If Amazing Spider-Man can sustain this energy, it's well on its way to producing another classic storyline for Marvel's flagship series. Read Full Review

The Amazing Spider-Man #34 is a great blend of visual storytelling and dark horror. Regardless of whether you disagree with an evil Spider-Man, the technical ability unfolding from lettering, plotting, and art is exceptional. Read Full Review

This is just too good. Peter breaking bad like this.... very fun. We know it won't be forever. But to see him let loose a bit is cathartic.

What a banger of a comic. JRJR made the best cover he has made in a while, Gleason was on fire with art and Wells script just works

It's just damn good comic and I had hell of a time reading it.

Another fast paced issue but it has weight to it. Peter is terrifying which is an amazing representation of what I think the Green Goblin has kind of lacked in people's minds. If THIS is what Norman's sins and the Goblin make a person, then you should be very afraid. Almost everything that I care about this run was touched on. The Tombstone plot, Norman's degrading mental state and Peter's burgeoning relationship with him, Peter, Paul and MJ, Queen Goblin. All some of the biggest highlights.

Another really solid issue. This is the best arc of Spider-Man we've had in a while.

Before I get into this book, I just wanted to say that this is one of Romita Jr.'s best main covers on this run so far, if not his very best. Moving on, I continue to enjoy the "Spider-Man's Hunt" storyline. I said this in my review of the last issue, but it reigns true here as well, in that this darker direction has really been helping out this series. Peter getting revenge on people who have wronged him in his life is entertaining to read, and I particularly thought his interaction with Norman was well-written. I don't want to jinx it, but with this storyline and Gang War coming up in November, things continue to look up for this run.

Solid issue, the art was done very well and fit the vibe.

Biggest downside is Paul’s stupid face is in it.

I'm loving what Zeb Wells and Patrick Gleason are doing with Peter/Spider-Man completely off the rails in this new arc. Everything is SO dark and twisted and Wells' writing and Gleason's art has completely sold the character turn. This issue had some moments that weren't as crisp and tense as the previous two issues, notably the MJ scenes, but that doesn't mean it still didn't deliver a compelling story and moved the plot along.

The scenes with Kraven buried alive could make anyone feel claustrophobic and Gleason & colorist Marcio Menyz really have produced a visual delight in Peter's new black Spider-Man costume. They both use shadowing to great effect throughout the issue, keeping Spider-Man drenched in shadows to build suspense and lean into the horror aspect.

The ending left us with some interesting potential next steps and I'm dying to know how this all plays out. more

It's not bad actually. I thought I didn't care for Paul until I see his face and then I'm revolted at that dumb story plot point. Gleason is great!
