And now…the X-Men! Annie just received an invitation to attend Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters. Guest-Starring Wolverine, Cyclops, Jean Grey, and Professor X!
This comic hit's all the high notes. Buy this book. Buy this series. Then buy it in hardback. This kind of book is what Marvel Comics needs right now more than ever. Read Full Review
The story isgripping and moves at a perfect pace, the art is fantastic and attentiongrabbing, there really is very little not to like found inside the pages ofthis title. This is how a Spider book should look and feel and I wish the main AmazingSpider-Man title would take a few notes from its B title counterpart. Read Full Review
Gerry Conway and Ryan Stegman have taken the perfect Spider-fan comfort food and added just the right amount of spice. Read Full Review
Another great issue, which kickstarted a new arc, with the X-Men in the mix. Read Full Review
Hey, you got your X-Men in my Spider-Man! Gerry Conway introduces his version of Xavier's School for Gifted Youngster. While Amazing Spider-Man: Renew Your Vows #6 might be frustrating for those who wanted a laser focus on the Spider-Family, the X-Men tour does wonders to build the world around the characters. Read Full Review
Combined with a fun twist on Annie's precognitive powers interacting with Cerebro, The Amazing Spider-Man: Renew Your Vows #6 is a strong story for the Parkers, but is also a great team up between the Spider-family and classic X-Men. Read Full Review
Sometimes, this timeline is simply more compelling than the one Marvel is offering in its prime universe. This is one of those occasions. Read Full Review
This book always brings a smile to my face. There was a lot to like here, from the old school X-Men being, well, heroes, to the interactions between Annie and the X-Men. I appreciate how Conway is managing to show how things have gone slightly differently in this universe, what with the old Logan-Jean-Scott love triangle actually wrapped up pretty definitively here. Easily one of the best comics Marvel is putting out right now.
Yes please
Annie at the Xavier School? The Parkers don't agree on it, and Magneto is gonna have something to say on the subject too. The two parts of this book - Parker family adventure and AU X-Men world-building - aren't quite fused seamlessly. The narrative wobbles back and forth between the two goals. The result is a cut above the ordinary, but the joints could have been sanded and smoothed a little better to make this truly epic. Ryan Stegman's linework looks a little rushed but his layouts are impeccable.
This was the last issue pulled for me after I decided to drop this title, and, lo and behold, I really liked it. It's fun to see this old school, but different iteration of the X-Men. The whole concept of this book has kind of lost me, with Peter's whole family super-powered, but I'll probably try to get the rest of this X-Men storyline.
It's nice. Heavy on the nostalgia. Great art!!
