    Amazing Spider-Man #25 is a tremendous issue, kickstarting Dan Slott's next arc and bringing Peter Parker and Norman Osborn into head-on collision! Read Full Review

    After the latest Spider-event book, Dan Slott and Stuart Immonen may be giving Peter Parker the best gift of all for this anniversary issue " just letting Spider-Man be Spider-Man, with no need for the bells and whistles outside of just super-strong execution. It's a refreshing read, and one that's easily accessible for new readers " with a creative team like this at the wheel, expect some great things to be coming from Amazing Spider-Man.

    Overall, Amazing Spider-Man #25 is a nice package, but it falls short of the Alexander Hamilton required to purchase it. This feels much more like an annual used to than an issue of a regular series. If it were mine to price, Idve probably paid $6. Maybe $7 for an extra-sized issue that follows way too closely to a recently completed event. It definitely served the purpose of getting my attention for Immonens arrival on the title. Ill at least be looking at the series so long as hes around. Read Full Review

    A satisfying main story, five backups and a teaser story for the future of the series means "Amazing Spider-Man" #25 is a strong celebration of the character. Read Full Review

    Amazing Spider-Man #25 feels more like an annual with the added content being tacked on the end which might justify the hefty price tag added on this issue. As for "The Osborn Identity " Part One: Bug Hunt" there is plenty of surprising twists which are perfectly illustrated by Immonen leading to a promising arc. Read Full Review

    IGN - Jesse Schedeen

    Mar 15, 2017

    This new issue of Amazing Spider-Man has a lot going for it. The main story, if a bit awkwardly paced, delivers some big twists, a dark tone and plenty of gorgeous art from Stuart Immonen. Unfortunately, this issue struggles to justify the hefty cover price. Too many of the backup stories read like pointless filler rather than meaningful additions to Peter Parker's increasingly chaotic world. Read Full Review

    Superior Spider-Talk - Mark Ginocchio

    Mar 16, 2017

    Amazing Spider-Man #25's main story is an effective opening chapter for "The Osborn Identity" and shows off both Dan Slott and Stuart Immomen's varied storytelling talents. However, $9.99 is way too much to pay for a single comic, and nothing found in the backup tales, save one, makes this book feel like it's worth the considerable cost of admission. Read Full Review

    Comic Book Revolution - Kevin Lainez

    Mar 18, 2017

    For the opening chapter of "The Osborn Identity" Amazing Spider-Man #25 is very successful. Dan Slott creates a lot of intrigue on multiple angles with Spider-Man's latest clash with his greatest enemy. The surprising return of Silver Sable added to the intrigue of where things will go. Unfortunately the hefty price point of $9.99 make Amazing Spider-Man #25 virtually impossible to recommend to anyone outside the hardest of hardcore Spider-Man fans. Read Full Review

    Immonen and Slott work well together and the story flows with good developments. Camuncoli's story with Slott is also good and very promising. But the rest is filler. This is not going to help this book get any new readers.

    I would have been much happier without all those backup issues (except for the final one), thus having a smaller price (10 bucks for an issue? I can buy a trade containing the whole arc for that). The main story was decent, might be better than some of the previous ones. Don't really care about Immonen coming to this book as I don't find his art anything that special.

    The main story here is pretty decent as we see Spider-Man try to track down Norman Osborn as well as deal with some of the lingering fall out of the Clone event. Its written a bit choppy with everything Slott is trying to set up for the next arc but overall it works well. The art is fantastic as always in this issue. But the back ups are pointless (except for the last one) and not needed at all. This is one thing that is really driving me away from Marvel is the fact we just got out of an event that doubled the amount of books we had to buy (some at 4.99) and now the first issue back to the normal story lines is 9.99!? I really wish Marvel would care at least half of much about giving their readers quality stories as it did making a quick b more

    Oh, Marvel. Keep being you. This contains a pretty strong main story, with truly amazing art by Stuart Immonen, and an interesting final page story that falls out of Clone Conspiracy. These were well-done. Anyway, the rest of the issue is filled with throwaways that I only half read because they were nonsense. Well, the Hannah Blumenrieich one was charming. However, something about Marvel's unmitigated greed in releasing a 10 dollar comic, and Peter's complaining about life as a billionaire doesn't sit right.

    Spidey is so focused on chasing Osborn that he barely notices PI falling apart. He still has time to start laying romantic tracks toward Bobbi Morse, though. So, the double-sized A-story isn't that bad. It's really a good 20-pager stretched out into 40 flabby pages, but whatever. It's followed by six backups: An introduction to the Hydrated Superior Doc Ock, redundant "PI is really really in trouble" stories, and a selection of cutesy "maybe I'd 'like' if somebody shared this on social media" cartoons. Plus a ˜ ˜ ˜ ˜  Tsum Tsum tie-in. Marvel had the gall to ask LCS customers to pay $10 for this immediately after abusing their Spider-budgets with an underwhelming crossover event. I'm insulated from pricing outrages by reading through MU, bu more

    10 bucks?!? I hate to say it, but John Byrne was right, this story is poo. Miles Morales is my Spider-man for now.
