wow... 43 jokes in this issue alone, and... the comedy wasn't there for you? wow, you and I are very different.
• Spider-Man and the Human Torch are following a trail of terrifying tech, and the trail takes them to... WILSON FISK?!
• The former Kingpin of Crime is still quite a force to be reckoned with...but what is HIS connection to all this?
Rated T
With a plethora of jokes that never fall flat and consistently pleasing artwork, this issue proves that the third time is the charm. Read Full Review
Three issues in, it's pretty clear that Chip Zdarsky's Spider-Man is a much more comedic take than we normally get with Spidey. But not all of the humor hits the mark. Read Full Review
Three issues in and this new Spider-Man comic is starting to feel a little too wibbly wobbly. Read Full Review
Peter Parker: The Spectacular Spider-Man #3 delivers the fun that fans expect from a Spider-Man comic. Chip Zdarsky and Adam Kubert team-up to create a story moves forward and never slows down, even in the dialogue heavy pages. Though there are some problems with how Teresa Parker's backstory, it did not get in the way of how entertaining it was to see Spider-Man, Human Torch and Teresa go up gainst Kingpin.

Adam Kubert's art carries yet another puzzling script penned by Chip Zdarsky. If the previous two issues have not sold you on the third volume of Peter Parker: The Spectacular Spider-Man then this one is not going to win you over. Read Full Review
This was an ok issue. I really liked the art. The story was decent, nothing we haven't seen before. I always like me some Kingpin.
Some nitpicks but still a solid chapter. Teresa and Torch are good to see.
I enjoy Peter Parker, but never enough to really collect his series. This series ended up in my pull list by mistake I guess so I gave it a shot. While my feelings for Peter have not really changed I do enjoy Chip Zdarsky's writing. There is humor and old school fun to the story. The art team does a good job of displaying action. This is a Peter Parker title that has won me over for now.
The comedy that made me fall in love with the first two issues was mostly absent here. Instead the focus is on this Kingpin plot which isn't particularly original. Kubert's art is mostly pretty good though some panels appear messy. I'm probably going to drop this for now unless I hear about a massive improvement in the future.
Silly Spider-Man confronts a super-smug Kingpin; hijinks ensue. Chip Zdarsky is putting comedy first; that's okay in theory. In fact, turning Spidey into a buffoon and drowning him in poorly-characterized guest stars is a *very bad* way to build this title. (Weaving an over-complex plot for a straightforward funnybook is a mistake, too.) Adam Kubert's art is great at telling the story, but it's also clearly crafted with minimum effort. It's all too easy to imagine him reading the script and deciding around page four that this issue doesn't deserve his A-game.
What the hell's the point of the "Insulting someone about their weight is the same as leveling those insults at others who are larger!" line? It's damn sure not funny and it more
43 attempts at humor on 18 pages. this writer would clearly prefer to be a stand-up comedian than a writer. utter garbage. I wish I knew how to format text here, because: joke count per page
