The art and focus on Norman's feelings about being good make for a solid issue with The Amazing Spider-Man #14, but there's definitely room for improvement, particularly when it comes to Ben and his motivations. Read Full Review

Peter is going to have a big mess to clean up when he comes home, but I can honestly say that for the first time in a long time Im not only excited to read Amazing Spider-Man, but Im actually intrigued by what comes next. Between this and Peters Buck Rogers stint in space, Spider-Man is amazing again. Read Full Review

Amazing Spider-Man #14 keeps the series' momentum alive with a deft balance of character depth and spectacle. Joe Kelly continues to weave a web of redemption, rivalry, and identity as Norman Osborn wrestles with his need to be Spider-Man, and Ben Reilly struggles to reclaim purpose alongside Hallow's Eve. With stunning action from Ed McGuinness and Todd Nauck, and heartfelt introspection beneath the chaos, this issue captures both the heart and high-flying energy that define Spider-Man at his best.

While a pleasant space to live in,The Amazing Spider-Man #14continues to spin the wheel on both Norman and Ben Reily's respective character progressions as they live out the life of a man who both built, and destroyed, their lives. Although incredibly interesting at its core, there's only so much surface level teasing one can take before their interest slips into boredom. Read Full Review

Amazing Spider-Man #14 has killer looks and nowhere to go. The art team deserves a bonus, but every time the story starts to gain steam, it slams into a wall of pointless substitutions and unearned emotional beats. With Ben and Norman faking their way through someone elses life, and Captain Kintsugi dropped in like last-minute garnish on a half-baked dish, all the issue really proves is that sometimes, even Marvel icons can put the mask on upside-down.

Amazing Spider-Man #14 drives home how much the story with Norman Osborn and Ben Reilly as leads is just filler content. It is a story to pad out this direction for the series. It is unfortunate because there are elements with how the Spider-Man family and Aunt May react to Peter Parker's MIA status that work. Unfortunately the leads Joe Kelly and Spider-Man's editorial have chosen for this story aren't working. Read Full Review

A bit more mixed issue for me, but only because I want to know Ben's deal and I can't wait to find that out.

Otherwise, it's really good. Kelly's writing for Norman is amazing and I really liked the other cast too. Janice especially trying to help Peter was a heartwarming scene.

But yeah, everything else I like, Nauck and McGuinness work once again as a pair, but I want to find more about Ben. It's still a really enjoyable read and I imagine I will enjoy this even more in trade.

Sorry, not a fan of McGuiness or Nauck. Settle on one %$%$§%$§ artist, Marvel - and make it Larraz.

All over the place yet barely doing anything - never thought I'd prefer the Peter in Space story but at least we get Peter there as Ben and Norman fart around until Peter returns to Earth
