The Amazing Spider-Man #13 Review
Last issue ended with a bombshell that felt appropriate as a tribute to both the title and character. That said, Uncle Ben's appearance as one of the Totems surprised a lot of readers, and The Amazing Spider-Man #13 deals with the reactions from the various Spiders -- Peter Parker, especially -- as the Inheritors wait...

[Comic Review] Meta Powers — The Amazing Spider-Man #8
Last review, I mentioned it was fitting that Ms. Marvel was teaming up with Spider-Man. Now, after reading The Amazing Spider-Man #8, it's obvious that the appearance of Marvel's new darling wasn't just a coincidence. Christos Gage litters issue #8 with nods to various complaints over Silk's costume and Spider-Woman's covergate along with references to medical... Continue Reading →

[Comic Review] Electro Shock Therapy — The Amazing Spider-Man #6 Review
The masking will not be televised. J. Jonah Jameson's knack for getting in his own way -- possibly boosted by Black Cat's bad luck powers rubbing off on him -- keeps Peter Parker's face obscured long enough for Silk to cover him up. In the chaos that follows, Silk and Spider-Man escape, leaving Felicia and... Continue Reading →
