Amazing Spider-Man #588

  Another not so great issue of the book, with really rushed looking artwork by the normally solid JR JR. This was the big pay off for all the plotlines since BND and it really fell flat. The only interesting part was the last page with Norman Osborne meeting Menace and welcoming her to the family. This book needs another reboot. 1 out of 5 Spider-Villains.

LEAVE IT ON THE RACK.

Amazing Spider-Man #584

  Cheesy dialogue between supervillains about the importance of voting, a dated 90’s Alannis Morrisette joke, and a lackluster reveal about Menace’s ID (Harry Osborne) and the ID of the Spider Tracer Killer. The book needs a serious revamp and a steady creative team. 1 out of 5 Spider-Villains. Leave it on the Rack.

Here we go with a secondary rating system in effect :

Amazing Spider-Man #582

  Second part of a lackluster Molten Man return. Not much going on in this book due to revolving creative teams. Only stunt covers appear to be the saving this book from horrible sales numbers.  (I’m looking at you Colbert and Obama variants). 2 out of 5 Spider-Villains.  Leave it on the Rack.

Indie reviews late Sunday or Monday if possible.

Amazing Spider-Man #580

  Spider-Man battles the Blank, in a done in one fairly uneventful story. The art by Lee Weeks is a big improvement for the book. 3 out of 5 Spider-Villains.

Astonishing X-Men Ghost  Boxes #2 (of 2 )

  2 more alternate reality stories, including a Cyclops suicide story. Still not worth the $3.99 for only 16 pages of story, but more interesting than the first part. 2 out of 5 X-Men.

Indie books either tonight or tomorrow.

Captain America #44

  A flashback to a Winter Soldier moment in China, and Cap VS Batroc the Leaper. Good Pacing, Good Art. Overall 4 out of 5 New Avengers.

Daredevil # 113

  Lady Bullseye continues with the "death" of the White Tiger. Artwork is hit and miss, Brubaker is a very solid storyteller. 3 out of 5 Marvel Zombies.
