Solid writing and art all around. Would be more excited for what comes next if not for knowing JRJR is back. A lot of this first arc has been elevated by the incredible art. What happens when the writing doesn't have quality art to lean back on?
NO HOPE AGAINST THE HOBGOBLIN!
As HOBGOBLIN's assault tears SPIDER-MAN's mind (and limbs) apart, Kingsley unleashes his wrath on those nearest and dearest to Peter Parker. And this is a deadly race against time Spider-Man can't afford to lose - even as he risks losing his sanity to win!

Oh how I loathe JRJR. I do have to admit this was some of his best work that I’ve seen.

HELLGATE'S OPENING...PUNCH!
PETER PARKER's life has been worse. He's got a steady job. BLACK CAT is giving him the time of day again. As SPIDER-MAN, Peter's taken some super-powered punches. But he's never caught the kind of HELL that's in store for him next.

THE 8 DEATHS OF SPIDER-MAN CONTINUES! Spider-Man has faced four Scions and is running out of extra lives. This issue's scion, CYRA, represents the very power of Death Itself and makes Spider-Man watch everything he loves die. Can Spider-Man possibly withstand this punishment?

I ended up liking the next issue, and the art while not nearly as good as Larraz was not bad for JRJR.
Thanks. I'll withhold judgment till I see it, then.
