Amazing Spider-Man #64sees the "King's Ransom" storyline progress at a steady pace, while hinting at the next big story for the web-slinger. As was the case with "Last Remains," Spencer is paying off plot threads he set up in earlier issues and his labor has borne some rather intriguing fruit. Read Full Review

Amazing Spider-Man has been in top form for a long time. Nick Spencer is now tying up several past plots into a really entertaining series of events, and as always, he has the privilege of getting some excellent art talent to come along for the ride. Read Full Review

Amazing Spider-Man #64 was a vast improvement over the first chapter of the "King's Ransom" story arc. The sense of urgency from Spider-Man, Robbie Robertson, Wilson Fisk, and others made you invested in the latest developments around the war for power and control of New York City underground. The surprising development in the greater Kindred plotline added to the success of this issue. Read Full Review

Relationship troubles lead to an all-out gang war with Spider-Man stuck in the middle. The supporting cast takes center stage in this issue as a few plot threads look closer to wrapping up than ever before. Read Full Review

A nimble writing book, putting the pieces together for the next hit. On the one hand Kingpin forcing Kindred in a cruel way.

For another Robbie and Tombstone fighting again before Spider makes his entrance to stop the conflict.

I love the new Spider suit it's totally cool.
In the end he leaves us with an arch enemy of the spider is back.
Great story, abundant action, great art.

Enjoyable.

I'm really enjoying this arc. And while the Kindred teases are getting annoying, I'm once again intrigued by them.

Man, I've missed Octavius for a while now!

Moving the story with nice art but ultimately just another run of the mill Spencer ASM issue. I will always read ASM but I do wish it was better than this.

Stories featuring the rivalry between Robbie and Tombstone are always exciting. Though Nick Spencer was a little off. In their last tussle was Web of Spider-Man #68, where Tombstone was accidentally given new powers, and out of gratitude for his role he told Robbie it settled their debts.
It's a good enough issue. I see I was right about Dr.Strange and Mephisto's encounter a few issues ago not being explained for the time being. But Kingpin and Mordo are determined to get into Kindred's head to find what they want. Even in his evil days Norman wouldn't have stood for this.
One of the most exciting parts was the Sinister War epilogue at the end. I missed the Superior Spider-man stuff, so I was wondering what Doc Ock has been up to. It's been much too long since he and Spidey last tangled. He is after all the only villain with a grudge against the web swinger rooted anywhere as as deep as The Goblin's. It is good to see him back as I remember. Sun glasses and a pot belly in green and yellow. I can't wait for Sinister War. Should be good. Especially since it looks like the real Electro may be back for it too. more

" Crime Master. Another one. Seriously what makes these guys keep adopting failed super-villain identités ?"

Amazing has been a solid average comic for quite a while. Its nothing that leaves you on the edge of your seat but, its fun and it has some charm. Id like to spencer just slam dunk an arc but it never seems to pan out.

Spidey struggles to stay relevant as three plotlines develop with minimal involvement from him. Robbie and Tombstone team up to save their kids, Fred goes after the last Lifeline fragment on his own, and Mordo (at Fisk's direction) starts to wake up Kindred. These stories are progressing in interesting ways, but they're conveyed with underwhelming words and art here.

It seems to be a waste to use Nick Spencer on anything Spidey-related other than "Superior Foes." He's practically turned ASM into that, which is a real Catch-22. Hooray, more Superior Foes! But boo, we want real ASM!

Spencer dropped the ball hard on this loooong time ago. He's just writing for the lowest common denominator at this point. No one gives a shit about Kindred anymore.
