Well, it's not quite on par with Gerry Conway’s, but this team absolutely understands what this book needs in order to be good. As long as we keep getting things like those talks from Spider-Dad and Spider-Mom brought up by simple, never convoluted plots for our heroes saving the day, I’ll be happy to support this book. Jody, Nick, Ruth: keep it up. This is a production I can always recommend to fans of the original run. Read Full Review

Overall, I'm enjoying the "8 Years Later" arc. Teenage Annie can win over any reader in a manner of panels. The issue also has a heartfelt Spider-Dad talk that really shows how much heart is behind this story. So, great issue. Read Full Review

There's still some real potential here, and it's nice to see the Lizard make his peace with the Spider-Man family. It was less thrilling to see the reveal of the mystery villain, but I'm willing to stick with this book for now to see where it goes from here. Read Full Review

Well when you think you will read a story without any surprise.
The fact that Lezard ask for help wasn't with the cliffhanger. And what they find was link to the cover, so no surprise here.
And the villain ... Well another Doctor somebody/nobody ... Weeeellll !
So a pretty good read about what it is to be a heroes. Yeah we follow enemies sometime even if it's a trap at the end because maybe like in here some innocent are in jeopardy. I really liked that part.

Cover - Link to the issue and nice (But please change MJ costume) 2/2
Writing - A fun reading. 3/3
Arts - I'm not a fan of Roche art. He do what he can and that ok with some fun, but this ongoing deserve a better artist. The only really really good stuff was the cliffhanger. But maybe more fore the surprise than the art. 1.5/3
Feelings - When I think we will not have something more. Now the following issue have to not been disappointing. 2/2 more

The Lizard leads the Spider-family to a mystery villain. After two issues of questionable work on Peter and MJ, Jody Houser suddenly reveals that she's AMAZING at writing Annie. Her voice is more engaging, her insights are fresher, her story is genuinely interesting. Based on the creative team's performance so far, I'm hoping that future stories de-emphasize the parents A LOT and focus on Annie. She even picks up a long-term nemesis here. This issue is exactly the burst of quality I needed to stay interested in this series.

Needs a better artist.

Lackluster story and the art isn't the best either. This series hasn't been the same since the timeskip.
