This issue had some ... issues. First of all the dialog is dreadful. The only splash page is literally the first pages ruined by 13 bubbles crammed together. It was cool to see the villain costumes but covered by these bubbles made it look terrible. Accompanied by Goldballs jealousy this was just painful to read. There was almost no action. Only 2 panels contained any sort of action. Nothing else.
So, on to the good things. The cover really brought me to this issue. The color art seems to change a few times through out the issue. Starts off warm with reds and yellows. Good start to the first villains' introductions. Then relaxes a bit with white backgrounds for the school and outside scenes. Then finishes with the dark look with blacks and greens when you meet up with the Sinister Six and see who the black Iron Spider is.
I know it's the first issue of this arc but I really hope this gets better. The art continues to be good but we need better plots and story telling.
