Avenging Spider-Man #18 is a brilliantly realized journey that continues to ask some tough but nonetheless deep questions regarding the latest iteration of everyone's favorite wall-crawling menace. Highly recommended. Read Full Review

The story by Chris Yost almost feels like window dressing against Checchetto strutting his stuff " it's quickly paced, lots of action, but the resolution is pretty convenient and the lesson learned is pretty flat. Still, when a book looks this good, it's hard not to enjoy the sparks that fly with Avenging Spider-Man. Read Full Review

Seeing Marco Checchetto name attached is ALWAYS a good sign and as usual he brings another gorgeous book to the table.Sure there are small things that I could nitpick, like how emotions on Spider-Mans face are nonexistent but in the grand scheme of things does that really matter? No because on Electros return to Earth as hes shouting and the whimsical nature of Thor as hes blows Electro off as a threat to him makes up for it tenfold. Lets also not ignore that the use of Rachelle Rosenbergs colouring as Electro and Thor do battle tie the bow on a stellar package. Read Full Review

This issue benefits heavily from Marco Checcetto's artwork. After spending so much time with Punisher and the seedier side of the Marvel Universe, it's refreshing to see Checchetto dabble with bigger, bolder superhero stories. He handles the action well, and his slightly ethereal style proves to be a solid match for the visual tone of the Superior era. Read Full Review

While there are some small problems with Thor and his characterization in the first part, the rest is very solid, with some good action, a solid plot and some amazing art and colors that makes this issue really worth it. The team of Yost, Checchetto and Rosenberg can stay as long as they like on this title if they keep on doing issues like these. Read Full Review

A tight plot is one thing, but some nice pencils are something else entirely. I think it's only a matter of time before Marco Checchetto gets some real high-profile assignments (not that a Spidey book isn't high profile, but you know what I mean), as the guy can tell a story and he does it with style. Avenging Spider-Man #18 isn't gonna change the world, and it isn't groundbreaking, but it's about as good as your basic superhero beat 'em up stories get. If you're reading Superior Spider-Man but not Avenging, you've been missing out on some fun, self-contained team-up stories. What are you waiting for? Get reading! Read Full Review

At least that's what you think until the last scene. Doc returns to his underwater base once more and this time puts a captured Electro next to his captured Sandman. It would almost appear that he is once again creating his very own Sinister Six. To what end? Only time and another ‘few' issues will tell. Read Full Review

Avenging Spider-Man has become a great companion to Superior Spidey, and in many ways, it far surpasses it. Chris Yost once again handles Doc Ock with great care and Marco Checchettos art is pretty darn cool. This title is highly recommended theres more to this story than silly team-ups and corny quips.

This title has really been quite fun. The three issues to this point have been entertaining and individually packaged as strong standalone stories, but with larger undercurrents sweeping throughout. While some of the conclusions, including the one in "Avenging Spider-Man" #18 are standard-issue comic book wrap-ups, Yost is delivering a great read for fans while exploring and introducing aspects of the Marvel Universe to readers.

This was a nice little one and done story.  The story was simple and easy to understand, and the team-up between Spidey and Thor didn't feel forced or anything.  If I had a complaint it would have been that Thor came across as really arrogant,(He is arrogant... it's part of his charm!) and was kind of out of line by calling Spidey disrespectful after the battle...  I can't really recall Spidey doing anything that could have been considered disrespectful. (He told Thor to get his hands off him when Thor touches his shoulder and said he wasn't worried about Electro. BOOM!) Thor was the one who was disrespecting Spidey!  Besides that very minor quibble though, no complaints here. Read Full Review
