Amazing Spider-Man #16
Plot: Mackie finally gets around to addressing some loose plot threads. First up is Peter’s job at Tri-corp, which he hasn’t been to since I think the first couple of issues. The second is that plot involving J. Jonah possibly knowing Spidey’s secret id. In-between those two issues John Byrne works in a gratuitous plug for his new mini-series, “Marvel : The Lost Generation.”
Likes: I enjoyed an appearance by the Ghost. He’s an old Iron Man villain, and it’s cool to see him again. I also enjoyed Mackie getting around to these long forgotten plot elements. Plus seeing Peter down on his luck again has its advantages, still MJ is missed.
Dislikes: Byrne pencils one awful looking Peter Parker. His Spidey is ok, but man take a look at his Peter. She-O-wee. Also I didn’t care for the appearance of Cassandra Locke. Leave it to Byrne to push her appearance here two issues before he leaves. She seemed out of place, and has no effect on the Amazing title. A big waste of valuable storytelling space in my opinion.
Rating: I’m giving this two out of four web heads. It’s a vast improvement over last, but still it’s mediocre stuff at best.
