Rated T
A really fun issue, and a great first chapter to this story. Automatically grabs the attention of the reader and allows them to be engulfed in the world of Spider-Man. Read Full Review
Ryan Ottleys art is fantastic. From the character expressions to the action, Ottley knows how to make these characters leap off the page and bring to life the energy and excitement of the story. Read Full Review
Filled with witty lines, this fast-paced story is as energetic as Peter Parker himself, and we're looking forward to reading its next release. Read Full Review
An enjoyable adventure featuring the web-head and Boomerang, but lacks any real depth and stakes. Read Full Review
Boomerang has been an asset to this book, but somehow this Spidey/Boomer story doesn't feel as if its playing with its strengths as much as Spencer's previous Boomerang-centric issues. The issue itself is mostly recaps and montages to explain the full extent of the Kingp–I mean Mayor Fisk's involvement with the book. It's just an alright issue that didn't bore me, but didn't excite me either. Read Full Review
Despite Spencer’s insistence on recapping what we all know in valuable page space, Amazing Spider-Man #41 is a strong addition to his run. By leaning into the cringe-inducing yet lovable nature of Spidey and Boomerang’s relationship, he gives us a story that is brisk and comical while still being genuinely intriguing. Similarly, by working together to make each page striking , the art team reinforces what makes the book fun. Readers will be happy with this one. Read Full Review
The best way to describe Nick Spencer's run on Amazing Spider-Man is "a return to normalcy." He is telling the types of stories that people think of when they think of a classic Spidey jaunt. However, these stories are also extraordinarily safe, making this current run merely "okay." Read Full Review
This issue is really, really funny. The reveal is unexpected, but it makes sense. I wonder how this lines up with Zdarsky's Daredevil. I also wonder what the long term is with this story arc. We've got so much going on already. I'm also curious to see how the Lethal Legion subplot will play out, and how it pertains to ALL the Chameleon related stuff. I know from solicitations that this and the previous "Sins of..." back up is teasing what's coming next in the Sins Rising arc. Nick Spencer is piling more and more on, and if it pays off, it'll be great. But if it's fumbled, that'll be too bad.
Boomerang and Spidey team-up. Nuff said.
Is it just me or does Boomerang work better as an ally than he did as an enemy? Better not get used to it. I got used to Sandman as a good guy for nearly a decade and look how that turned out.
Still, this was a good issue. I usually enjoy stories involving that menacing tablet. It also features the Kingpin as we love to hate him-at his meanest.
I've been into and out of the Spidey books a lot over the last 20 years. They're good, then they do something I don't like and I leave. They show promise again, they do something to blow it. But I have to say I've been enjoying them more the last few years than I have in a very long time. And this issue is a fine example of why.
Spider-Man and Boomerang going on a scavenger hunt is the cutest thing ever, I hope they are BFFs forever.
Boomerang and Spider-Man team-up is great!
It's alright and enjoyable.
No matter how much flashing back he does -- and he can do a *lot* -- Nick Spencer's Spidey just never digs his way out of the backlog of plot development the author dumps on him.
" I lost control back there. I can't let that happen again. It's just... For too long this thing that is rightfully mine has eluded me. Now to have it so close... A little while longer Vanessa... "

Its a good read with some fun moments and some enjoyable art. It was a solid read but just nothing groundbreaking which is perfectly alright.
