Amazing Spider-Man #571

Well, with only two chapters remaining, I can't wait to see how this will end and what will be left open for later. This is easily one of the most entertaining comic book reads of the year and if you're not reading New Ways to Die, you are seriously missing out. Read Full Review

Part of being a fan is being patient, and I suspect that eventually, the "One Day More" storyline will be "corrected," and we'll see Spider-Man get back to his amazing self.

New villains aside, the most rewarding element of this story has been Peter's interaction with more familiar faces, like Venom/Gargan, Osborn, and Brock -- and having Romita Jr. draw it should only please fans who want to feel a little more of the Spider-Man magic that they've missed with all the focus on spinning a new web to surround the character. Readers were promised a blockbuster story this summer, and now over halfway through, it's already certain that it's living up to those expectations. Read Full Review

Still, that aside, "New Ways To Die" is still a big hulking improvement for the title and unequivocally the best story it's told since the new status quo set in.

Osborn was a bit dumb at the end, but the Menace scene was a pure gold all around
