RATED T
Overall, this is a solid issue that delivers a powerful punch, leaving you wondering if Spidey can recover. With three lives already spent, he's down to just five. How will Spidey overcome this formidable third Scion? I guess we'll have to wait and see in the next installment. Read Full Review
Cyrios forces Peter to revisit Yesterday and laments his inability to Let It Be while ignoring that mindfulness and judgmentalism don't Come Together. As Peter struggles to prevent past failures from ruining his present, more scions of Cyttorak study him in Amazing Spider-Man #63. One seeks power, the other freedom, and both have likely watched Bill And Ted's Excellent Adventure. Read Full Review
Justina Ireland pens a fantastic issue in place of Joe Kelly, and it's one that sets up a lot of interesting possibilities going forward. The issue is a lot of fun to read, and is also an emotional one that will pull at your heartstrings a little bit. Between the writing, the artwork & the color it makes for an incredible issue. And it's an issue that I would definitely recommend reading sooner rather than later, because you are NOT going to want to miss the next issue. Read Full Review
With Justina Ireland at the helm, it truly seems like the future is bright for Peter Parker once more. This issue was filled with a vindicating amount of character maturity, depth, and struggle that never once felt forced, elevating the main story of 8 Deaths to a place where the stakes have grown more troubling for Peter on a personal level. With even better art in tow, this is this issue that proves the worth of this story and cements it as a genuine pace-changer for the title. Read Full Review
This was by far the best Spider-Man and Black Cat's dynamic has been written in a long time. Read Full Review
After a looong period of Spidey being a ping-pong ball, it's nice to see a clever, thoughtful, and proactive hero in action. Melnikov's art and the new costume are really attactive as well. Read Full Review
Amazing Spider-Man #63 continues the inventive and tense '8 Deaths of Spider-Man' storyline, but uneven pacing and minor art flaws hold it back from being a standout issue in the arc. Read Full Review
Amazing Spider-Man #63 pits Spider-Man against the third scion of Cyttorak for a time-hopping battle designed to crush Spidey's spirit. Justine Ireland joins the title to deliver an issue with a solid plot at a high level and strong personal moments between Peter and his circle of friends and family. Unfortunately, the main event gets shortchanged with a poor setup, poor resolution, and too little page space in favor of slice-of-life drama. Read Full Review
This arc has been creative in how Peter has to outsmart the villains rather than just punch them.
I especially liked the twist with this one and Peter using her abilities against her. its an enjoyable arc so far
I'll be honest. I liked this. A lot.
Maybe it's because of new writer who was doing something different? But damn, the writing here felt so much better.
Both Felicia and Shay were written well. I was actually invested and not just being tired of doing the same thing.
Ireland doesn't break new ground here. But she does something effective and has a great voice for Peter. Something that is more mature and not just sad miserable loser who shoots jokes from a machine gun like Kelly writes Peter.
Art was really nice too! A bit rough, but good enough.
Overall, I want Ireland to be new writer for ASM, not Kelly.
Plot
Spider-man faces Cyrios, she has the power to travel in time and makes him see all his past tragedies that Peter identifies as failures, she has control of his movements while she watches him suffer. Peter understands the temporal paradoxes and reminds himself that he hits her as Spider-man, and thus defeats her, but dies.
Peter feels that he does not achieve a good balance between Spider-Man and his responsibilities as Peter Parker, he asks Black Cat for advice and she tells him that he should take advantage of the joy of small moments and not wait for the great successes to enjoy later.
This installment does not show an advance in the story, it is like a bridge for what is coming, of course it closes with J more
It's a type of story that's been done before with Peter facing his biggest failures, but it's more entertaining than the last 2 issues were.
I was really close to actually liking this one but I had a hard realization at the end. This is not Peter Parker. No matter how down he gets, what is going on in his life, people dying, him struggling, whatever. He would never yell at May like he did. Add in the fact that there is still no real weight to any of his deaths and this still isn't a story worth it's time in reading yet. I am more engaged than I was previously but the fact that we still have several more issues before this arc wraps does not excite me. We're only on death three of eight. It's also incredibly derivative going back to Peter's "biggest failures" for no impact whatsoever. It didn't mean anything. That's worse than not having done it at all. Take these moments when Pe more
This felt like reading a crappy backup story in an old annual. The clunky dialogue and average 90s art don’t help either.
How much longer does Marvel think they can keep shoving this tired version of Peter down our throats? As long as we keep buying this book I guess. This was a train wreck of an issue. It's meaningless and vague to the point of exasperation. The whole deus ex machina moment almost had me stop reading right then and there. Fun and interesting art with terrible dialogue and an asinine plot equal a big miss/mess for what is supposed to be one of Marvel's flagship titles. I'm giving it an extra point for the one joke I liked. The inevitability of bed time line was cute.
Amazing Spider-Man is dead.
This was nothing but the Demon Cyrios dragging Peter through all of his tragic 'member moments throughout his life. The dialogue was even worse than the previous issue, no improvement at all. Was willing to give it another chance but I'm dropping ASM for good. I lasted 14 issues with Zeb Wells, this lasted me by issue #3. And I mean for good...
Not a single line of dialogue stuck with me, it all went out one ear and out the other, not a single panel had a decent action drawing or just good drawing at all.
The best part about this comic was page 12 or 13 where Peter fools Cyrios punches her down the floor, and she is shown laying down in a sexy position wearing lingerie with her as more
