SPINNING OUT OF AMAZING SPIDER-MAN!
The journalist must speak truth to power-whether or not it's wielded responsibly. Helmed by Peter Parker's mentor, Robbie Robertson, the Daily Bugle staff is at last chasing stories that matter. And in a city under Mayor Wilson Fisk, keeping the public informed is as essential as it is dangerous. Weaving between events in AMAZING SPIDER-MAN and DAREDEVIL, Mat Johnson (Hellblazer Special: Papa Midnite, Incognegro, Loving Day) and Mack Chater (BLACK PANTHER AND THE CREW, Briggs Land) are following a lead into Kingpin and Spider-Man's past that will change the way you look at the webslinger now, and as his

Jan 29, 2020Daily Bugle isn't entirely necessary but at the very least, it's a solid-enough read to warrant a return to the second issue when it comes out next month. Read Full Review

Jan 29, 2020The Amazing Spider-Man: Daily Bugle #1 is rough. The best thing it has going for it is the dialogue, but that doesn’t really mean anything if the characters aren’t talking about anything interesting. There is no sense of coherence in the art, and you’ll find something on most pages that will break your immersion, whether it’s in the pencils or the colors. This is one miniseries I would not recommend you commit to. Read Full Review

This was pretty good, I think. It's not amazing or anything, but it's intriguing enough. I'm glad Peter is around, at least. Not a lot to say.

I'm interested enough to read another issue, but Peter Parker looked like Troy Aikman and that's weird.

I... don't know. Some of the bits here were quite enjoyable (Spidey's scenes in particular), but overall this was a bit too much all over the place. I'll keep on reading this but I really really hope it improves.

It's an average comic, but it could have been a good comic with a little assertive editing to force Mat Johnson to tie the plot threads together properly. Also: "Hey, Web-Head, you know how you can hear it when people don't pronounce your hyphen? I feel the same way when people stick an inappropriate 'Y' in my code name." Respect the "Boi" in Koi Boi, Spiderman!

Eh this was pretty whatever, tbh. Not exactly a thrill, and the art doesn't help.
