MOST WANTED Part 4
An oversized anniversary epic, told the only way your pre-eminent pals in the Spidey-Office know how - in the Mighty Marvel Manner! For weeks, the Tinkerer has been launching a campaign against his do-gooder brother, the Mason, and Spidey's nearly met his maker more than once trying to stop their sibling rivalry! With a little help from a tech-heavy team of Marvel heroes, Spider-Man takes the fight directly to Tinkerer! But Tinkerer's got tech of his own...and it's out of this world!

I like how exciting and fun this issue was to read. It's classic comic book storytelling and it works. Read Full Review
A great issue that commemorates the series' tricentennial. Read Full Review
Even as the line faces a shakeup, it's obvious that Spider-Man is still in very good hands. Read Full Review
There was much to like about this book but it gets weighed down by the meh. Art wise it was great where the story was just kind of wrapped to get you to the next one. There is a decent and cute Spidey and Black Cat short story as a backup but nothing of large note. As with many milestone issues, this book comes with array of variant and special covers that rate from okay to stunning and those are always cool even if they are gimmicky. I dipped my toe in for this one but hard to say if I will be back next month. Guess we will just have to wait and see. Till next time True Readers! Read Full Review
Spectacular Spider-Man #300 isn't a bad read. It has enough fun parts to ward of the boredom that can come from the exposition. The fact that it doesn't even conclude its story is insulting and could justifiably kill it for your average reader. However, given the current state of Amazing Spider-Man, not bad is in short supply for the Web-Slinger. This is far form a must-buy, especially at $4.99, but I can recommend it to anyone looking for a decent Spider-Man read. Read Full Review
Man #300 is a disappointing anniversary issue, missing a lot of what has made the book work in this run. Read Full Review
Spectacular Spider-Man #300 is far from the anniversary special this hero deserves. This issue embodies too many of the recurring flaws with this run, as it focuses on building empty spectacle rather than telling the earnest, character-driven stories Chip Zdarsky does so well. The excellent backup tale only highlights how big a miss the main story is. Read Full Review
Peter Parker: The Spectacular Spider-Man #300 has so many problems that it is hard to find things to enjoy. We are beyond the point that the Teresa Parker storyline has outstayed its welcome. Adding in last minute character development for Tinkerer and a new threat in the form of the Vedomi did nothing to help Chip Zdarsky story. Now to see it extended by using time travel it is extremely hard to recommend Spectacular Spider-Man to anyone. The faster this storyline is ended the better it will be for everyone involved.

Peter Parker: The Spectacular Spider-Man #300 offers a mildly amusing story but doesn't bring the substance Marvel readers are looking for. Read Full Review
Spectacular Spider-Man continues to miss the mark continuing a story involving the Tinkerer for about 8 issues to long. The title is crowded with guest stars who never go away and what I thought was supposed to be a more grounded Spider-Man title has turned into Aliens taking over the world … I'm out until a creative change.

Mixed feelings on this one...I don't care about Theresa Parker...this story has been going on forever and won't end...really, the Tinkerer? Fuck, man...at the same time, even though it was brief, I enjoyed T'Challa's appearance, and I liked the Jameson parts a bit. Kubert's art was solid. The Martin cover is excellent. It was pretty good. I probably would have given this a 6.5-7.0, though, if not for the cover gallery, which was annoying in the fact that it gave us postage stamp sized cover images, but also brought back floods of nostalgia for this 43 year old Spidey collector...one of the very first issues I remember buying, #91, with a cover of Spidey and the Black Cat fighting the Blob (June 84). Looking at these covers reminded me about more
I really enjoyed this book. It had fun moments, it had action, it was a solid comic book.
#300 invites us onto an oversized crazy train of big battles and audacious plot developments that double and redouble the stakes. The characterization is superb; I'm particularly loving Jonah's new role as a hesitant accomplice in Spider-shenanigans. The actual mechanics of the plot are a little shaky; I feel like I'm being asked to "play along with the wackiness" a bit more than I should. When I do buy the ticket, though, the ride is awfully fun.
