A.X.E.: JUDGMENT DAY TIE-IN!
• It's time for Spider-Man to be judged, and I think we all know which moment in Spidey's history is going to weigh heavily on the proceedings.
• You don't want to miss this very special issue that might just break your heart all over again.
RATED T+
The Amazing Spider-Man continues its streak of excellence; don't miss this essential tie-in. Read Full Review
Amazing Spider-Man #10 is an excellent use of the event tie-in structuring, working off a structure set to dig into the Peter Parker character while advancing certain plotlines from the main title, right before it moves into its next crossover. Dragottas art was the perfect fit for a melancholy, reflective story that deals with a sense of longing and regret, playing up the physical aspects of Peter to convey the emotion onto the page. Its hard to say this close-up, but with time, this issue may be spoken of in the same breath as Spider-Man: Blue when discussing the legacy of Gwen Stacy. Read Full Review
Fun, vibrant and visually enjoyable throughout. The story is very thoughtful and interpersonal and Dragotta brings that out with the visuals and the emotions of the characters. Read Full Review
I want to hate this book. I wanted to bash it for the interruptions to the main flow of the ongoing run. Yet Wells has shown the importance of that special person, for not just Peter and by doing so, could lead to some interesting places. Read Full Review
Going down the well of Peter and Gwen again is a tough tightrope to walk (mixing a metaphor). Though there were a few bumps- particularly with the dragged out mystery of MJ- this was one of my favorite Spider-Man issues in recent memory. Read Full Review
Amazing Spider-Man #10 takes Peter Parker on an apology tour as the day of judgment has arrived in an A.X.E.: Judgment Day tie-in. (Un)surprisingly, there's almost no Spider-Man in this issue. Spidey doesn't involve himself in the battle, he doesn't help the NYC citizens as panic sets in, and he doesn't use the opportunity to set things right from the mysterious events of issue #1. Peter visits everyone he cares about (except MJ) to let them know how much he cares. Lots of feel-good moments that amount to a whole lot of filler. Read Full Review
The Amazing Spider-Man #10 utilizes the function of the big Marvel event to test Peter, even though we all know he's as pure as heart as they come. It makes for a nice series of reunions for Spider-Man, but ultimately this issue treads water as we await something of importance happening anytime soon. Read Full Review
Another crossover issue, but this one plays to both Wells's and Dragotta's strengths the result is a beautiful and deeply-felt porrait of Peter, full of tenderness, humor and insight. Jonah's reaction to judgment was fun and Peter's response to it is lovely in its grace, and both Aunt May's experience of judgment and the ending made me tear up. And I really appreciate how Wells gets into ordinary people trying to juice their numbers at the last moment, a realistic detail that we haven't seen much of this crossover. This one's a gem.
Man, if it wasn't for Dragotta's art in this issue, I probably would have given this a 10. Don't get me wrong, the art in this book isn't the worst I've ever seen, but I just was not a huge fan of it here. There were some sections I liked, but there were others where things just looked wonky. One example of this is when Peter yells at Norman to leave, and his face looks too spaced out. I feel as though even John Romita Jr. would have done this more justice. However, the story from Wells here is absolutely fantastic. A.X.E. was a fantastic event, and the tie-ins I did great were enjoyable as well. This issue is no exception. This issue is jam-packed with heart and emotion, as it's full of heartfelt moments for Spider-Man fans. Overall, this more
This actually stunned me. Twice. I started to tear up. I don't want to say anything about the story of this issue because I couldn't do it justice. Everything just clicked. All of the characters, all of the dialogue. That's rare. It's special. The art less so but I can look past it because the journey whether or not the art was top notch was still worth it. Holy cow.
I dont know how any longtime Spidey fan could give this anything below a 8
I wanted to like this more than I did. The ideas are there. Peter constantly trying to ignore his greatest trauma is very in keeping with the character. In fact, everything here is in character. And there are some really beautiful moments here. But I do not like Dragotta's art. I don't know if he has a go-to inker that wasn't present for this issue, or what, but the linework really left a lot to be desired. I'm slightly baffled, because I usually *do* like Dragotta's art. It takes away from a story that I think is actually great. I wish I could rate it on the story alone. Wells gets these characters and understands why we, as fans, care. But... the art bothers me too much.
Nearly 50 years and it still gets me!
The art could have been a little stronger.
Pretty good issue for being a tie in
Had some good emotion, and felt like a good read.
its a good tie-in. really liked it. Art could use more work though. even though this isnt groundbreaking, it was still interesting to read.
Between the guest artist and the one-off nature of the story, I was thrown for a loop. This is a lot more subtle than usual for this volume, which is one reason I initially underrated it. And I'm still not going too high. It's a good heartstring-tugger, but "Peter Parker is empathic and responsible" is one of Marvel's lowest-hanging heartstrings.
I like that it's not entirely a one-off; there's an important clue about the Awful Mystery Event that happened before #1. I really hope the Norman development on the final page is strictly Judgment-Day-related, though.
I'm also liking "Kamala Khan is an Oscorp intern" less and less.
It's a predictable Tie-in albeit a nice one. Zeb Wells is good with ASM characters but I need more here than a nice little story that beats the same drums as before. Dragotta style is the same but it's ASM with characters that have been pre-defined so he can't do the same flair with East of West's new characters that everyone expects.
Huh.
It's a tie-in that works. Dragotta's art doesn't, but there are many good moments here.
I'm giving this a 6 only for the final hint at a crazy Norman. But everything else is mediocre at best and terrible at worst. The art is HORRENDOUS, it looks unfinished and doesn't work at all with a story this serious. And please, please, please... Leave Gwen Stacy alone. Stop beating that dead horse! It's not touching, it's just annoying and boring.
Decent comic, albeit the story was pretty basic as far as these AXE tie ins are concerned. The art wasn’t for me, nothing against the artist, just not for me.
You know this could’ve been an ok issue if the art wasn’t so f—king ugly
People LIKE this art? Really? Whew. Awful.
Story didn't go anywhere - and hated JJJ's sudden cowardice - until last 3-4 pages. Could've been SOOOO much better.
This was where ASM started losing me. Judgement Day Axe, totally lame, especially after the Tombstone arc which was really good. Even the issue that had the throwback to the robot from the old ASM issues was really good, alo the Vulture issue was cool!. The next few issues on ASM after this one were good, not great. Then I threw in the towel after issue #14 with the Dark Web crap.
But this is where ASM 2022 started to decline for me.....
