This gets a 7 because Kelly/McGuinness tie it all up nicely and the art is FANTASTIC. Although the journey was very frustrating because why on earth did we start solid with Kelly/McGuinness with a clear idea then we bastardized it for 4 issues having Peter quitting yet again questioning all life AGAIN while shoving the X-Men into for no reason. Being with Black Cat then NOT then YES AGAIN. Shay was a core character then a side chick then back to normal...WTF are we doing here. I think the Spidey office editors need restructuring to bring some fresh ideas and better management.

This series should have been Joe Kelly with Ed McGuiness for 8 issues with no side dishes wasting time then maybe it would work because what the editors did here was just bad. This issue tries hard to over-correct with some clichés but Ed McGuinness back on art killing it somewhat bring it back from death "8 deaths of ASM issues" although that last page was way too corny.

Christos Gage is different and it took a few minutes to adjust to his writing but the story has nothing. We started the first few issues so well then we're here and it sucks. Mark Buckingham's art is great. What a waste.

Not going right at all. I see what they want to do but the delivery and structure is all wrong. Then the art has some good but after McGuiness/Cafu it's a high bar to follow.

Downgrade and just lacking from writing/editing/art. People are trying I can see that but this fails.

Great issue despite the forced ending that we knew was coming a mile away. Still a great old concept done different. Cafu is perfect!

Nothing ground breaking but it's just enough to not make it boring. Hard to change an already known outcome but Justina does well.

Justina Ireland does a seamless transition and writes an nice one. I enjoyed her take on this story and it works. Never heard of Gleb Melnikov before so first time seeing and it's great!

This arc has been creative in how Peter has to outsmart the villains rather than just punch them.

I especially liked the twist with this one and Peter using her abilities against her. its an enjoyable arc so far

After reading Zeb Wells run and taking a break from that disappointment, I started here with a clean slate knowing full well that Peter Parker is stunted growth wise and is forever going to be stuck in a loop. I also read USM so that gives me all the juice of what a proper ASM book should be. After that BIG caveat lol, I have to say I enjoyed this for what it is separated from what came before and accepting Joe Kelly lives in 1996 so it's fine. The premise is a throw back to comics of old. Ed McGuinness's art is amazing and makes the experience enjoyable. Top notch art team! more

Great nonstop action train from Joshua Williamson. Enjoyable old school with fresh tweaks. Is it revolutionary? NO! it doesn't need to be. It knows itself well and delivers exactly on what it promises. Tom Reilly's art is bang on fantastic and "Eisner Winner" Jordie Bellaire colored it the heck outta of it.

Fun and enjoyable old school action suspense comic book with 80s/90s flair that's worth reading from Williamson. Goes by way too quick but worth the ride even if we already where we're headed. Tom Reilly kills it on art. He delivered fantastic levels of action and detailed figures and vehicles and scenery. Jordie colors the HECK out of it.

Enjoyable albeit an abrupt end to this run. High promise and potential that slowly went away as the story progressed but JMS knows enough to still deliver a good story with weird elements.

Cap doing Cap things in whatever environment he finds himself in but the antagonist is an else worlds being that has no meaning in 616. Fun and engaging but nothing spectacular. Magno is good even if some of his figures are a bit off and puffing their chest a bit too much but the details are nice.

It's not anything special but the art is wonderful from Jesus Saiz as always. Straczynski isn't writing a once in a lifetime tale but a run of the mill Cap/Steve Rogers story that reads nice.

Just enough by Johns to make you keep reading. While full of plenty of cliches this still needs to be a TV series. Gary Frank makes it all glow with special coloring from Anderson.

Great origin story with enough interesting angles and storytelling to suck you in. Gary Frank is fantastic as always. The facial expressions alone are splendid.

The writing is just done in a manner that even when you know what's coming it reads well. I need this TV series adapted Netflix come on. Paul Pelletier's art is great and detailed and a worthy fill-in art until Gary Frank comes back.

Solid issue. Geiger never lets you down. I really didn't like Nate at first, but every issue has improved his character.

Nice good Geoff Johns writing here. Paul Pelletier and Drew Hennessy on art are great but nobody like Gary Frank.

Even with the different artist, Geoff Johns writing and dialogue really keeps this series engaging.
