the best. Spider-Man 2099 is just being wasted away and he is doing nothing to draw my interest into getting ready for his return. The art seems to be different throughout the issue.
