Amazing Spider-Man #605

Amazing Spider-Man has had a few months of really strong stories, and this issue continues its streak. After a number of issues with Spider-Man fighting actual supervillains, it's refreshing to have an issue of Peter Parker and Mary Jane battling real life, and the writers having fun with it along the way.

At $3.99, this book is a little pricier than a regular issue of Amazing Spider-Man--and given the anthology format, and the fact that not a huge amount of note occurs within its pages, that might be enough to dissuade many readers from buying it. Still, for those who like to measure the worth of a book by its page count, there are 48 story pages in this issue, which makes it a better value in terms of the price-per-page than most issues on the stands.

So many artists work on this issue that its jarring and shows the weakness of the story. Its not good. Pulidos work fits better a crime noir or period piece. It looks out of place in Spider-man. I felt his work was weak, but upon looking at it again, it was enjoyable. It just isnt Spider-man material. Ross work looks frozen The characters dont feel like they are moving. Its not even that they are showing up to take still poses. They just feel out of whack. Paquettes work is the best here and actually makes this issue salvageable visually. But he can only hide the weakness of the script so much. Read Full Review

. There is a lot of story in this issue and normally I have no problem ponying up $3.99 for an expanded page count, but too much of the issue was fluff. It is interesting to see exactly why Peter and MJ broke up and the last story was forgettable fun, but the vast majority of this issue is "Avoid It" worthy and the strength of these better moments can only carry the issue so far.

It was longer, than needed, but anyway, quite a cool filler. The second story was probably odd and made solely to tease what's coming next, but the first one about MJ was great. The last one was at least funny, so not a bad one either.
