I think she was cool here, especially when she tried to sabotage the Spider-Slayer. And her jealousy is completely justified.
Not the best Spidy or Dr. Strange story. It’s cool to see them team up but the villain sucked. To many Dues Ex Machina moments just to get the plot to move forward. Still a fun read just nothing great.
A vile new foe has hatched a plot to steal the Wand of Watoomb from Doctor Strange! Spider-Man fights the Circus of Crime! All this and more in a super-sized spectacular!
Please note: this 26-page issue's content includes the 20 page "The Wondrous World of Dr. Strange" story plus the 5-page "Gallery of Spider-Man's Most Famous Foes....
It's okay, not a bad comic, but not a very exciting one either. I wish there was more time to show the chemistry between Spidey and Doc. Pin-ups with new Spidey villains (since annual #1) are cool, but there was not that many. Lazy Stan couldn't create new villains every month. The remaining 40 pages are just reprints, while the new story is normal sized. So technically, Spidey-fans of that time wmore

Man, the cover is great. And the graduation part was quite important. I also like Molten Man, but I didn't understand how could he be covered in this liquid metal if he was fully clothed... And his suit was absolutely clean. And what was that... um... ray? It wasn't even mentioned. It must have been that that device + this liquid metal somehow caused this reaction, but it was never explained in thmore
The menace of the Molten Man! Learn the origin of Spider-Man's strangest new foe!
Okay, now this issue was quite cool. Ditko's art is great as well, by the way, but he can't stop to surprise me with some unexpected angles and facial expressions. I don't know how people even possibly can hate this old artwork. Comics those days already had great artists.
Spider-Man has been captured by the Green Goblin and is at the mercy of the mob! Plus, the final confrontation with the Crime-Master! Will he reveal the Green Goblin's identity?
Seeing Peter blowing a fuse and attacking Flash and his groupies was so euphoric.
Who is the mysterious Crime-Master and how does he know the Green Goblin's true identity? And just what are their plans for the Amazing Spider-Man?
All this criminal crap is a bit boring, just like this new Crime-Master, but it was good for the most part.
Who is the mysterious Crime-Master and how does he know the Green Goblin's true identity? And just what are their plans for the Amazing Spider-Man?
I love how this issue focuses on Peter kinda bringing all the drama on himself due to him needing money but also his arrogance in knowing he’s Spidey and it almost backfires. It’s nice to see a character so human. You can really see why Marvel became Spudey. By this time he has outshined Ff all the way.
Spider-man must do battle with J. Jonah Jameson's Spider-Slayer!
This issue cemented all the thoughts I have about Betty Brant: she is a *weird* character. Thank goodness Peter met better women, otherwise he'd be better off single.

I think she was cool here, especially when she tried to sabotage the Spider-Slayer. And her jealousy is completely justified.
It was cool and funny story. I love the concept of Jonah using Spider-Slayers to catch Spider-Man, plus gigachad Peter is always nice to see. Love it.
Spider-man must do battle with J. Jonah Jameson's Spider-Slayer!
Spider-Man gets gaslighted by Mysterio. Yeah, that's what I like.
A startling mystery tale where Spider-man "Goes Mad"!
It was okay, but I guess when it comes to Goblin, I prefer the modern stories, rather than these first ones, when the character was still kinda in development. Not a bad story at all, but it's just another Goblin's appearance in the comic, nothing's really surprising or moving.
Don't waste a minute! You've got to see Spidey in action against: The Goblin and the Gangsters!
Hm, I'm not a fan of Circus of Crime and it was here only a few issues before, but I took a long pause between these issues, and I must admit, for some reason I liked this story. It was really funny and partly silly in a good way.
New thrills! New Villains! New Surprises! as Spider-man takes on the Clown and his Masters of Menace!
Gigachad Peter Parker who doesn't take crap from anyone, not even Johnny Storm, is my kind of Peter Parker.
Spidey takes on the Beetle –- and the Human Torch?!
I don't know, I enjoyed this issue, it was quite funny and not bad at all, even though the Beetle is a rather boring villain. I'm not really a fan of these early Spidey/Torch comics, as you might notice by my ratings, but anyway, this time the chemistry between them was cool. But I don't understand why Spidey couldn't just say "hey Torch, your girl was kidnapped by the Beetle!". Wouldn't it be, ummore
Spidey takes on the Beetle –- and the Human Torch?!
Thanks to some guy on Tumbler, I could read this comic. Huh, yeah, these first non-reprints stories are definitely weak in terms of storytelling. It was really silly and there was too much of everything... But it was kinda sorta cute, rather a kind Christmas story it is... Meh, I still wish I could read all of these rare stories, but anyway, we have what we have.
The fan favorite team of writer Paul Jenkins and artist Humberto Ramos reteam for an ongoing series starring the Amazing Spider-Man! And the series kicks off with a bang - enter Venom!

Hisako Ichiki is a teenage girl who just wants to live a normal life - go to school, hang out with her friends, ignore the political strife broiling over after the events of ULTIMATE INVASION - but life has other plans for her. In Japan...
Hm... There were many hilarious scenes and it was already more MAX, than the 2003 volume, but I found this issue pretty boring overall... And the art is just okay, I think the inking and colouring could be better.
I must admit, I really enjoyed the story at first, especially the idea of them trying to recruit a new member, but failing to convince him to join. But... The logic simply dies in cringe here. When Blob finally refuses, shocked Professor just tells that he needs to make Blob forget about X-Men and their identities. But why did he need his lab for that? He just easily destroyed the memories of the more
The story opens with the X-men training in the schools gymnasium. Today Scott Summers is practicing the speed at which he can blast bean bags that are being launched at him by the Beast. The other boys are involved with some one-upmanship and roughhousing until Professor X calls them to order. Jean's task is to move a block of wood through a series...
Despite the simple designed villain,the thing that the book conveys to the audience is massive.Power illustrations are lit and it continues.
The X-men are called home from patrol by Professor X who is concerned about a new menace. Angel is mobbed by a group of girls who want autographs or kisses and Cyclops is able to save some construction workers. The X-men return home as quickly as possible to watch a mental project of a new threat called the Vanisher.
Hm... the structure of the issue is pretty much similar to the previous one. While X-Men are training, some new villain does evil things and gets defeated in the end. However, I think it was a bit too early to show that Prof can do things like this. It's a cheating, he can do this to almost every enemy, why would he need X-Men at all? Also the beginning was a bit weird. I don't think it was time ymore

Stan Lee is a freaking genius. This single 22 pages comic sets up one of the biggest and most important parts of the Marvel universe. First 9 pages make a better job of character introduction, than a big Alphacore TPB... A single 22 pages issue shows us 5 new characters, their powers, their relationship and characteristics, then instantly adds a new character in and by telling her about the X-Men more
Professor X continues to train his young students that he has called them the X-men. They are mutants born with abilities that set them apart from normal humans. The X-men are Cyclops (Scott Summers), Beast (Hank McCoy), Iceman (Bobby Drake), and Angel (Warren Worthington III). The Xavier Institute for Higher Learning gains a new student Jean Grey ...
Easily one of the best Jeff stories. Simple and cute, just like it must be.
I must admit, it was a bit boring and not that cool as a finale. I expected Max to use his powers in the most graphic way or at least something... But the authors didn't change the realistic and historical tone. Why not... But why yes? Anyway, the backing story was nice too.
