Spider-Man is a lot like Star Wars. You will have a loud minority of vocal fans who will never be satisfied.
What a waste. But at least it's over.
Everything about the writing of this series was just so... wrong, bad or poorly done. There really aren't ideas here I like. And I like the execution even less.
Only the art saves this from being a 1.
Wedding bells are finally ringing for Batman and Catwoman! As our story concludes, the lovers prepare to take the next steps in their lives together by trading everlasting vows. The Bat/Cat wedding is here, and knowing Bruce and Selina, it'll be anything but conventional. You won't want to miss this final chapter of Tom King's Batman epic!
I'm still enjoying this series, but it is becoming a little random here and there. However, there is still enough here to enjoy.

Well... Hahahaha ok ok! I have to say I kinda dig this. Tombstone literally made The Rose look like a giant wimp. And Peter did his dirty work without even knowing it. Romita got back to his best after a bad issue and this took me back to the best JMS stories (with Spidey hanging from the ceiling and kicking The Rose's goons right in the face). I'm kinda lost as to how Tombstone was able to get Spmore

I just love the job that Wells is doing, is amazing. Besides the controversies taht this run is having, I'm happy with it. The plot is good, I like Tombstone, Wells writes him very well and he's a good villain, and what a plot twist! I didn't see that coming, which is difficult in a world where everything has been told. The other characters are good too, specially Peter and the couple. The tensionmore

@Daredevil HEY! You're right but shut up! ~Sincerely, a Star Wars (and Spidey) fan that is totally not a psychopath.
Now this, this is what Spider-Man is supposed to be: pushing past extraordinary odds to wrestle with two crises in two parts of the city because maybe he can't win, but he definitely can't give up — only to find that even when he wins he loses. And the twist with Tombstone is classic Zeb Wells, no one does villains like he does. JRJR has his good moments and his bad moments, but he holds it togemore

"something something, this comic sucks because MJ and Peter not married and OMD not undone, something something"
In all honesty, this was great. Like really great. Wells' run has been growing on me and this proves that he could have what it takes to makes this truly memorable, in a good way.

@Federico Liguori - chill, that was just a joke about the reddit/twitter polemics that have been happening lately, some fans of spiderman gets mad about everything and that's just a fact, even Chip Zdarsky said that.
MOST fans of Spider-Man get mad about just about everything. Stuff they want happens? Complaints. Stuff never changes complaints. That least this is new. Somewhat. And yeah, absolutely we don't have nearly enough info after 4 issues to be infuriated.
Bruce Wayne's difficult journey to become Batman continues as he travels to Northern Canada seeking a mastery of weapons and marksmanship from a legendary hunter. Bruce's companion, however, will reveal a lethal secret that could jeopardize the entire mission...
There was no reason for this mini-series to be as good as it was. What a great finale. I hope with this, Marvel can bring Ben back as himself, not as wannabe-Kaine.

So this anthology issue is the best boon dc has made since the court of owls? Is what your telling me?
Just because it says pride on it, doesn't make it the greatest comic ever written. My god people. Use logic during your reviews.
DC's 2022 celebration kicks off with more stories, more characters, and more pride than ever before!

Ya Tom kings two issue double date with Clark and Lois was probably the best two issues of his run. Which should prove why I make fun of his run the way I do.... And Batman imposter is not better then court of owls, the white knight I might give you on part but not better and the sequel while gorgeous isn't as good as 1, endgame not better then court three jokers was beautiful but a better story... no just no.
I thought Imposter was incredibly middling and was disappointed in hindsight to realize it really was similar to the movie's tone.
Surely better than Issue 2, but I'm still extremely confused. How is Peter locked by simple handcuffs? He should be able to completely destroy them and kick all of Tombstone's goons in the face. I liked Lonnie's memory tale (and I think it's a new side of it that was never shown) and the glimpse into Randy and Janice's vacation. But that's it. Romita's art is the worst I've seen since the first Ismore

You have every right and reason to have mixed feelings on the series. I certainly do but Daredevil is never wrong when he says you don't HAVE to read it. No one is making you and if you don't like what you are reading, stop. Not saying you should nor that you would but it can be good advice. Or even take a break and see if the story is better digested together instead of parsed out month to month. Getting the feeling this is being written for trades (which in itself is frustrating).
We might not see real development for a while. I hope we do and I hope that you end up enjoying it more. Same goes for myself. Fingers crossed.
It's just so good. I'm loving this series so much.
THE MOMENT YOU'VE BEEN WAITING FOR!
You've watched and read in terror for months, as Dylan Brock has fulfilled his destiny and become the new VENOM! But what about his old man? What about the ORIGINAL Venom? WHAT ABOUT EDDIE BROCK?!
Your answers start here, True Believer. If you buy no other issue of VENOM in 2022, YOU MUST BUY THIS ONE!
It's fun. Just... fun. And that's all I want to be.

What an odd choice for cover and synopsis. Yes, they have been misleading before, but I can't remember a last time when a character appeared on the cover of ASM and didn't appear at all in the comic itself, or had nothing to do with the story.

• The best couple in comics is done?
• You aren't going to believe what is happening in this volume of AMAZING SPIDER-MAN
That I do agree with. Giving this comic a 1-3 because of misleading cover doesn't make sense, since otherwise this run hasn't been that bad actually. Nice change of pace compared to Spencer's run.
I haven't read the run yet. I'm gonna follow this in trades (although I will be picking up ASM 900). But yeah giving this comic a bad review because of a misleading cover and solicit is dumb. It's also dumb to judge this run's quality two issues in whereas things are just getting started.
It's a crazy ride. But a very enjoyable one. With great art.
