Were quickly approaching the Sinister War, and Spencer and the gang are chugging along. This issue is full of subplots featuring new faces, old faces, and possibly cloned faces? Spencer brings lot of energy with this book, and theres loads of potential for greatness. Hopefully the pay off will be worth the wait. Read Full Review

Amazing Spider-Man #68 puts the Chameleon on standby to explain a few other things. For anyone looking to see the Chameleon in action, you'll still have to wait. That storyline is put on hold while the comic focuses on Ned Leeds' return and the supervillain heist for the Catalyst. The former feels somewhat confusing while the latter feels a little more fun to read. Read Full Review
The Amazing Spider-Man hits up a new issue this week that explains one character's revival before another is put into grave danger. Read Full Review
As a setup issue, the story presented here isn't bad; it just reads as unfinished. It picks up plot points and carries them forward to varying degrees, but ends up never having an impactful moment to hang its hat on. That makes Amazing Spider-Man #68 unremarkable, even if it's necessary. Read Full Review
Knowing that Nick Spencer's run is ending in a few months, it kind of morphed my opinion of this issue, in hindsight after reading it. I give this series a lot of praise. It is continually my favorite comic on the shelves, I truly do enjoy this run. However, part of the enjoyment of this run is built on the promise that the conclusion will be satisfying. This is the penultimate arc. I really don't understand why we're reintroducing Ned Leeds and Betty's pregnancy so, so late into this run. This arc feels like two separate ideas forced together. For a story arc named after him, Chameleon seems very unimportant to this story. Now, maybe it all comes together at the end, and maybe my worry is for nothing but as of now, I worry that what we getmore
A vote of confidence, Spencer in the past issue has dropped the book, this seems to pick up the main theme.
It's nice to see that the rhythm has picked up, a bit slow for my taste.
If the writer doesn't get lost along the way, I think very interesting things will come, Spencer is leaving interesting crumbs and if he leaves a bit of rambling The Amazing can get very hot and give us the quality that we are used to.
I wish I could say Ned's excuse was believable, but I foresee more to be revealed, which may translate as "The Truth." I'm not even convinced it even is the real Ned and not another piece in Kindred's Endgame. long dead character returns , especially in Spider-Man.
The Chameleon stuff is a bit dull honestly. I never have believed all the Teresa claim either, and still believe she was cooked up to hurt Peter by someone, even if she doesn't know. I think the best part of the last couple of issues has been the Sinister War preludes. I have higher expectations for it than these last couple of stories, Spencer. Don't let me down.
It has some good points but, it just feels like its filler in some ways before we get into sinister war. I am liking the clairvoyant part the most but, lets get on with the Chameleon already.

It still reads busy and unfinished somehow. Maybe the mystery plot points all over the place are not helping. Spencer knows ow to grab your attention but He does carry too much and loses things along the way only to bring them back when you completely forgot about them. But if only the art was great and consistent. The 3 art teams in 1 issue here do not help at all. Once you get used to one, another comes along and slaps your eyes. Again this book is good and the stories are interesting but going almost weekly will destroy the editing and the art.
First of all, I really dislike the art here. This Manga-like style is definitely not for Spidey. Speaking of the story... I don't mind this Clairvoyant mystery that's linked to The Foreigner and Betty Brant. However, I'm not in the mood for another "mystical return from the dead" by Ned Leeds. So now we discover he's been alive for a decade and was brought back by a random dose of Goblin serum he got in a Osborn hideout in Europe? The heck is this. I hope it's a red herring or I'll be seriously annoyed.
It was okay, a lot better than last issue
This comic is its own Cliffs Notes: Plot beats conveyed with clarity, but missing the character connections and storytelling texture that make a story engaging. I can't forgive Pete sitting through 7 straight pages of backstory; that's some Roy-Thomas-level expository BS.
