I review the first issue of the Amazing Spider-Man Fifth Relaunch with new writer, Zeb Wells and classic Spider-Man artist, John Romita Jr. While I love the artwork, criminal underworld moments and the mystery on what the Sinister Six. The rest of the issue leaves me feeling very cold, feeling we are retreading on a mix of the Howard Mackie 1998 and Dan Slott Runs. Remember everyone, Peter Parker is a loser and Peter and Mary Jane can’t be together because we say so.
