Amazing Spider-Man # 6
What a promising start on page one and two. Byrne gives us a great 2 page spread of Spidey swinging in NYC and capturing two criminals. Byrne is a great artist and if his creativeness is aimed in the right direction, he can be spectacular, or is that Amazing?
The plot of this comic involved the new, evil Spider-Woman, and her creator Doc Ock. It’s always great to see Doc back in these pages. Another plus was the mystery phone calls MJ was receiving. Good tension on the writing about MJ’s secret and Peter’s hiding of his web slinging. However there were a few downfalls to this once great title.
The inclusion of the new, good Spider-Woman to be sure. It’s still sad that Mackie and Co. are trying to spin off a new character inside a just re-booted book. The “Jenny Jones” make-over of Aunt May is pathetic. It’s the equivalent of giving the Avengers Alfred a toupee and making him look 20 years younger. Plain and simply Aunt May is to look old. She is not supposed to have a new Jennifer Aniston hair dew.
This was once again an average comic, with nothing particularly Amazing about our web head. So an average two out of four Spidey goes to this latest adventure.
