The Review at the End of the Universe
“Power Play Conclusion: Suit Yourself” The current arc in The Amazing Spider-Man closes off with a finale that suggests maturity for Peter Parker with darker things to come for him. I’ve really enjoyed this story for the most part. Regent was a really interesting villain back in “Renew Your Vows” so I’m glad that he…
Issue #1 Secret Wars has begun and brings many changes to the Marvel Universe allowing old fan favourite stories to be dusted off and revisited. One such continuity shift that had fans up in arms was the infamous Spider-Man story One More Day. For those not in the know, this story was a magical reset…
Issue #15 – Spider-Verse Epilogue Spider-Verse is officially -sort of- over with this epilogue supposedly capping off the major plot threads while setting things up for what will happen with the characters in the future.

Event comics have come a long…

The final preamble to Spider-Verse also comes here. I’d been looking forward to seeing a team-up between Spider-Man and the new Ms…
Issue #7 Some interesting things raised in this issue. For the first time since Peter has returned to his own body he has acknowledged that Doc Ock’s methods were effective. Anna Maria calls Peter out on his sense of responsibility and suggests that great responsibility doesn’t mean all of the responsibility. She reminds him that…
Issue 6 I said in my review of the last issue of The Amazing Spider-Man that the cliffhanger would be some form of red herring and as expected that was exactly what it was. We’ve had innumerable unmasking scares over this character’s long history and they’ve never really been worthwhile. It’s a bit of a…
