The Amazing Spider-Man Issue 4 pushes everything to extremes. The story perfectly culminates every element of Joe Kelly's run so far. Read Full Review
The Amazing Spider-Man #4is filled with heart, as the joyous highs and lows of Peter Parker's life resurrect him from the edge of collapse, both metaphorically and literally. Kelly and Larraz leave their stamp on the character with each issue, things only getting better as we blaze forward towards the end of their first arc. Read Full Review
Amazing Spider-Man #4 has great art and great action but wastes a lot of time on flashbacks of Peter's youth for no Earthly reason. Joe Kelly's clunky script about a Hobgoblin plot to poison New York has some merit if he would develop and stay on it long enough to let it play out. Conversely, Pepe Larraz's art is spectacular and too good for this story. The score below is mostly for the art. Read Full Review
I always loved Larraz's artwork, but WOW... this issue is on a whole new level of greatness. Spidey's body looks so amazing, I could gobble up these pages all day long. I do have some minor qualms with the story (poisoned cola, really? Plus, the whole teen rebellion thing feels somewhat unnatural), but overall it's a great series so far.
I actually loved this. Like wth, this was a banger issue and this whole arc has been really good. Are we actually getting back?
I hope this sentiment ages well. I really do.
