Completely agree with you, he's been what, almost 10 years on the title? it's time for a new team.
• "BEYOND" NEARS ITS END!
• WHAT IS BEHIND DOOR Z?!
• Ben makes his way to the same place Miles Morales was last at, and he is nowhere to be found. Just door after door of true horrors.
• Any door's resident could kill Spider-Man, but Door Z's might just destroy the whole city!
RATED T+
Gorgeous art, a thrilling story, what more could you want in a comic? Grab some Tobasco sauce and throw it on your fingers before reading this-cause it's a real nail-biter!! (Please feel free to direct any boo's for that joke to the Comic Watch editors) Read Full Review
Amazing Spider-Man #92sets the stage for the conclusion of the Beyond Saga, with both Spider-Men facing the corporation's horrific experiments. The last issue will feature a battle between Peter and Ben to see who picks up the mantle of Spider-Man and sets up the next era of Amazing Spider-Man. It's fair to say that Marvel is kicking off the web-slinger's 60th anniversary in style. Read Full Review
While much of the issue is spent moving the story forward with the finale just weeks away, the chase to get there is plenty enjoyable, especially given how those battles and reunions are portrayed. Read Full Review
Amazing Spider-Man #92 is a good, not great transitional issue. As we approach the end of the larger story it's obvious the narrative is biding its time by playing out some side stories here, but heck, it's filled with fun comic book moments. From sound effects to attacking sandwiches, it's a good time. Read Full Review
The penultimate issue of the story is a lot of fun, but the artist jam nature of the interiors does drag it down a little. Read Full Review
Amazing Spider-Man #92 shows off the new form of The Lizard, or Creature Z, and it's pretty underwhelming. The story barely features this new take on the classic Spider-Man villain and really becomes Misty Knight and Colleen Wing's comic for the most part. However, when the comic focuses on Ben Reilly, that's where the writing is at its best and helps set the stage for the next issue in the Beyond saga. Read Full Review
This issue is better than last week's. I think Kelly Thompson was seriously just too busy to give this run her full attention. It would explain why, inexplicably, Jed MacKay scripted this issue based on her story. I think the issue may have turned out better for it, as MacKay is very talented, but it makes me wonder if given more room to breathe, if Thompson would've fit better on this title. The pacing and character work here is better, but I can't say the same for the art. I really don't understand why this run needs multiple fill-in artists, when the whole idea was rotating creative teams. At this point, it must be on Marvel's editorial, rather than any of the creators. Petition to get Devin Lewis to replace Nick Lowe? Seriously, he'd bemore
The overall structure of this issue is better then the last but I honestly enjoyed the last more. Really just for the fun quippy dialogue. Separating Ben and Peter has only been a detriment to this arc as a whole and while it served the story for a purpose I kind of tuned out when they weren't together. Ben's story isn't strong enough to stand on it's own which is a shame because I love Ben. The Misty and Colleen subplot is also something I don't really think it necessary but it is serviceable. I at least like the relationship they have with Peter. MacKay is just a stellar writer. I wish he was sticking with ASM. I have the same problem as I did last issue with the artist swapping and there was even less Pichelli.
It was good, but from an editorial standpoint this is a mess. When the solicits came out Thompson was gonna write this but it turns out she only did the plot, i thought well, she probably has a lot on her plate with Black Widow, Captain Marvel and Her Substack work so i understand why Mackay is writing, but then we have 3 rotating artists...they're amazing but they have clashing styles, which gives the worst feeling a comic can give which is inconsistency. And 3 rotating artists is just one more indicative that the only thing this book is consistent is the editorial staff doing such an underwhelming job that even when they have determined the number of issues to tell a story they will still find a way to rush the creative team, putting 3 tomore
Better pacing here and a MUCH better script than the previous issues, props to Jed MacKay for this one
A nice step up from the previous issue. It's very well-written, with fun dialogue and a compelling look inside Ben's head. And it's drawn half-well.
Imma say it: Fran Galán was a bad choice for this arc. I actually like his style, but he's not (yet) good enough at detail and visual storytelling to match up with the other Beyond artists. You just hurt him further when you give him less than an issue; it's guaranteed his pages will be next to better-drawn ones.
It's alright. I like the Ben parts but, I feel the Peter parts weren't as entertaining.
this was a bit of a let down from previous issues but its still interesting.
It's odd to think Beyond will end. Sure, this is pretty good, but ending it now feels so sudden. Like there hasn't been enough buildup. Looking back now, I sure wish the earlier parts would've been much better, so that this ending didn't need to do all the character work for Ben.
As for Ben, I'm getting a bit Kaine-vibes now. I don't like it. When Beyond first started, I remember saying Kaine would've been the better choice for this role.
Right now, Ben is just eh. I don't really care for him. Then again, I haven't cared for him since his first death.
Felt like almost nothing happened in this issue
