I liked this volume more than the previous one - it's kind of weird， but really gets at the heart of Spider-Man。 I liked this volume more than the previous one - it's kind of weird， but really gets at the heart of Spider-Man。 。。。more

Those milestone books are often less than good， but I’m forgiving。 I’m interested in seeing where this series is headed。

I'd classify this much the same as V1: good writing by Zeb Wells sabotaged by corporate policies at Marvel。This time around， the problem is the big 60th anniversary issue （#6）。 It's 。。。 horrible。 Wells dumps in piles of supporting characters and piles of villains and not a single one of this is acting in character。 They're all cardboard cutouts used for humor effect。 The whole thing is so strange and bizarre that I kept waiting for the reveal to come that it was all a dream or a computer simulat I'd classify this much the same as V1: good writing by Zeb Wells sabotaged by corporate policies at Marvel。This time around， the problem is the big 60th anniversary issue （#6）。 It's 。。。 horrible。 Wells dumps in piles of supporting characters and piles of villains and not a single one of this is acting in character。 They're all cardboard cutouts used for humor effect。 The whole thing is so strange and bizarre that I kept waiting for the reveal to come that it was all a dream or a computer simulation， and when it never came， I didn't know what to make of this mess。The main arc （#7-8）， concerning the Vulture and Norman Osbourne is pretty good as a continuation of plots sof far。 Wells is really making great use of Osbourne， keeping us guessing whether he remains reformed or not and the showdown with the Vulture is nuanced。 Still， this feels like a little bit of nothing， to pretty much get two issues of plot in a whole graphic novel。 。。。more

I thought this second volume of Zeb Wells's Spider-Man run more than the first。 The giant-sized issue #6 has Ed McGuiness on art （which I prefer to JRJR） and is an enjoyable story with some nice silver age throwbacks。 7 and 8 are a little self-contained Vulture story， which was fun enough。 Not deeply consequential stuff。 I thought this second volume of Zeb Wells's Spider-Man run more than the first。 The giant-sized issue #6 has Ed McGuiness on art （which I prefer to JRJR） and is an enjoyable story with some nice silver age throwbacks。 7 and 8 are a little self-contained Vulture story， which was fun enough。 Not deeply consequential stuff。 。。。more

The oversized issue celebrating Spider-Man’s major milestone is a bit… crap。 Nothing of consequence happens and sadly it reads like a cheap way to get all the major Spidey characters featured。 The following issues collected here feel like padding until the last page which sees where the series will go。 The art is a mixed bag with the only real highlights being the back up stories。 Given this collection features only 3 issues （1 admittedly ‘oversized’） Marvel could’ve reprinted all the covers as The oversized issue celebrating Spider-Man’s major milestone is a bit… crap。 Nothing of consequence happens and sadly it reads like a cheap way to get all the major Spidey characters featured。 The following issues collected here feel like padding until the last page which sees where the series will go。 The art is a mixed bag with the only real highlights being the back up stories。 Given this collection features only 3 issues （1 admittedly ‘oversized’） Marvel could’ve reprinted all the covers as back up。 2/5 。。。more

It was fine？ The stories were ok， nothing wrong with them， but it lost a star as a collection for being 3 issues （even if one is oversized） for $18 USD。 That's absurd。 And I'm mad I paid it。 It was fine？ The stories were ok， nothing wrong with them， but it lost a star as a collection for being 3 issues （even if one is oversized） for $18 USD。 That's absurd。 And I'm mad I paid it。 。。。more

I don't know。 There was something about this that I didn't like。 The first issue of this volume had a weird cheesiness to it and I think McGuinness' art didn't help any。 It's basically a fill-in issue， showing Spidey battle a bunch of villains while we're reminded that Peter is back to being the "loser" he was back in high-school， which has become tiresome and unbelievable。 I also hate the new costume and the crux of the new storyline。 So after a strong start this volume fumbles。 I don't know。 There was something about this that I didn't like。 The first issue of this volume had a weird cheesiness to it and I think McGuinness' art didn't help any。 It's basically a fill-in issue， showing Spidey battle a bunch of villains while we're reminded that Peter is back to being the "loser" he was back in high-school， which has become tiresome and unbelievable。 I also hate the new costume and the crux of the new storyline。 So after a strong start this volume fumbles。 。。。more

Volume Two （The New Sinister） by Zeb Wells and John Romita Jr。 reprints only three issues of the ongoing monthly series， since one of them （#6） is another BS Marvel manufactured anniversary issue （like #900 or something）， so it had a $9。99 price tag， while issues #7 and #8 are normal-sized。 I’ve never really been a fan of Ed McGuinness’s art—he’s a bit too “bigfoot” cartoony for me for superhero books， but Wells’s script for the giant anniversary issue is decent， bringing back a very forgotten c Volume Two （The New Sinister） by Zeb Wells and John Romita Jr。 reprints only three issues of the ongoing monthly series， since one of them （#6） is another BS Marvel manufactured anniversary issue （like #900 or something）， so it had a $9。99 price tag， while issues #7 and #8 are normal-sized。 I’ve never really been a fan of Ed McGuinness’s art—he’s a bit too “bigfoot” cartoony for me for superhero books， but Wells’s script for the giant anniversary issue is decent， bringing back a very forgotten character from Spidey’s 1960s beginning （issue #8） and reuniting the Sinister Six。 Issues #7 and #8 bring back the original Vulture and have Spidey form an unholy alliance with Norman Osborne， who is now supposedly “sin-free” （it’s a long—and not very good—story） and trying to atone for his past transgressions。 Romita’s art is a little wonky at times， especially with faces， but his figure and action work are better than ever and once again Scott Hanna’s inks really make it better。 I’ll be doing the same thing with Spidey as I do with Daredevil these days … waiting for the trade paperback collection， rather than buying the individual issues each month。 Fun fact: writer Zeb Wells is married to SNL’s Heidi Gardner！ 。。。more

