I rarely ever reread a comic. Havent in years in fact. Read this maybe like 4-5 years ago and reread today. Still as great as the first time. Such a cool story

Really loved this issue’s introspection. So glad he got his microscope back

Amazing Spider-Man #290

By: David Michelinie, John Romita Jr.

With the menace of the Hobgoblin finished, Spider-Man's life is back on track. Not even the Preserver can ruin Spidey's renewed dedication to be Spider-Man. But what of the wall-crawler's alter-ego, Peter Parker? His life now seems more meaningless than ever!

Good story but looking back in hindsight to the inner monologues of the Rose and Hobgoblin it just makes no sense

In confessional, Richard Fisk recounts his rise as the masked Rose to a priest. The legacy of Ned Leeds, and his stint as Hobgoblin, continues to haunt Spider-Man.

Good end to this 3-parter but wouldve been way better if it was 5 issues or something like that. Way too condensed in this issue. The Rose has been a major highlight of the past ~35 issues

GANG WAR PART 3 Is Daredevil in danger? The war on the streets revs up, as The Rose makes a disastrous choice while escaping police. MJ delivers a message to Spider-Man all too late. The NYPD may be involved, but are they enough to quell the violence?
