ELEMENTARY debuted last issue and continues on her hero journey alongside BOTH SPIDER-MEN! But that journey is going to be rocky with TWO ELECTROS and...is that a giant Lizard? Uh-oh.

I haven’t loved the vampire stuff much, but I really liked this issue. Some of the full panels on this were awesome.
TRIAL BY COMBAT!

Two more deities invade Miles' desperate trial, hungering for Spider-Man's corrupted soul. Only ONE of their chosen champions will be saved.<...
Fast paced when the Riddler mind games mixed in. I enjoyed it.
THE RIDDLER'S PLANS FINALLY REVEALED! The GCPD is closing in on their suspected killer--and on Batman! Wayne Enterprises is under attack as Nygma's plans come into focus. The Owls are not what they seem. Don't miss the thrilling penultimate issue of "The Dying City"!
The first pages of the issue are good.. Batman solving the puzzles and trying to get to the riddler as fast as possible is just amazing, I think the plot goes from more to less when Batman leaves the riddle as "silly", this "plot twist" is very bland and cheap, and the sudden change of personality and goals of the riddle feels unnatural and rushed.. However, the last page of thmore

Very interesting twist on the backstory
MEMORIES OF KRYPTON! Years ago on Krypton, Jor-El and Lara became utterly convinced that their planet was headed towards cataclysm. But what could two lowly peons of the Labor Guild possibly do to save their entire species? The answer is decidedly not what you think...
The “critics” rating this above 9 should be questioned. To each their own, but if you think this book is a 9+ you have to rate everything amazingly.
The book is fine, a better installment for this 8 deaths run that’s just a holdover until the new permanent team. For what this arc is doing, it’s doing a fine job.
THE 8 DEATHS OF SPIDER-MAN CONTINUES!
• Cytorrak's most dangerous scion, CALLIX, and his deadly CRIMSON CANINES take their turn to inflict physical pain on Spider-Man.

Chasm's brain has been manipulated more than once...by the Jackal, by the Beyond Corporation... But now someone even more terrifying is digging fingers into the brain of poor Ben Reilly...and his only hope? Kaine Parker, his fellow Peter Parker clone, who at this moment very much believes that the only solution to Chasm is DEATH.

Old allies explore new positions.
Oh,please stop with the over-the-top hyperbole. A few months ago we had "the most shattering event in the last 50 years" (paraphrasing)- the death of whatshername. Now this is "the most brutal fight in Marvel's history?" Not even in the top 50. And the issue ends virtually identical to where it started. Large panels, filler chase scenes. Bo-ring.
The most visceral issues in AMAZING SPIDER-MAN history begin here!
Rated T
Just a big action scene with some horrendous JR art. But at least it was fun.

Wells delivers an intense enough fight to distract from the fact that the plot doesn't progress, but JRJR stumbles after a couple of stronger issues. The idea of #59's cover being a continuation of the cliffhanger is fun, but unfortunately the actual cover is terrible

Not as good as it was hyped up to be, but still a good action issue.

End of Story Arc. The fate of two worlds is decided here, as the Autobots and Decepticons make choices that will change the universe forever.
Where was this the rest of the run?
In response to Nick Lowe’s letter responses, there are a LOT of us who have not enjoyed this run, I don’t believe that’s as “bold” of a take as you believe.
Tombstone finds himself in prison after the brutal beatings he dished out, and also took, in the previous issue. But if you know Tombstone, you know that this is not quite the end of a story starring Lonnie Lincoln...

The noose tied by Arcade, Mentallo and their mysterious benefactor tightens on our two Spider-Men! Things already looked bleak, and when you meet the newest Spider-Villain who makes their debut this issue? Well, we may have to turn our title from Spider-Men to Spider-Man.
PLUS: PART 7 OF DEADPOOL/WOLVERINE: WEAPON X-TRACTION!
Rated T
The battle of the Spider-Men comes to an end, but now Peter and Miles are face-to-face with the makers of the Arcadium and the people who hired them. If you think there weren't any twists left, meet KNAIVE, a truly terrifying new addition to the Spiders' rogues' gallery!

I doing typically like these big events but this has been good

Giving it an extra 0.5 for the art in the back story. Wow. The emotion they captured in the faces was phenomenal.
The primary story was really good, too, but the props to the back story art was needed.
ABSOLUTE POWER TIE-IN! In a thrilling Absolute Power tie-in, Batman and Catwoman must find the key to Amanda Waller's plans in an extremely remote--and shockingly dangerous--location!

Fun book, the line on the last page would’ve been better if vultures were actually birds of prey.

Good read
RETURN TO ASGARD!
In a place of darkness, a deeper darkness threatened to claim Thor - one that only the Odinson himself could defeat. And back in the sunshine of Asgard, the Enchantress waited - to discuss what Thor owed her and what she held over him. This is the story of the IMMORTAL THOR...and of the responsibilities of power.
More like a 7.75, im rounding up. I’m a Kaine fan, so I’m excited he’s playing a prominent role here. There’s enough mystery here to get me to pick up the second issue.
BATTLE OF THE CLONES!
Kaine Parker is on a mission to track down his fellow clone Ben Reilly. But has becoming Chasm made Ben beyond saving? Or is there an even more menacing presence pulling his strings?
