May 19, 2021Bagley has a brilliant eye for character and scope. There is an intimacy to this story and that comes through in the art with its use of close ups and two shots. Read Full Review

AIPT - David Brooke
May 19, 2021Spider-Man's life is never simple, and that shows in Amazing Spider-Man #66. The series seems to be disassembling its pieces to set in motion a new direction, and for that, this issue is an exciting chapter. Amazing Spider-Man has become a puzzle to solve, which helps make the complicated web of its narrative more interesting to read. Read Full Review

But Why Tho? - Collier "CJ" Jennings
May 19, 2021Amazing Spider-Man #66 feels rather disjointed, opting to set up a number of plot points for future stories that don't fully cohere. It does continue to prove that Mark Bagley is one of the best Spider-Man artists in the business. Hopefully, the next story arc will be smoother, more engaging, and sticks the landing.

The Comicbook Dispatch - ozwoods
May 19, 2021Amazing Spider-Man #66 shows the aftermath of King's Ransom and sets up the next big story arc or several. However, there's only story setup and a few surprise character re-introductions to set up future stories. Some that Spider-Man fans may or may not remember. It also talks about how big of a deal The Rose's return is but never shows or even explains why. Read Full Review

Comic Book Revolution - Kevin Lainez
May 22, 2021While the developments around Kindred are what this issue will be remembered for it is the focus around where Peter Parker is both personally and as Spider-Man where Amazing Spider-Man #66 shines. You get the feeling everything that happens here is the calm before the storm. Now if Nick Spencer can get a better handle on giving time to develop sub-plots beyond their introduction this series would be even better. Read Full Review

May 26, 2021Good art, but a disappointing wrap-up to a disappointing story that serves as a disappointing end to the Boomerang story arc, and I'm unsure about where this story is going anymore. Read Full Review

This was a good epilogue wrap up issue that gave of satisfactory conclusions to some story arcs, but also raised the stakes to the bigger A plot (Kindred). I can count at least three cliff hangers that had me surprised. I am genuinely excited for how everything will connect. And that last page reveal? OOh man, that was a shocker and I can already see people theorizing whats gonna happen next. Nick Spencer is on top of his game! And Bagley needs to stay on Amazing because his art was fantastic this issue!

Huh, I didn't expect so much in this issue. I don't necessarily remember the Rose being something to fear, but I guess you could describe his lack of skill and reasoning to be pure chaos. The two big things here is Kindred maaaay not be Harry Osborn and Betty Brant is back, and pregnant. The first one, I'm unsure about because the Harry at the end could just be Brand New Day Harry onwards, with Pre-OMD Harry being Kindred. Or Kindred isn't Harry Osborn at all, and is just using his face. Either possibility has its own ups and downs. I'm not sure which I'd prefer, but the latter would be crazy. The Betty Brant thing is pretty much out of left field. Who knows where that's going? But Spider-Man did promise Clone Ned Leeds to keep Betty safe w more

This issue finally clicked for me after so many letdowns. It blended old threads and new ones well to satisfy the negatives I had with the Kindred/kingpin threads. I was wrong to think Spencer was gonna stretch it for another 50 issues but he is actually blending the webs so well in this issue that I enjoyed it tremendously and made the previous problems much better overall now that I look back at them. Bagley's art was good as usual but wasn't his best overall. His classic style was good in many spots that it actually helped me feel like I'm rereading a story from 20 years ago if that makes sense.

Look, it may seem that I'm biased toward DC Comics, but I'm not. I like to keep things fair and I can definitely say this is a much stronger issue compared to last week, and kudos to Mark Bagley.

This was a pretty solid issue. It gave us the first good kindred moment in while. A few twists and just felt like good progression overall.

A decent start to a new arc. A good amount of new stuff...may or may not be good. Hope Spencer can keep up the momentum.

I had a feeling Kindred would escape soon and yes he has. It should be interesting what he has in mind for two sinister six groups. It was a sight to see Robbie and Tombstone agree to a truce. As for Boomerang, it's doubtful we've heard the last of him for long. But what about Gog? What's going to happen to him now? Who's going to take care of him? An interesting thing to note is that it's obvious most of the heroes feel the Kingpin's time as mayor must come to an end. I have a feeling some likely crossover is coming up. May I suggest the title "Impeach Fisk?" As for Betty....Well, I'm not sure what to think about that.

There is so much going on here and I'm excited to see where a lot of it is going, I just was more interested in what Peter was going through and we barely saw that.

It's business as usual for this title, with Spidey sitting like a stump as a range of different plotlines lumber slowly past him. The writing's decent and events are presented with a nice serving of Mark Bagley art, so it's not a particularly unpleasant read. And I should look on the bright side of this volume's recap-heavy style: It does make single issues a lot more self-contained than is normal for today.

Man this series took a nosedive recently. Honestly, after the main Kindred arc I feel everything is there just to be there. I liked the "classic" atmosphere during the Kingpin/Boomerang arc, but now even that is completely gone. So what do we have? ANOTHER villain back to life (The Rose, I mean, The Rose...) and Betty Brant being pregnant (everytime a pregnancy is shown in a Spider-Man arc things get horrible). Yeah, ok.
