The thing that kind of frustrates me about this run is how Zeb Wells starts off really strong, but couldn't keep the momentum and just falls flat. It's happened multiple times with his stories like Dark Web, Kamala Khan's death, Gang War, Spidey getting sins the first time, and now this.

The Comicbook Dispatch - dragoncache
Jul 17, 2024As Ms Marvel assembles a team of people more accustomed to using their minds than their fists, Spider-Man attempts to banish Norman's thoughts from his mind. Amazing Spider-Man #53 speaks to the duality inside each of us and reminds us of the importance of our mental health. Read Full Review

Jul 10, 2024For fight comic fans, Amazing Spider-Man #53 delivers. There's plenty of action and a wide variety of characters involved. Spider-Man is largely absent, but at least the story appears to be closing in on some kind of point and conclusion. Read Full Review

Plot Norman Osborn/Green Goblin puts all of Oscorp in Peter's name and awaits the arrival of Spider-Goblin, but what he gets is a team led by Ms Marvel with The Walking Brain, JJ Jameson, Curt Connors and Rek-Rap. This team was Peter's contingency plan in case the Green Goblin returned. The battle is tough. Peter fuses the Winkler Devise with Kraven's spear to attack the Green Goblin and remove him from Norman Osbron's mind and body at once. The Walking Machine discovers Green Goblin's plan, which consists of abandoning Norman's body and taking that of Spider-man, and achieves this thanks to Peter's modified spear. Shocking closing of this chapter where Green Goblin gains Spider-man's superpowerful mind and body. Art McGuin more

Art is great and holds the book up a lot for me. An ending we've already had a few issues ago? A questionable choice, which seems to be a theme of this entire run.

I'm more confused about this story than disappointed. Nothing here is bad, but it feels too overcrowded to be concluded in the next issue. There are so many characters here and this story tries to conclude so many plot threads that it hurts the pacing. I have more questions than anything. The cliffhanger is not as exciting as it tries to be. This is the second time ASM issue ends with Peter getting sins and the third time (second time in this story) where ASM issue ends with Peter going Goblin.

It is just bad and stale and recycled over and over. Nothing new or exciting in this book. The art from Nauck and McGuiness is the only thing that delivered.

spider-man getting corrupted by sins 3 times in this run in 20 issues is getting pretty old and stale.

Kamala got straight to the point with her emphatic *SIGH*. That's all I feel about this issue. It wasn't funny when it was trying to be, it never felt serious when it was trying to be. I really wish this wasn't how every arc felt with Wells. Solid start, terrible to boring middle, tacked on ending. Goblin originally felt like he could be an actual threat. That went right out the window. As soon as he's taken slightly off guard by Peter not being possessed, Peter is able to absolutely run through him when Goblin was previously obliterating Peter 2 issues ago. He's suddenly weak because he has to be. It's so anti-climactic. And now we are right back where we were like 20 something issues ago. Wells wrote a good story. Now he's trying to go ba more

What an underwhelming book. Is it bad? Technically no, but it's just so boring and redundant.
