THE 8 DEATHS OF SPIDER-MAN CONTINUES! Spider-Man has faced four Scions and is running out of extra lives. This issue's scion, CYRA, represents the very power of Death Itself and makes Spider-Man watch everything he loves die. Can Spider-Man possibly withstand this punishment?
Rated T
FINAL POINT: Joe Kelly pens a very compelling issue that pulls at your heart strings from the get-go. Additionally, a twist at the end makes for an interesting development that should keep readers coming back for the next few issues. This is definitely an issue you're going to want to pick up this week. Read Full Review
Amazing Spider-Man #65 takes a bold narrative turn, emphasizing emotional depth and existential themes over traditional action. While the repetition of the deaths dampens the story's momentum, the issue offers a compelling look at Spider-Man's greatest strength: his ability to persevere in the face of despair.

Amazing Spider-Man #65 pits Spidey against the next scion of Cyttorak in a challenge that threatens to break his spirit rather than his body. Joe Kelly creates a basketful of Easter Eggs about future outcomes that may or may not happen, wrapped in an emotionally weighty script, and Cafu's artwork is first class. That said, the rules, or lack thereof, for the challenge are getting ridiculous. Read Full Review
Plot
As soon as Spider-Man defeats Callix without having to die, the sister of the Offspring of Inevitable Death named Cyra appears, who presents him with the new test, touching a sphere where he has to witness the death of all his loved ones in uncertain futures, but Peter has suffered so many tragedies and personal losses that he manages to tolerate it.
Peter escapes this test, but his will is broken and he tells Doctor Strange that he is going to give up these tests, but apparently he cannot do that.
This installment continues to lower the exciting and dizzying narrative pace to focus on Peter's mental health.
Art
Cafu provides his hyperreal art with a mesmerizing subtlety in his strokes, formid more
Yeah that was pretty good. Kelly finally wrote a good issue of ASM in a loong time.
Cafu's art was the highlight tho.
