    Comic Watch - Jimmy Hayes Dec 8, 2021

    What could've been a really gross issue, turns into a charming, feel-good story in this tale of a MAY/December (WINK!) romance. Read Full Review

    The Comicbook Dispatch - StoryBabbler Dec 8, 2021

    The ending, when it comes to the matter of Aunt May and Doctor Octopus, is the only real downer of this comic. It's fairly predictable how it ends for those two, and it feels both sad and telegraphed while reading it. But that doesn't bring this comic down since it has two consequences that will actually matter in the main series, making this a must-buy for anyone invested in the Beyond storyline.

    What could have been just a silly lark of a story actually had some solid depth. This is a way better issue than the concept would have you think! Read Full Review

    AIPT - David Brooke Dec 8, 2021

    The Amazing Spider-Man #80.BEY works well as possibly the best Doc Ock and Aunt May adventure ever. Certainly, these two haven't had a lot of opportunities to affect Spider-Man's story, but Ziglar and the art team do well to capture the unique personalities of these two characters and how they jive with each other.

    But Why Tho? - Collier "CJ" Jennings Dec 8, 2021

    Amazing Spider-Man #80 BEY places Peter Parker's fate in the hands of his Aunt May and Doctor Octopus, resulting in a surprisingly engaging adventure. The ending not only resolves one of the Beyond Saga's subplots, but it sets up another one by igniting a battle between Doctor Octopus and the Beyond Corporation. I love that these one-shots continue to flesh out the Beyond Saga, and I look forward to the next one. Read Full Review

    Fiorelli, Gomez, and Medina meld their styles together to prevent any unnatural transitions, which is greatly helped by Rosenberg and Caramagna's contributions of consistency. Read Full Review

    Weird Science Marvel Comics - Weird Science Jim Dec 8, 2021

    The Amazing Spider-Man #80.BEY is a big issue by the end but is a slog getting there. The issue looks great, but Cody Ziglar seems more intent on writing lame jokes than a gripping plot, and it just feels like a missed opportunity. However, the ending is big enough to recommend finding out what happens, but that's about it. Read Full Review
