RATED T+
Peters bruised and beaten. He wasnt expecting whats happened, and hes going to have a hell of a time rolling into his next issue, but this one continues a time-honored tradition of keeping Spidey spinning through the danger without allowing him much of a chance to rest. It would be exhausting if it werent for someone like Wells handling it as well as he does and someone like Romita Jr. bringing it to the page with such a breadth of style. Things arent going to get any easier for Spidey next month but then...when have they ever been easy for him? Read Full Review
If there's more action like this coming, readers should be thrilled even if their favorite webslinger will be anything but. Read Full Review
Amazing Spider-Man #13 has some of the best action you'll find in comic shops this week. Spidey goes up against two villains and gets battered so bad it'll likely show up on lists, which is saying something since Spider-Man has his fair share of beatdowns! Read Full Review
John Romita Jr ramps up the actions with thrilling art that showcases the power of the character as well as the stakes of the fight. Read Full Review
The Hobgoblin and Spider-Man brawl in one of the volume's best issues so far. The story is full of twists and character growth, and the art is full of action. Read Full Review
Amazing Spider-Man #13 is a slightly more cohesive, but just as disinteresting installment of the web-crawlers ongoing story. Like many of the other stories in this run, the issue reads like a prelude to another story coming down the line and tries to mask it with an extended fight sequence. The sequence is well illustrated and colored, but can only do so much to keep the reader engaged. Its a shame that Romita Jr., Hanna, and Menyz are doing some of their best and most innovative work on such a bland story, as it could be an opportunity to visually refresh Spider-Man for a new era. The next issue kicks off the Dark Web crossover, and itll be interesting to see if the book shifts gears, as it seems Wells has been building this entire run to that story in particular.

Final Thoughts:Amazing Spider-Man #13 is a quick, serviceable, standard Spider-Man battle that deals with the present threat and plants seeds for a more significant challenge on the horizon. This issue is better than forgettable, but it feels like Wells is simply going through the motions. Read Full Review
I thought this issue was very energetic. Romita's art can be hit or miss, but the energy and motion of it is undeniable and one of its best qualities. This issue sets up some interesting things going forward, that I do hope deliver.
THIS WAS SO EPIC. Im corious about the direction of the goblin queen, because i LOVED THIS.
An entertaining conclusion to this storyline that, like the Tombstone arc before it, leaves the door open for more. As I said in my review for the previous issue, I’ve really been enjoying Norman in this series and I continue to do so here. He almost falls back into the Green Goblin mindset for a brief moment before being stopped by Peter, who is very fun in this issue as well. His mid-air fight with Roderick and Ned is enjoyable and Romita’s art is solid. Good stuff once again from this book.
This series feels like classic Spidey. Maybe its the art, or action packed fast paced storytelling, but it reminds me of the 90s Spidey cartoon a bit and that is not a bad thing at all.
Beyond qualms with Peter's relationship status that don't bother me much, I'm enjoying this series... and the Gold Goblin suit is very cool. Norman as a whole has been very interesting to read since having his sins eaten.
This has been a great series overall possibly the most consistent and best on the shelf from the big two. Since issue 1. I have rather enjoyed this run and can't wait for the next arc to start. Also the Kraven's last hunt variant cover is top notch.
I liked it. I'm really enjoying this run, even if I have no reason to, since the status quo should be something I heavily dislike.
But it still works for me. Sure, I don't like how over-reliant Peter feels to Osborn's suit sometimes, but I still enjoy this.
Ahh, the ol' last-page villain reveal. Often cheap, often lame, definitely a cliche. And yet it won't die.
Because it can still hit REALLY hard when it's done well -- as it is here.
While I might not be thrilled with this volume's usual standard of tactical writing, the big-picture plotting is pretty dang formidable.
An action-heavy, costume-heavy finale suits the artist's talents, producing some nice visuals and ending this short arc on an uptick.
I stand by what I said last issue that this arc needed a little more substance and length to it. It's not bad, probably the most consistent arc so far in terms of tone, characterization, dialogue and setup. I do like where things are heading towards for Norman and Peter as well as the option for more Hobgoblin stories down the line.
It was another fun issue. The art's pretty horrendous, but it also has its moments. I can't find much to say I didn't like.
A really good issue, it was a good ending.
It's good enough but just feels like reading a run I did 10 years ago and forgot the details. It works as an ASM book but nothing earth shattering. Comfort food for 12 minutes.
How can someone rate this more than 7 is beyond me. Dialogues are mostly bland and JRJR is getting worse each issue. Nothing is particularly memorable or shocking (I saw that plot twist coming a mile away, just look at ASM 11's cover closely!).
Probably the most mediocre Amazing Spider-Man run I can recall as of now.
JRJR has to be the worst artist in the Business.
Making osborn bad again is dumb
NED LEEDS IS NOT THE HOBGOBLIN PLEASE STOP
