Overall, this has been a pretty solid story arcthough not particularly groundbreaking in terms of original ideas. Seasoned comic readers will likely have seen similar beats before. That said, the execution has been strong. The artistic portrayal of Spidey's hallucinations was a highlight, offering both visual flair and a glimpse into a lesser-known part of Peter Parker's past.

The Amazing Spider-Man #4 masterfully blends psychological introspection with visceral superhero action, delivering one of the most inventive and emotionally raw issues of the run so far.

It's a standout chapter that pushes Spider-Man into new territory while honoring the character's emotional legacy. Read Full Review

A surreal brawl inside Peter Parker's psyche, Amazing Spider-Man #4 is bold, messy, and emotionally raw. The art slaps, the writing hits hard, and the story pulls you under like a fever dream you can't shake off. Read Full Review

The Hobgoblin makes his evil presence felt with another superb issue. Kelly unloads on the emotional baggage with his writing. Larraz and Gracia construct stunning images covering a wide spectrum. This creative team & story simply does not miss! 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 is Joe Kelly and Pepe Larraz at their best as a creative team. This issue really showcases what we can really expect from them now that they have established their direction for the series. 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

The new issue focuses far too much on flashbacks/memories without giving the reader any reason why these flashbacks/memories matter to the present day storyline. Read Full Review

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.

4 entertaining issues of ASM in a row. It's not anything that's out of this world, but I don't feel mad reading it. It's actually entertaining!!
