    The lastest chapter of Gang War brings forth a game-changing character to an already explosive saga. Wells paces the multiple storylines with solid writing. Romita and the art team craft some excellent visuals in the backdrops to show readers things have only just begun. Youll want to keep your eye out for this issue on New Comic Book Day!

    Amazing Spider-Man #40 is an interesting issue, although it doesn't pack the wallop one would expect from a major crossover event issue.

If you accept those terms of the story, it's fun enough. Read Full Review
