    This is the exact sort of action and intrigue many readers read Amazing Spider-Man for and it's proving an excellent end for a memorable era. Read Full Review

    Pichelli and Galan deliver some great art in the issue. There are some awesome visual gags and the art perfectly captures both the light and darker tones of the story. Read Full Review

    It's the team-up we've been waiting for as Ben and Peter face off against a treasure trove of colorful villains. Amazing Spider-Man #91 continues to build towards Beyond Corp getting what they deserve and Ben hopefully getting some peace. Read Full Review

    The excellent character drama continues to build as we near the end of this storyline, and it's aided by some really fun character banter. Read Full Review

    Really wanted this to be better than it actually was. Art actually brings the book down, but still a very fun read. Read Full Review

    Amazing Spider-Man #91 continues the Beyond storyline with Peter Parker and Ben Reilly teaming up against the Beyond Corporation. However, the story and team-up with the two Spider-Men is less thrilling than expected as they face Beyond's weird villain rejects. While the book is a little more quirky, the secret behind Door Z is a solid surprise that leaves room for better action in the next issue. Read Full Review

    Comic Book Revolution - Kevin Lainez

    Overall, Amazing Spider-Man #91 had the elements to be a great comic book. Unfortunately it is weighed down by how rushed Ben Reill's character arc and Beyond Corporation's full heel turn has turned out. Hopefully the final few issues of this whole Beyond era can turn things around to give us a satisfying ending. Read Full Review

    This issue was like a fun roller coaster that makes your body hurt after you ride it. Many highs, and lows, the change in artists was jarring. Unlike most however, I was a fan of the art overall. I cant lie though, something about the THWIP barrage was insanely hilarious to me. What an image. The ending was also great. I found the slow build and reveal of door z rendered and written in classic Spidey fashion.

    I use to really enjoy Sara pichelli's art but lately it's been going down in quality. I didn't even realize it was pichelli at first. While not the completely bad, I did find myself thinking the art was bothersome at times throughout the issue. Otherwise I thought it was a great issue!

    It's pretty good. I do wish Ben would've gotten more focus, so I would care about his character more.

    This issue is solid. Which is kind of a disappointment after the heights of the previous issue. I think Kelly Thompson might be the weakest writer of this Beyond era, and that pains me to say because I love her work, but something just seems off. Maybe she was rushed. Sara Pichelli is similarly disappointing. Her art is serviceable, but noticeably less good. Nothing here is bad by any means, it's just not what you'd expect coming up on the finale to this run.

    the story's fun, but the art is such an issue here. Sara Pichelli is amazingly talented, her work on Miles Spider-Man is some of the best art in modern comics. She also gets the excuse of losing her main colorist Justin Ponsor, which is a tragedy. However, her art in this issue just looks insanely lazy. The art also feels so rushed, and this is where most people would say that's because of the weekly release schedule. But each issue has had different pencillers mostly. I don't know what else to say. Other than that, the story is pretty good, but I would hesitate to recommend this issue solely because the art is not good at all.

    It was fun and bit of change from the previous ones. This beyond series doesn't have one unique identity by design and it suffers for it. Kelly Thompson does good and has many good quips but the way the issue goes around itself to get to the end was forced. Sara Pichelli style has changed and she can't finish issues anymore because of her back injuries. It's good but it has changed. The second artist change was jarring and took away from the issue overall.

    Ben out there giving us another "see ya chump", i guess he missed the part where that is his problem. Is the end of Beyond him coming full circle and becoming Bully Maguire? Kelly Thompson is one of my favorite writers working in comics today, and while the issues she wrote for beyond so far haven't been close to some of her other works like Hawkeye, Black Widow and Captain Marvel, it's still fun and a good read. Beyond has been a very fun arc, but the inconsistency between issues can be a problem sometimes, it's not the worst thing in the world but is disappointing to go from consecutive amazing issues like 75-76 and 89-90 to just a couple of fun issues. I must say however, something is off about Sara Pichelli's Art and i can't quit more

    I thought that the dialogue was the strongest part of this issue. It had me actually smiling and laughing whenever Ben and Peter were bantering back and forth. Even between Colleen and Misty. Great buddy cop dialogue in tense situations pays off here. What doesn't is the disjointed pacing. I'm not sure if it's to reflect how shattered Ben's mind is but things fly at you fast and I'm not the biggest fan. On that note, the change in artists abruptly within the last 6 pages was jarring. I though Pichelli's art here was better than I have seen it for a while at to have it chopped off right at the end was a disappointment.

    It wants to be great but, falls short by lacking emotion.

    IMO the weakest entry in the main ASM Beyond books so far. Pichelli's art was inconsistent, and most of the plot felt like anime filler lol. Still looking forward to how this finishes and hope this story wraps up strong!

    I hate to downrate creators I admire, but this issue just doesn't meet the arc's established "good not great" standard for art and writing. It's an average comic at best. The script does quipping and snarky banter well -- but this is the wrong part of the story for that. Ben's breakdown calls for tension, and the comedy and the slow pace produce the opposite effect. (I'm also thoroughly underwhelmed by the "Door Z" reveal.) The art is wildly dissonant. Sara Pichelli at the start and Fran Galán at the end are drawing completely different comics. (Watch Maxine; they can't even keep her outfit straight.) And there's a transitional zone in the middle, drawn by I don't know which artist, that doesn't match either end.

    You've heard of the expression "a series of ups and downs"??? That is the perfect way to describe the Beyond era. Some weeks, I am like "yay, this is awesome" and others I am like "okay, enough, bring Peter back full-time". This is the latter.

    Peter and Ben fighting chickens. Horrible writing (the dialogues are completely out of place) and I really don't know what happened to Pichelli's art (it sucks badly here). Giant step back from the great previous issues.

    I'm a big Kelly Thompson fan for most of her books but this issue was just such nonsense full of terrible "jokes" for what should have been a big issue with healthy Peter back to work with Ben.
