However ridiculous it is that Spider-Man is now Spider-Goblin, you can't deny the battle with the Sinister Six doesn't satisfy completely. Peter Parker may be in a terrible place, but Amazing Spider-Man hasn't been this fun in ages. It's wacky in the best of ways. Read Full Review

The overall story continues to build suspense as the risk to Peter's life grows increasingly evident and a collection of supporting characters prepare to rally for his side. It's another excellent issue that promises the best is still yet to come. Read Full Review

I don't hate it. This is a very interesting twist and something I'm excited to follow down the Goblin hole! Read Full Review

McGuinness and Nauck are the saving grace of this issue as their art is the only thing that I really enjoyed about it. The visuals were vibrant, engaging and thrilling. Read Full Review

Amazing Spider-Man #51 is a mixed bag of visually appealing art and cool fight scenes, offset by tonally inconsistent writing and a rehashed plot concept that's less than a year old. Die-hard fans of ASM are already hanging on to this title by their fingernails, and this issue does nothing to give them a helping hand. Read Full Review

The art is on point, and the character writing is good, but the plot leaves a lot to be desired.' Read Full Review

I really appreciate how much is being tackled in just 20 pages. The continuation of the current threat that is the Green Goblin's return, Kraven's pursuit of redeeming Spider-Man from the other Spider-Goblin arc, Ben's journey back to becoming himself, the dangling Sinister Six plot which had honestly felt like such an afterthought since the anniversary issue. It all blends seamlessly together in a fast paced yet still story rich book. My only complaint is that I think Todd Nauck should get the lead pencil duties. I'm not a big fan of McGuinness on Spider-Man. Everyone is a little too chunky.

I'm surprised by how many threads are being pulled on for this arc. Some obvious, some not so much. The art is great and the writing is a step above what Wells usually puts out. I really hope they use this arc to redeem some of the less good elements of the run, like they seem to be doing with Ben and Kamala.

I still think the start of this run was horrendous. I still think anytime he touches MJ it’s garbage. But, the little things that he’s planted along the way, are they actually going to pay off?

Great job on the art.

Maybe my memory is bad, but legit i think this is the best arc in this run and especially this issue i do not get how someone would hate it.

This is such a joy to read. it's bombastic as hell, it's cheesy, it's goofy, but what are the sinister six, if not that. They all scream with character and the issue is not even focused on that so much. Just the exaggerated prideful expressions turning to faces full of fear, the dialogue, the action flows really well and the reading is exciting, because of all the explosiveness Mcguiness give it with his art. But again not to underestimate the plotting and how clear and concise it is,while again with the rhythm the arts gives it.

It's an entertaining issue with great art and nice surprises. Zeb started strong and continues his streak with this one.

Something about the tone isn't quite clicking and we really did just do evil peter a few months ago, but this is very readable and I like how the storytelling feels.

Great art and fun story. Wish there was more depth to the story though.

Really fun issue, you can see McGuiness is having a good time by the way he's drawing

Dare I say that ASM has had two good issues in a row? It's not truly amazing, but it's another fun issue that's been needed for this series.

Art: 3.5/5
Story: 3.5/5
Total: 7/10

Great art in general but the story and dialogue are brutally corny. Only issue with the art is how he seems to lean into the goofiness of the story.

It's so disappointing that Marvel not only allows but embraces Wells run that doesn't take the title seriously. This feels like a goofy digital comics not the main series. Marvel's been struggling mediocre titles trying to be "fun" that just play off corny.