As Zeb Wells solely takes over The Amazing Spider-Man after collaborating with other writers on the excellent Beyond run， it seems like Peter Parker is going down a darker path。 From the very first page， in which something traumatic happened to Peter Parker， causing everyone from the Avengers to those closest to him distancing themselves from Peter。 With Peter somewhat trying to redeem himself in an attempt to reconnect with everyone else， we still have no word about what the central mystery is， As Zeb Wells solely takes over The Amazing Spider-Man after collaborating with other writers on the excellent Beyond run， it seems like Peter Parker is going down a darker path。 From the very first page， in which something traumatic happened to Peter Parker， causing everyone from the Avengers to those closest to him distancing themselves from Peter。 With Peter somewhat trying to redeem himself in an attempt to reconnect with everyone else， we still have no word about what the central mystery is， with the worry that Wells might be repeating a similar problem that Nick Spencer during his not-so-Amazing run。In the next volume， which is only three issues long， Wells has yet to give answers， but there’s some fun to be had。 The oversized issue #6 is the best one that Wells has written， and it actually has nothing to do with the main story。 As Peter gets a surprise birthday party that doesn’t start well， Spider-Man is called to duty when he confronts a Super Adaptoid with the abilities of the original Sinister Six， and is controlled by the Ultra Living Brain who is determined to answer the question: “Who is Spider-Man？”Considering that Spider-Man hasn’t had the best 60th anniversary – though Amazing Fantasy 1000# is ideal reading for any Spidey fan – #6 pays tribute to the classic Stan Lee/Steve Ditko run from Spidey， with Zells having a lot of fun， with Spidey’s banter with the OG Sinister Six and updates an obscure villain from the 60s， the Living Brain。 Along with the stunning art from Ed McGuiness， who balances action and comedy really well， Wells has some fun surprises along the way， from how Spidey resolves the conflict with the Ultra Living Brain， to Peter sharing a kiss with Black Cat。 Oh， and Doc Ock’s mechanical arms have a life of their own and they are depicted like an adorable pet。The next two issues are a return to the main narrative， with Peter approached by his former arch-nemesis， Norman Osborn， who may have cleansed his sins， but is still looking for redemption， such as changing the status quo of his relationship with Peter。 As a vengeful Vulture goes after Spidey and demolishes his suit in the process， Peter gets a new suit from Osborn， now with its Spider-Glider。 Although I prefer McGuinness’s work， John Romita Jr is faring better with every subsequent issue。 Sure， Romita’s characters are always going to look blocky， but he knows how to illustrate action with Spidey and his enemies getting battered up， whilst the Spider-Glider opens the door for more visual ideas。Concluding the volume are three backup features that were published as part of issue #6， most of which are fun little reads， such as the two-pager by Dan Slott and Marcos Marton， though I would skip the one where Spidey interacts with Jimmy Kimmel。 Overall， with fewer issues than before and a central narrative that isn’t quite delivering on its initial pitch， this second volume is still worth reading， largely with how it celebrates the web-slinger's 60th anniversary。 。。。more

Parker has a run in with the Vulture who's out to kill Spider-Man！ Vulture's granddaughter found out about his crimes and cut ties with him。。。 so to get revenge he wants to get the man responsible。。。 and murder Spider-Man。 I'm sure his granddaughter will be pleased。 Parker has a run in with the Vulture who's out to kill Spider-Man！ Vulture's granddaughter found out about his crimes and cut ties with him。。。 so to get revenge he wants to get the man responsible。。。 and murder Spider-Man。 I'm sure his granddaughter will be pleased。 。。。more

But yeah absolutely I skipped the 3 pages where Spider-Man meets Jimmy Kimmel

I'm not usually a fan of these three issues trades， even when one's an anniversary issue， because they're usually normal sized with a load of back-up stories， but this is actually a pleasant surprise。Issue 6 is issue 900， and features one massive story in which Spidey and the Sinister Six team-up to battle a new Super Adaptoid， with a surprise villain pulling the strings。 It's fun all the way through， it doesn't drag， and it's got a great conclusion to it too。 It's all drawn by Ed McGuinness， so I'm not usually a fan of these three issues trades， even when one's an anniversary issue， because they're usually normal sized with a load of back-up stories， but this is actually a pleasant surprise。Issue 6 is issue 900， and features one massive story in which Spidey and the Sinister Six team-up to battle a new Super Adaptoid， with a surprise villain pulling the strings。 It's fun all the way through， it doesn't drag， and it's got a great conclusion to it too。 It's all drawn by Ed McGuinness， so it also looks beautiful as well。 What more do you want in an anniversary？Issues 7 and 8 are a two-part Vulture story that also explains a little more about the current Norman Osborn status quo， which pulls from the end of the previous series。 The Vulture actually manages to feel like a credible threat for a change， and John Romita Jr。 returns on art too。This volume already feels more like the Spider-Man I know and love， compared to the first one， which was。。。slow。 We've got continuity， we've got a great anniversary issue， and we've got classic villains doing different things。 We're well on the right track。 。。。more

The big #900 issue was a letdown for me。 This volume is way too short and is a lot of build up for the next volume。

I like this run so far。 But this story seemed just。。。crammed in。

Happy Birthday Pete。 Thanks for the last forty years。 （Sorry I wasn’t there for the first twenty; blame my parents）。

Entretenida historia， que no entiendo para donde va。 Después de la decepción de la etapa de Spencer， no espero mucho。
