Nov 08, 2026This was a satisfying conclusion to the arc, though it felt more like a stalemate than an outright victory. Ravage is still out there, but he’s lost some of his advantage now that Peter knows how to fight him and has a better idea of how his powers work. Read Full Review

Oct 28, 2026A fantastic issue that continues to push the story in a direction we haven’t seen in a long time, if ever. Joe Kelly pens one of the best Spider-Man stories you’ll read, and together with artwork that continues to impress. This is an issue that you cannot afford to miss out on. Read Full Review

Nov 01, 2026Amazing Spider-Man #1002 is the kind of energetic, emotionally charged superhero comic that keeps me coming back to Peter Parker. Kelly gives us a personal villain, Larraz demolishes the action sequences, and Blee and Caramagna make every page feel like a Marvel blockbuster. A few captions overexplain and the emotional fallout could use more room, but the heart is there. Nobody messes with Aunt May without answering to your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man.

Oct 28, 2026Amazing Spider-Man #1002 delivers a visually spectacular finale to Spider-Man's battle with Ravage, even if the resolution leaves something to be desired. Joe Kelly continues to excel at character work, particularly in the heartfelt opening with Uncle Ben and Aunt May and the surprisingly touching interaction between Norman Osborn and Gwen Stacy. Ravage's memory manipulation adds a psychological edge to the action, while Pepe Larraz delivers some of the most impressive Spider-Man artwork on the stands. Unfortunately, Peter's decision to trust Ravage feels unearned, and the abrupt connection to Armageddon makes the ending feel more like setup than a satisfying conclusion. There's still plenty to love here, especially with Kelly and Larraz operating at such a high level. Read Full Review

Kelly locked in. Larraz stole the show. Amazing stuff.
I really liked this issue and this storyline in general. Everything here just clicks and I'm excited what happenes next. I liked that Spider-Gwen was included here, it showed that events of #999 were not forgotten.
And post-Armageddon is here. The amount of synergy I have seen for Avengers and ASM in solicits has me excited. I know, I shouldn't trust them. But after reading this issue, I'm feeling good and feeling hopeful.+ Like • Comment -

The art is a delight, but the battle between Peter and Cormac was resolved in a way that feels unsatisfying.

Is no one going to mention it... ultra spider sense... that lets Peters body move automatically... it was fun in Dragon Ball Super but this feels so stupid. I can also go back to older spiderman comics and dhow how spider sense already worked this way. Writers forgot about it, then bring it back, copy Toriyama, and just continue to write bad dpiderman comics.
The srt is great. Points gor that. The action is good. The writing has just become so dumb. -
