I haven’t read too many good Spiderman stories in the past few years, but ever since Dan Slott took over writing duties Amazing Spiderman has become one of the most well written and fun comics to read! Great pacing and fine art by Humberto Ramos, whose style is perfect for Spidey. Slott seemed to understand Spidey and that is reflected on how he writes the characters. I also loved how he’s not afraid to change the status quo (Peter’s new job, Mayor J Jonah Jameson, Aunt May new husband, etc).
The major event of the year, Spider Island, is waaayyyy better than the overhyped “Fear Itself” or DC’s “Flashpoint”. It’s actioned packed but also meaty and doesnt lack substance unlike the 2 previous events that I mentioned. For now, Amazing Spiderman is a permanent fixture on my pull list.
