    Kabooooom - Matt Morrison May 31, 2018

    This book is as gloriously over-the-top and ridiculous as I feared. It is also shockingly good, and I'm not ashamed to say the final pages brought tears to my eyes. Read Full Review

    Comicsverse - Matt Attanasio Jun 1, 2018

    It's not over-selling it to say that this is one of the greatest single issues of AMAZING SPIDER-MAN to date. AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #800 succeeds on just about every level. Read Full Review

    GWW - Percy Waelchl May 31, 2018

    Rarely do comics create the sense of adrenaline that an action movie climax can, but Slott achieves that here. While the “Go Down Swinging” arc may have dragged at times, this issue grabs a hold of the reader and never let's go. Any superhero fan looking for that next great story will find it within this landmark issue. Read Full Review

    The Super Powered Fancast - Deron Generally May 30, 2018

    The end of the "Go Down Swinging" storyline is a great call back to some of the best aspects of Spider-Man's story as well as an interesting introduction to some strong stories going forward. Read Full Review

    Henchman-4-Hire - Sean Ian Mills Jun 2, 2018

    The final issue of Dan Slott's epic run on Amazing Spider-Man is big, wild and full of punching; a true grand finale. But there are little snags along the way that hold it back. Read Full Review

    Newsarama - David Pepose May 30, 2018

    It's unclear that Spider-Man will ever find true peace - which is usually one of the first casualties of drama - but with Amazing Spider-Man #800, Slott and company stick the landing magnificently, finding a truly cathartic solution to Peter's never-ending calculus of power and responsibility.

    Weird Science - Jim Werner Jun 4, 2018

    As for this issue, get it regardless. It's issue 800! It ends Slott's Run! You'd be a fool to not read this and own it.  Read Full Review

    Multiversity Comics - Robbie Pleasant Jun 1, 2018

    A fantastic conclusion to the "Go Down Swinging" story arc, with Dan Slott pulling out all the stops, making full use of the supporting cast, and including several timely callbacks to classic Spider-Man stories. Each artist adds a unique touch to their piece, but the issue flows well from one part to the next. A must-read for Spider-Man fans. Read Full Review

    Pop Culture Uncovered - soshillinois May 31, 2018

    On an overall note though, Amazing Spider-Man is a fantastic celebration of 800 issues of this comic, as well as a penultimate issue to close out a ten year run by Dan Slott. Youre getting a memorable story here. Read Full Review

    Bleeding Cool - Joshua Davison May 30, 2018

    If youve not been paying attention to this series in a while well, you wont feel that lost, but Id still give it a pass. If you absolutely must have Amazing Spider-Man #800, well you were going to buy it no matter what I said and more power to you. I understand the compulsion to buy a landmark issue like this. That said, even if youre lukewarm on Slotts ASM, I wouldnt cough up the 10 bucks to buy this book. Its just not that good, and thats the risk you run with a price point like this. Read Full Review

    Comic Book Revolution - Kevin Lainez Jun 3, 2018

    When it focused on the battle between Spider-Man and Green Goblin, Amazing Spider-Man #800 was at its best. Unfortunately everything around that involving those outside our main stars, particularly J. Jonah Jameson, Doctor Octopus and the Symbiotes, dragged "Go Down Swinging" down. It does not help that Amazing Spider-Man #800 was priced at $9.99. That cover price just guaranteed that, rather than being a celebratory milestone, this was a comic book that should only be picked up by those who have read the entirety of Dan Slott's Spider-Man run. And even then Amazing Spider-Man #800 is hard to recommend given all the problems with the story of "Go Down Swinging." Read Full Review

    The Beat - Alexander Jones May 31, 2018

    I think bad is probably too harsh for the entry, but mediocre seems like a fair assessment. I would say unless you are heavily invested in The Amazing Spider-Man #800 this comic embodies the attributes to make it a SKIP. Read Full Review
