May 05, 2021Both artists deliver great visual moments throughout the issue. The action is beautifully done and the expression filled characters are delightful. A brilliantly action packed issue from start to finish. Read Full Review

But Why Tho? - Collier "CJ" Jennings
May 05, 2021Amazing Spider-Man #65serves as the penultimate entry to the "King's Ransom" arc, also paying off multiple threads from Nick Spencer's run. Next week will see a "Giant-Size" one-shot that wraps up the story arc properly, and I'm interested to see how this continues to affect not just Peter Parker's life but Boomerang's as well.

The Comicbook Dispatch - ozwoods
May 06, 2021Amazing Spider-Man #65 delivers a fast ride to resolve this Romeo & Juliet kidnapping and get things set up for the story arc's true conclusion. If you're not sold on Randy & Beetle, this issue might sell you on Robbie & Tombstone working together. Maybe. But this issue's real strength is how fast it gets you to the real meat and bones of this comic and straight to the action you want to see. Read Full Review

Comic Book Revolution - Kevin Lainez
May 06, 2021Amazing Spider-Man #65 is a fun action-heavy comic book. The artwork by Federico Vicentini and Federico Sabbatini carry this issue. While the relationship between Randy Robertson and Janice Lincoln falls flat, the developments with Mayor Fisk help keep you interested in how Nick Spencer plans to wrap up the "King's Ransom" storyline.

Weird Science Marvel Comics - wolfcypher
May 07, 2021Simply put, its a straightforward conclusion to our Randy/Janice arc. Whenever I found the dialogue to be lacking, the art and the action made up for it. It's not the most exceptional conclusion, but this arc was just a distraction set up by our bigger villain (Wilson Fisk) to prepare for (I'm hoping) an even bigger problem. Read Full Review

COMICON - James Ferguson
May 06, 2021The unlikely duo of Robbie Robertson and Tombstone find common ground as fathers. Meanwhile, Spider-Man teams up with the Syndicate to help save the day as yet another storyline looms in the distance for this crowded series. Read Full Review

Major Spoilers - Matthew Peterson
May 10, 2021A chaotic story with overly-stylized and unclear art, featuring a lot of moving parts crashing into one another. Not my favorite Spider-era. Read Full Review

Great fun, gives a nice resolution to some storyline's while setting up for next weeks king-size conclusion to the overall arc. I'm really happy that this didn't just feel like part 3 of 4, but felt like an exciting and satisfying story in and of itself, that's something you don't see quite often enough these days.

The story here is a lot of fun, no complaints there. The art is not so good. Some of it looks unfinished. I assume that's Federico Sabbatini. But even Federico Vicentini's art, which I usually like, doesn't work very well with the big action scene. It's hard to tell what's going on in some of these panels.

After Last Remains, King's Ransom has been a very enjoyable ride. It doesn't think it's more than that and that is enough for me.

Its a little corny like most of the run has been but it also has that fun charm you want in a spidey book. Overall a pretty fun issue. On a side note.... I can get behind renumbering of volumes, I can somewhat get behind the .lr .hu issues but, i do not like the fact that to finish this story I have to get kings ransom #1? Why not just oversize the next issue. Very annoying.

It was a good number, however it feels as if Spiderman has been diluted between so many themes and characters.

While this was a fun issue I feel like Spidey is fading into the background around the supporting characters.

Not bad but not great either. Fun read with fitting dynamic art. I am still underwhelmed by the stories juggling way too many side characters leaving Spider-Man as a supporting character in an average story. Still gonna be here for the conclusion (Maybe? nothing ever truly ends in these books). This book is headed towards a weekly publishing schedule this summer with Sinister War so I am not optimistic on the quality picking up but hope springs eternal!

A decent issue. I've read better, but also read worse. So far King's ransom earns a 3.5 out of 5 stars. I hope we get to the bottom of this tablet stuff soon. If Boomerang is done as Peter's roommate maybe he should keep Gog, since the little guy is so fond of him. They'd make quite a team. I guess Robbie and Tombstone will have to learn to live with their kids in item. It was a little funny in ways. My only complaint is this crappy cyber suit. HOW MANY lame changes have been attempted to Spider-Man's wardrobe over the years, always destined to return to the original red and blue? Let's face it. OF ALL Marvel's heroes from the "Marvel Age" in the early '60s, The one we know will never have a new look that tops what he was given then is Spi more

The art in this issue is highly stylized and fits ASM very well...that said, I'd rather have a consistent artist than a rotation. Maybe Marvel shouldn't do books biweekly if they can't keep up... Peter's in 7 pages of this issue, about 1/3 of the comic...people can claim Nick Spencer isn't writing Spider-Man, point to this issue and be sorta correct.

Spidey and Robbie team up with the Syndicate and Tombstone to save the day in this fight spectacular. As usual for a Nick Spencer script, the prose doesn't wow me. But I respect the thematic work. The way the "father's responsibility" theme links Robbie, Tombstone, and Osborn is great. Spidey works a "redemption" theme as he pivots from teaming up with villains to rescuing Boomerang. It's not as strong as the fatherhood theme, but it's certainly not bad. This was written as a good, potentially great comic. And it's dragged down to mere acceptability by two shabby art performances. The lines in the opening and closing scenes are so fragile that they'd work better without color. And the fight sandwiched in the middle is a hopeless mess, a more
