• Spider-Man 2099's present is our crumbling future.
• But what chance do we have relying only on Peter Parker, Miguel O'Hara and... Victor Von Doom?!
• That's right, Doctor Doom guest stars in the Mighty Marvel Manner, but what villain is so heinous that Doom and Spidey are on the same side?!
Rated T
While some of Spencer's plot seeding - including a device that can predict the future - drags the momentum a little bit, Gleason is such a revelation that he makes Amazing Spider-Man a must-buy. Read Full Review
Patrick Gleason's art is fantastic. There are a lot of great visual moments throughout the issue and the conclusion is filled with eye-popping action. Read Full Review
Like I stated above, I don't quite know how I feel about this issue. I liked it, but depending on what happens in 2099 Alpha and Amazing Spider-Man #35, I might love this issue. Read Full Review
Another home run issue that raises the stakes for your favorite wall crawler and opens the door for another visit to the 2099 universe. Read Full Review
Amazing Spider-Man #34 features exciting story beats, dynamic art and a reference to a beloved meme. Read Full Review
Nick Spencer's juggling act of storylines may promise to bring things together, eventually, but I'm starting to lose both patience and interest. If comic books could have ADD, this would be textbook. Read Full Review
Amazing Spider-Man #34 was nothing more than an advertising piece for the 2099 comic books Marvel is publishing. Nick Spencer did not sell fans on why they should stick around to read this story arc. All Spencer accomplished was confirming how you can skip this story arc and return for the next Amazing Spider-Man arc without missing anything. Read Full Review
Yep, still really into this.
This was pretty good, it just felt a little quick.
" Doom demands justice ! "

Much better than the first 2099 related outings. I'm still skipping the mini-event because it's not grabbing my attention at all mainly because we've seen this before and it's stretched too much. I get that Spencer is laying the ground work for some stuff later on but his structure did not work well in the last issue. There is enough here to keep me interested but my enjoyment comes from Gleason's art that brings the narrative to life.
Pete picks up the Clairvoyant, stumbles into the middle of Doom's assassination, and finally links up with Miguel to catch a heap of 2099 crisis exposition from him. I think the fast pace is suited to the simplicity of the plot points, so it rolls out nice and smooth if you don't think about anything too hard. I found the art solid, but not the GOAT performance some readers assume the instant they see Mr. Gleason's name. It meets (high) expectations for top-shelf art but doesn't distinguish itself further in my eyes.
The story is fine, I'm not too sure if I'm too keen on reading a story about Doom being Mr. Super Evil Guy again, but we'll see. Gleason's artwork is stunning as always.
Jittery pacing but an improvement on the previous issue.
Will never cease to be spellbound by Pat Gleason's art.
This was better than the last issue, but I'm still not really into it.
However, I have a feeling that it's going to get better. We'll see.
It's okay. Mostly setup and exposition for 2099.
The wheels have fallen off this series. Dropped.
