Okay, so Ben's actually alive... How's so...
Look! Up in the sky! It’s a bird, it’s eating brains, it’s The Vulture! While a brand new Vulture terrorizes Spider-Man and New York City, the original Vulture, Adrian Toomes, reflects on his past as Fred Van Lente and Barry Kitson bring you the Vulture’s origins.

Behold Mysterio! Looks can be more than just deceiving, they can drive you mad. Webbed wonders Fred Van Lente and Barry Kitson bring you the real story of Quentin Beck…or is it just another illusion?

Good! Not like any of these new stories were really important, but they were quite fun.
His name is The Rhino, and when his will is set, there’s no one he can’t run through to get the job done. If Spidey manages to survive the first wave of the Gauntlet, he won’t want to as The Rhino stands ready for him next. Webhead Wonder Fred Van Lente and Super-Spider-Star Barry Kitson bring you The Rhino’s history through the Rhino’s...
Very weird retcon of Electro history. It means pretty much nothing, I don't know why it was even needed... But anyway, the Jameson story was okay, even though a bit weird.
Taking a look back at how Max Dillon became the voltage virtuoso known as Electro! Fred Van Lente and Barry Kitson bring you his side of the origin story! Over in Spider-Girl, May-Day continues her war with the Jersey Devil, while her clone April comes face to face with the remaining members of the cult of the Goblin! Finally, what’s a day in the...
I guess I kinda missed these random Spider-Man side series... I think I'm going to read it pretty quick. It has Spider-Girl reprints in most of the issues, which I skip, because they are reprints and I'll definitely read them when the time comes. But there are also two new stories and the first one was about Kaine, which is okay. Not like a really needed tie-in to that story arc from ASM, but setsmore
Tying into upcoming events in Amazing Spider-Man including WHO IS BEN REILLY? and THE GAUNTLET!

The brand-new, state of the art WEB OF SPIDER-MAN! THRILL! To the return of KAINE, the ill-fat...

The art is ugly, but overall it was quite fun.
Prepare for the Deadpool and Spider-Man team-up of the century! What has brought the Merc With A Mouth to Spidey’s neck of the woods? What does it have to do with the arduous trials he will come to face in his future? Plus, Lady Stilt-Man!

The Black Cat is back and she’s causing trouble for her on-again-off-again love interest Spider-Man! Can everyone’s favorite Wall-crawler curb the Cat’s mischievous ways? Find out here!
Okay, this new villain isn't that bad, actually. But I can see why he was never used after his story arc in ASM. Looks like a one-shot guy for sure.
As Peter Parker prepares for the 2nd most important wedding day of his life, a new enemy brutally rises up from Spidey’s past. Plus the introduction of some brand new family members promises to make this a wedding that he wishes never happened! Rated A …$3.99
It was longer, than needed, but anyway, quite a cool filler. The second story was probably odd and made solely to tease what's coming next, but the first one about MJ was great. The last one was at least funny, so not a bad one either.
Who needs Spider-Man when you have the Amazing Mary Jane? It's MJ's turn to play hero as a party turns deadly.
So... Now we know that Chameleon doesn't put important characters in the acid right away and waits for the acid to fill slowly. And also Chameleon likes to check his gun out just for the sake of it and he didn't plan to kill Harry. I love comics. Anyway, this was quite a solid story arc overall.
The Chameleon's back and his target is...Peter Parker? But the most surprising event is the return of a certain red-head!
I really love when Chameleon is used like this... I can't stop remembering that story from Marvel Adventures where he was posing as aunt May pretty much the same way. But the problem is that it's not that funny here. Oh, let's see what happens next. The way Peter could survive the acid is insane already.
The Chameleon is poised to unleash unspeakable horror on New York City and Spider-Man is nowhere to be found, so the only person who can stop him is...Mary Jane Watson?!
Oh no... That's the end of our hero...
By the way, it's kinda insane Chameleon is the first (without retcons of Amazing Fantasy 16-18 and etc) Spider-Man's villains and he's not used much... I mean, the way he was shown here he's cool and intimidating. Which is great.
The Chameleon returns with a mission that has Mayor J. Jonah Jameson in his sights! Meanwhile, the Anti-Spider Squad narrows its dragnet around the Wall-Crawler, and Peter Parker gets a new job. Will it bring him closer to Mary Jane or push her away?
The main story is just okay, but the back-up certainly ads 0.5 points to it.
Prepare for the All-New, All-Deadly: DARK MARY-JANE!! Oops, sorry, that's the rest of Marvel's solicits...Actually, in this issue "Red-Headed Stranger" begins just after the surprising events of AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #600 with Pete's love life taking a turn for the worse just as his old flame Mary Jane returns to New York City. (FINALLY!! Sheesh. What...
That was big! And I'm talking only about the main story. But there are also many shorter ones. Not like they were needed... But most of them were surprisingly really cool. A great issue overall. This is what pretty much every milestone issue must be.
The return of Doctor Octopus, Daredevil, and one of the most important people in Peter Parker’s life! Doc’s back in town, but it’s only a prelude to darker days ahead as Spidey unknowingly prepares for a gauntlet he can’t even see coming.
It’s the ultimate battle between friends and family as Spidey’s battle against the Iron Patriot and his Dark Avengers leaves one man with a choice too painful to contemplate.
Harry Osborn’s ex-girlfriend Lily, is in Norman’s custody and pregnant with Harry’s child. Looks like it’s time for a nice, little family reunion!
Spider-Man’s death-defying battle with Bullseye and Venom continues as wedding bells begin to toll for Harry Osborn!
Spider-Man goes up against Venom and Bullseye as he prepares to infiltrate the Dark Avengers headquarters. Meanwhile Harry’s life takes a dramatic turn now that he’s reunited with Lily and wedding plans continue for two lucky Parker pals.
Now faced with hard choices about family and friendship, Spider-Man knows exactly what he has to do to save the world! It's time to take down Norman Osborn.
24/7 CONCLUSION Spider-Man is being hunted by a newly empowered J. Jonah Jameson. With no peace for the webslinger to be found privately or publicly, it’s time for Spidey to face up to the truth of the 24/7 mission, before it kills him!
Wow this new Vulture is kinda cool! Plus some scenes of Spidey helping people were really funny. I love this synergy between him and normal citizens.
24/7 PART 2 Spider-Man versus the Vulture in all-out war for supremacy!
It's funny, especially the chemistry between Spidey and Jonah. But Peter is such a creep... No private life for an old lady...
"24/7," Part One! In the aftermath of Spidey’s Fantastic Four voyage, his whole world is turned upside down by the new rules of the world. The good news is that after all these years, Spider-Man finally gets the upper hand on J. Jonah Jameson--but it's gonna cost him, particularly with the all-new Vulture winging into town! Plus--Peter drops by ...
Wasn't expecting that... So does he remember he sold his soul to Mephisto? I thought he was clueless... Okay, maybe it's not a good idea to read ongoing series like I do...
FACE FRONT PART 2 One of the most enduring friendships in the Marvel Universe is tested when Spider-Man and the Human Torch throw down!
