Spidey is built on sci-fi concepts. And it's a probability machine. It doesn't predict exactly, but it gives Spider-Man a good indication of when and where a crime is going to occur.
Amazing Spider-Man #37

Jan 08, 2020I've been trade waiting for most of this series, but I'm on the edge of diving back into this series thanks to this and the great issue before it. The idea of Spider-Man utilizing a new way of seeing dangers is an interesting one given the spider-sense abilities he already has. Read Full Review

Sequential Planet - Ethan Maddux
Jan 13, 2020The Amazing Spider-Man #37 is a breath of fresh air after an underwhelming couple of months for the title. It gets back to what made it so refreshing in the first place, focusing on Peter's social life, the Kindred mystery, and the art team's spectacular work. I couldn't be happier to see it.

GWW - Percy Waelchl
Jan 08, 2020After Nick Spencer's last arc, he provides a brief palate cleanser with a few appetizers for the coming story. The issue is a nice break in the action, but ultimately minor in the scope of the ongoing storylines. The result is a needed, but quickly consumed issue bridging major arcs in Spencer's ongoing run.

Jan 11, 2020Amazing Spider-Man #37 doesn't have any groundbreaking reveals or major game changers, but does a good job of setting up for future issues and giving the reader some genuine laughs and heartfelt character moments. Read Full Review

Comic Book Revolution - Kevin Lainez
Jan 11, 2020Amazing Spider-Man #37 has introduces some interesting plot points for the direction Peter Parker, J. Jonah Jameson and Norah Winters are going to go on moving forward. Nick Spencer's writing is at its best when he is just writing these characters day-to-day interactions. That is helped by the excellent artwork that Ryan Ottley provides throughout this issue. The problem Amazing Spider-Man #37 runs into is the fact that in trying to be smart by referencing events like Civil War II what Spencer actually accomplishes the opposite. All he ends up doing is highlighting all the problems their is with the big stories he is trying to tell in this series. Read Full Review

Jan 08, 2020This issue feels like the obligatory cool-down story after one extended arc ends and before we move on to the next series of stories, but it just didn't give me any reason to be excited for what's in store next for Peter. Read Full Review

This is a ground setting issue, but a really great one. I'm excited for JJJ's podcast (which is what the next arc will be about) and Norah Winters possibly becoming part of the cast (I mean, she was in issue 13, but that was so long ago). I'm also excited to see what Spider-Man can do with the clairvoyant. He is basically the only hero that can be trusted with that, and I love how Nick Spencer immediately addresses Civil War II and its bullshit dichotomy, thus solving that problem before it can really fester. Another thing I love is Peter's insecurities and his attempt at fixing them. Spidey has got to be relatable, that's how he works. I found the video date with MJ adorable. And lastly, man, Kindred is back and he's bringing back the Sin- more

I don't know if it is Ottley being back as the artist, but I really liked this one. A nice, slower issue that teases things to come and gives us nice MJ/Pete -moment. Spencer is better at these smaller stories IMO, the 2099 wasn't good for me.

This is where the book should stay. Spencer and Ottley as they established in the first year. Classic Spidey stories feel with new twists.

This issue was definitely a return-to-from. I'm glad we are done with the "2099" event. Now we can finally move to the main story. You know, the one that's actually interesting. Anyways, this issue had some really nice moments (Peter and MJ's date) and some funny ones too (JJJ and Norah's talk). The ending, for the first time in a long time, has me excited to see what will happen and overall, I think this issue was fun and worth reading.

Finally a solid issue after that pretty average 2099 arc. This got back to basics with what made this good to begin with.

7.5
Spidey starts using the Clairvoyant to get a head start on his hero-ing (no way THAT'LL backfire), Jonah accepts a mysterious proposition, and Kindred does his thousandth bit of ominous foreshadowing. So business as usual for this series, really. It looks nice and it sounds good, it's got charm and humor. But I'm thrice bitten and very shy -- one solid issue with a few promising plot developments aren't enough to shake off the feeling that this volume is trapped in amber.

I'm glad Nick Spencer acknowledged that Civil War 2 did this already, because I was thinking that during the last arc. This one was pretty good after the last arc, which was pretty much one of the worst arcs of the whole run.

Free of 2099, there's more breathing room and focus. Solid set-up issue that has me excited to read on.

3.0
This clairvoyant thing is too sci-fi for Spidey, and really, makes no sense. All these alternate realities donr occur simultaneously or track exactly, so how does it predict where spidey should be to stop a break-in? I dont likethe art,either.
