Iban Coello offers some beautiful and detailed visuals throughout this issue and there some great shots that catch the eye. Some of my favorite visual moments are the ones in the podcast booth with Spidey and Jonah sitting opposite each other and how the angles of the panels change and evolve as their conflict does the same.

Spider-Man and J. Jonah Jameson's new dynamic has been a big asset to both characters, especially for JJ, whenever its worked into a story, something I'd argue doesn't happen enough. Here, its been the crux of this arc so far and its proven to be the best parts of the story. This was quite an fun issue of ASM! Read Full Review

Another solid issue for Team Spidey. Read Full Review

ASM #39 adds a satisfying treat, in the form of a contentious Spidey/Jonah podcast, to a story arc that needs the boost. Some of this volume's finest stories have involved tying Jonah around the protagonist's neck in an endearing-infuriating way: endearing to us readers, infuriating to Spider-Man, and always funny. It's been done before, but it's done well again here, with a sharp script and hard-working visuals. This issue magics up compelling content out of sheer storytelling craft. Read Full Review

Amazing Spider-Man #39 is a comic book that checks off just about every box for a successful story. The one big box Nick Spencer misses checking was if the way J. Jonah Jameson and Spider-Man's podcast brokedown was an earned moment. The reality is that this podcast does not come across as something Spencer has properly built up for both characters during his run. Because of that Amazing Spider-Man #39 turns out to lean more into the disappointment category. Read Full Review

I loved it. I like what Spencer has done with Spideys and JJJ's relationship, how it evolves, without forgetting their history.

With great art and amazing writing, I cannot recomend it enough.

And that side-story... teases things to come.

" There's nobody writing mean things about you anymore. Heck, i'm all over the airwaves-- or the castways, or whatever these are-- signing your praises. All the other heores, they get parades. Statues. But you-- still nobody knows what to make of you. Heck the Kingpin was able to convince half of them you were his crony without one word from me. So tell me-- what's your big excuse now ?! "

I love Jonah so much.

Loved the interactions with Jonah and Spidey. I also really liked the back up story with Overdrive, surprisingly.

A solid issue that was a lot of fun to read. I always enjoy the new jonah and Spidey dynamic.

Spidey and Jonah hash out their latest tea on a podcast, and the Foreigner/Chance story makes a sharp left turn to link up with Spidey's plotline. It's written and drawn well, but I'm running out of enthusiasm for the "Ho ho ho, Jameson's help is worse than Jameson's antagonism" premise. It doesn't help that this issue's addition is over-recappy; it left me feeling shorted on content.
