But Why Tho? - Charles Hartford
Sep 15, 2020So, to summarize, The Amazing Spider-Man: The Sins of Norman Osborn #1delivers an exciting, and emotional story, that comes with a bit of baggage. While its still thoroughly enjoyable without all the details, there are story points that might not fully land if you arent up on all things Spider-Man. Read Full Review

The Super Powered Fancast - Deron Generally
Sep 16, 2020Federico Vicentini has some awesome, action-packed art that reflects the tension and tone of the story. There is an emotional element to the art that Vicentini is able to bring out through the panels especially in the moments between Norman and Peter. The reveal of the prisoner being kept at the bottom of the institute is handled brilliantly as well. Read Full Review

AIPT - David Brooke
Sep 15, 2020As a build toward Amazing Spider-Man #850, this book works. It sets things up, allows new readers to pick the story up here, and establishes plenty of surprises to follow. However, if you've read Amazing Spider-Man #48, it also feels a bit unnecessary save for a couple reveals. That said, it also sets up the milestone issue to feel even bigger, requiring a lead-in comic to get the full experience. In that way then it works and is definitely worth reading. Read Full Review

Comic Book Revolution - Kevin Lainez
Sep 17, 2020If you are reading "Sins Rising" in the main series then Amazing Spider-Man: The Sins of Norman Osborn is a must read. Nick Spencer provides a lot of key details for the story with Spider-Man, Sin-Eater, Norman Osborn, and the newly formed Order of the Web. The choice to make this important chapter in "Sins Rising" be told in a one-shot is questionable. Fans who do pick this issue up will get a lot out of it heading into Amazing Spider-Man #49.

Comics: The Gathering - Harlan Ivester
Sep 16, 2020I’m afraid that this issue may disappoint some readers only because of the implications of its title vs. the actual story, but that story is certainly good enough by its own merits. I haven’t been 100% onboard with this arc, but Spencer is pulling me in by ramping up the tension with each new chapter. The artists communicate so much in each panel while maintaining an appreciated room for subtlety. If all that doesn’t sound good enough for you, you’ll want to read it anyway because you’ll otherwise be pretty confused when the next issue comes around. Read Full Review

This is just Amazing Spider-Man #48.5. Nick Spencer needed another issue or so to tell his story, but that would've ruined the anniversary issue timing. But hey, more Spider-Man? I'm down for that. We finally see why The Order of the Web is working to stop Spider-Man and we get a lot of revelations regarding Norman, and a major development regarding Kindred (in my opinion). I loved this issue. I read it quicker than I read some normal sized issues. It just went so fast. I cannot wait for 850, or really, all of Last Remains or whatever comes next! I'm just very excited about all of this.

It is good. Very good. I don't want to spoil anything but don't think you can guess what will happen in this and in the #850 issue.

Great in every single way. This builds up ASM 850 and gives us TWO major plot twist regarding Norman Osborn and the Ravencroft. Funnily enough, Sin-Eater has ended up in the background despite the story arc title. Spencer is a very talented writer and reading this as a huge Spider-Man fan is even better, as I can recognize lots of references and easter eggs.

Another solid issue, I like how this is all unfolding.

It was a good tie in that to me was a little more effective in setting the stakes than the last ASM. I am ready for 850.

This is just a one-shot that was approved so Marvel could charge us another dollar rather than be vol. 6 #49, concluding in #50. No. If it was that way they couldn't charge us about $15 for the next 2 issues in a row. Oh, well, Marvel always did put Profit first. I think it's ran by Ferengi or something. Anyway, This is really nothing special. Just a one-shot to fill in a gap. Though this story is getting a little stale it is still pretty exciting. Spider-Man knows the Sin-Eater will be more dangerous than Norman with his power and likely insanity, forcing him to have to protect the guy he hates most. Sucks to be him. Too bad such misery for him makes for such interesting storytelling.

AKA "ASM 48.5" AKA "Oops, Nick Spencer dawdled and now he needs 30 extra pages to set up legacy #850 properly."
