    The Amazing Spider-Man: Torn #1 is a great start to this story with great art, an intriguing story, and good dialogue. There is definitely room for more, but it manages to leave room without feeling like anything is lacking. Read Full Review

    In the end, Spider-Man: Torn #1 is a bold but uneven return for J. Michael Straczynski. It is a story rich with introspection, carried by a deep understanding of Peter Parkers emotional architecture, yet undermined by a sluggish pace and inconsistent visual delivery. For all its missteps, however, it remains a work of genuine intentone that seeks not to glorify the past, but to dissect it. Whether that dissection resonates will depend entirely on the readers willingness to confront the same uneasy truths that have always defined Spider-Man himself. Read Full Review
