Simply put, this book is SLAMMIN'!!!!! You're definitely gonna want to buy this issue! Read Full Review

Mark Bagley delivers some fantastic art throughout this issue. From the characters to the action, everything looks amazing. This is an intensely emotional issue and that is brought through in the facial expressions of the characters. Norman's desperation is powerful and even with masks on, Peter and Gwen's emotions are beautifully expressed. Read Full Review

The Amazing Spider-Man #57 pushes Peter to the brink as Spider-Man declares he is finished taking part in the Osborn feud. Read Full Review

Amazing Spider-Man #57 concludes the 'Last Remains' as an example of how much of a mixed bag this storyline was. When it comes to how this story challenged Peter Parker we see how 'Last Remains' shines. The problem is that there are so many other things about this story that either worked or fell flat. Not having consistency with everything that Nick Spencer had in play created an uneven reading experience when all was said and done with 'Last Remains.' Read Full Review

Amazing Spider-Man #57 doesn't waste pages teasing new and unrelated stories. This time, we have an issue that keeps its focus on the “finale” of Last Remains. Action takes a backseat in favor of drama while giving us…answers? Well…The last remains of Last Remains wrap up in a way that may not satisfy some readers. Read Full Review

Amazing Spider-Man #57 feels a little overpacked with plot points, though it contains a highly emotional confrontation between Spidey and Norman Osborn. Next issue has promised to start the next era of Spencer's run on the series, and I hope it keeps its focus on a singular plot/character. Read Full Review

Another month, another issue that goes nowhere, but hey, looks like we got a Spider-centric super hero team now. Based on the dialogue in this issue, it feels like the creators are just messing with us at this point. Read Full Review

I absolutely love this book! I love Nick spencer's whole run but t lately it's been fantastic! I really enjoy how he sets up stories and tells a deeper story instead of rushing things. The artwork is also fantastic and has been for the the entire spencer run

Good issue as always.

On one hand last remains just needs to move on and I understand peoples frustrations but I really enjoyed this one. Do we get answers? No, but its filled with a hell of an interaction between norman and peter and just felt emotional throughout for me. Good read. Kindred will be back again.

Nobody's particularly happy to have stopped Kindred; it's obvious to all involved that the story isn't over. Lots of fear, lots of anger, particularly locked up inside Peter's head. He's nursing a full-blown case of PTSD that can and should be milked for plenty of angst in subsequent issues. I think both the words and the art in this issue are strong but not perfect. I wouldn't change a thing about the way the characters and the plot develop here, though. Outstanding.

The intrigue certainly keeps you on the edge of your seat for the next issue in this series. I don't remember being so into the Spider books in over 20 years. It will likely be a while till we see the big showdown (#900 & #100?) I know we can count on Nick Spencer to give us some exciting tales in the mean time. I sure hope Mark Bagley stays along as well. They've made a team that will likely go down among the legends of Marvel.
I'm not convinced Kindred is as captured as he seems. He'll likely escape quite easily at the moment he feels is right. And he plans on pulling his father and the Kingpin (Plus no telling how many other villains) in on the big showdown. What he has planned only he knows. That's how it stays so exciting. It's as though he knows he has all us readers in suspense.
This issue also covers one of Spider-Man's biggest weaknesses, his temper. When dealing with Norman, the man who's caused him more despair than most others combined, it's understandable how he can lose control. But has he forgotten what happened when he lost it and clobbered Norman like this in Spectacular #250? He ended up looking like the bad guy. You can never be too sure about what Norman is up to. Even if his new attitude is genuine, and if I were in Peter's shoes, I'd doubt it too, but I'd also remember to be careful. Because with Norman things are seldom what they appear to be.
These are good times to be reading Spider-Man books (Though things aren't going too pretty for him). And Nick Spencer must be doing something right because I never follow any of these other Spider-powered heroes who've been helping out the last few issues, but I still don't mind having them drop in. Odds are they each have a role in Kindred's ultimate plan as well. I expect lots more excitement in the months ahead. I can't wait to see what Spencer has up his sleeve next. more

“Last Remains: Post Mortem” Part II

Publisher: @marvel
Writer: Nick Spencer
Artist: @officialmarkbagleyart

Following a battle between Kindred, Norman and Spider-Man, Kindred has been captured and placed into a darkforce cage constructed by the Kingpin. Even though Norman has sided with the Kingpin to capture Kindred, has truly wants to help his son get better and desires the help of the one and only Spider-Man. However, Spidey doesn’t feel it’s wise to help his one time friend. In fact, he desires to be done with the Osborns all together. Things might not be as simple as that unfortunately.

This is a character-driven issue as Spider-Man continues to pick up the pieces and is attempting to put his life together. I’ve never seen Peter in such turmoil as this intensely emotional issue brings him to his breaking point. Norman's desperation to help his son is extremely powerful and Peter’s distain towards him as well his unwillingness to help is just as intense. This issue pushes Peter to the brink as Spider-Man declares he is finished taking part in the Osborn feud. However, they might not be finished with him. This intense issue was complemented with amazing artwork and I can’t wait to see what happens next. This Kindred saga is without a doubt Spencer’s best work on his Spider-Man run and is an absolute must read.

" I've seen so many différent version of you i can hardly keep them straight. They all lead to the same end though. Someone dies. Someone always dies."
- SPIDER MAN (PETER PARKER)

Still aftermath still DRE I guess? Aside from what came before it, it's fine as is. It's good Spidey/Osborn dynamics with Bagley art, it's as classic as it gets.
How can we decompress this story even more...oh wait I said a while ago we're going another 50 issues before we get any real resolution and It looks like that was a good guess. Now let's hope at issue 100 we actually fix OMD and not just do another 100 issues teasing this crap.

If you're still pissed off by the last issues... You won't like this. Or will you? Spencer starts teasing something new here, including Carlie Cooper in the mix. Of course there are still more questions than answers, but I'm not expecting much anymore. Also, there is a very satisfying moment that I won't spoil. All in all, a good issue.

These synopsis are really missleading and annoying to read.

As for the issue, it's fine? Once you have accepted that Last Remains isn't what you tought it would be, this is not half-bad. Bagley is wonderful as always and I really liked the dialogue between Peter and Norman.

Like the previous issue, these Post-Mortem issues are good as themselves and as epilogues. But since the Last Remains was such a letdown for me, these won't fix it.

And yes, the teases continue still. It seems that at this rate, Round 2 between Kindred and Spidey will be in #100...
