Excellent series bringing Archie back to the masses in an interesting way. As I read I keep thinking about how there are no super heroes or fight scenes yet it not only holds my attention but I look forward to the next book weeks in advance.

Absolutely great entry to what I believe will be a fantastic series. I enjoyed Spider-Verse but I wish Spider-Woman could have started here with issue #1. This was exactly what I was hoping to see. Can't wait to read this issue again in a couple of days.

I'm a big fan of X-23 and Tom Taylor writes Laura very well in issue #1. This is a great direction both for her and for the legacy of Wolverine. I'm counting down the days to issue #2.

I believe Tom Taylor is a phenomenal writer so I was very pleased when I found out he would be writing X-23 as Wolverine. My expectations have been blown away by the first two books. The writing and art are superb and the story line itself is engaging and exciting. I'm already counting down the days to issue 3 and it can't come soon enough.

This is as good a Spidey story as I've read in recent years. Conway gets Peter right throughout the book. He mixes in thoughts and memories from the recently concluded Spider-Verse event quite nicely. Wraiths appearance seems necessary, not extraneous, and the struggles that Wattanabe has throughout, with her alter-ego, provide a nice dramatic backdrop, supporting the events of the story. Impressive intro into Spiral. I'm also quite pleased with the art. Spidey had a bit of his days of old look again, which I found kind of refreshing. Looking forward to the next chapter.

Great series from start to finish. I'm keeping Ms Marvel Vol2 high on my pull list because it is sure to satisfy every month. Fantastic creative team. I'm very pleased with this new addition to the marvel universe and excited to see her become more prevalent across many books.

What a great surprise. I was looking forward to this book and my expectations were exceeded right out of the gate. Excellent team assembly and interactions, full of characters I know and love but still managing to develop them throughout. The art fits the story very well. Good looking book. I'm excited about this one and have it firmly affixed in my pull list.

This was a very well written and drawn intro issue. The setup for the series was nice. I like that Cindy and Peter had opportunities to interact and that we got to see a bit of Cindy's back story. I find myself looking forward to seeing how the events of her past unfold further in future issues. I'm glad I subscribed early to this series.

Two issues in and I am already counting down the days to the next release. This book is a lot of fun. I love the creative uses of characters we already know and love. Gwen shines in her role as hero. The humor actually makes me chuckle and the book doesn't take itself too seriously. The art and colors are joy to look at. I also appreciate having a strong female character that isn't over sexualized. It's a great book. What's not to love?

Having read and enjoyed the original series by Peter David, I was thrilled to learn that Spidey 2099 was returning. That David was writing and Sliney was drawing only added to the excitement. After book one was released on July 9th, I'm hooked and can't wait for more. Excellent art and a solid reintroduction that spurred from the recent Spidey 2099 appearances in Superior Spider-Man give the reader all they need to engage with these characters. I can't wait to see what comes of this title and I'm hoping for a long, solid run.

This is a must read series for fans of Spidey and Venom. Great story and phenomenal art.

This is the Spidey I've been waiting for, and the relationship stuff between Peter and MJ that was teased late in Slott's run may just get paid off sooner than later. Very interesting to see what they may do with One More Day continuity going forward. Great art and exciting premise. I'm in for the long haul on this book.

I'm enjoying this book and can't wait to see what's in store for Jess now that Spider-Verse has ended. I'm intrigued by the fact that she is leaving the avengers to focus on helping people. This could turn into a really good street level book just like Amazing Spider-Man used to be. Looking forward to what is to come.

This is a sleeper book with an excellent cast of characters and a solid storyline. Recommended read.

Good series with a nice. tidy ending. Hard to tell what will become of Wraith, but I'm guessing the Black Cat won't be the only female in Spidey's world that he's at odds with.

Recent years of Iron Man books have been a little more serious in tone, but this new book seems to be a bit more lighthearted. Granted, this was only issue #1. Honestly, I'm not sure how I feel about that. It was hard to take seriously and if that continues I'm not sure I'll stick with it. I'll give it a couple of issues before I make further decisions though.
