K-23 reviewed Amazing Spider-Man #55 Nov 18, 2024
Hands down the best written issue of this awful run by Wells as he actually took an issue seriously and when he added comedy, it was actually funny. This felt like his writing on Hellions were I really enjoyed his work which initially had me excited he was given ASM. Hopefully he finally starts taking this run somewhat seriously for the remaining arc of his tenure.

This was, how can I say, soulless.
Heartless in the end is another pathetic villain who was defeated in the same pathetic way as Blockbuster. At least Taylor recognizes that no one will remember this "big" villain.

This issue was pretty revealing to how dragged out this run has been and how hollow some of these plotlines really were. This conclusion to the story felt rushed for a series that spun it's wheels on the Heartless plot with some cheesy moments. Still a decent issue but just disappointing for a writer I I used to love. His latest stuff hasn't been up to form to what he did in Injustice and the side more
