Amazing Spider-Man #60

Amazing Spider-Man #60essentially acts as a one-act play, letting Peter Parker bare his soul while laying down the next step in Nick Spencer's master plan. The next issue offers a new costume for Spider-Man and a new job, and I hope that both continue to steer Peter back to where he was when writer J. Michael Straczynski was writing Amazing Spider-Man.

Bagley delivers some brilliant imagery throughout this issue. The characters look great and the character focus of the issue allows for the art to showcase character emotion. Read Full Review

I'm really hoping that Spencer and Bagley continue this run for a long, long time. They play very well off each other, and the true winner is the reader!! Read Full Review

Nick Spencer delivers a great read while Mark Bagley pulls his weight with fantastic art. Spencer continues to carry on the Kindred saga by peppering in these stories around other arcs, and while he's done this before throughout the early half of his run, this Kindred-related intermission is one of the more engaging ones. If Spencer is going to draw out the Kindred saga even longer, I welcome more stories like this one. Read Full Review

Amazing Spider-Man #60 was a strong return to form to what Nick Spencer does best with his run on this series. The focus on Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson made the progress in the ongoing Kindred Saga much more compelling. While some may not like the fact that One More Day and Brand New Day are being brought back into play Spencer has done enough to create investment in at least giving these plot elements a chance to be explored within this ongoing story.

An intensely emotional issue, that makes up for it's lack of setting change through its powerful dialogue. Read Full Review

Peter Parker confronts his trauma in a touching monologue, although we're still light on answers as we return to the mystery of Kindred. Hope is on the horizon with a huge cliffhanger that could have some dire consequences for the wall-crawler. Read Full Review

Either way, if there's anything to take from this, it's that the comic is finally bringing this up and will be actively exploring the storyline. It'll probably remain in the background until Spencer finishes his upcoming Crime War arc. Read Full Review

Loved that we get to a bit of healing for Peter before the next arc and affirms a solid grasp on his strongest relationship. Even thought Last Remains didn't hit the mark fully the ending for this issues opens many things and will surely have fans pumped for what comes next

Best issue of an already amazing run

These last few issues have been an epilogue to Last Remains and I've enjoyd each part more and more. And this one especially nails it. Even though Last Remains was a bit disappointing in the end, this issue feels to fix it in so many ways. The art is great (as usual by Bagley) and Spencer's writing is truly great. We finally hear what Peter has to say about Kindred and it is as good as expected. Spencer has written this series very well mostly and this continues to showcase why I love his take on Spidey.

There is not much to add to this review other than it was just a great number. Peter has been through a lot and god that woman MJ is just an oak, a woman who is a civilian but has a lot of hero, a perfect match. I was worth every penny invested in this comic.

Emotional, I love it, MJ as always being his anchor is a couple that fascinates me, indisputably the best couple in comics.

This was a great emotional issue. I really hope the Mephisto tease means we're on our way to undoing OMD.

It's very good but I have no idea why this wasn't done 5 issues back. I like Spencer but this run has way too much filler and drag. The ideas are great and few issues are exceptional but the sum is very OK. I hope he ends it well. Bagley is fantastic as usual and gives it the classic feel it was going for.

MJ takes the reins, putting Peter through a tormented but cathartic bit of soul-searching. Ratcheting the scale down as small as possible pays off here, with excellent emotional work coming out of the intense script. The art is also on point in this issue; Mark Bagley serves up a reminder that he's a GOOD fast Spider-artist. This script needs a lot of nuanced, emotional faces and Mr. Bagley absolutely delivers.

This was a good issue, and to be able to have actual progression for a character that's almost 60 years old is itself quite a feat. However, Spencer needs to cross the finish line competently for this story or his run will be regarded as one of the most meaningless runs in SM history.

The Amazing Spider-Man Volume: 5, Issue: 60, LGY: 861 “No Exit” Publisher: @marvel Writer: Nick Spencer Artist: @marceloferreirahq Inker: John Dell & Andrew Hennessy Colorist: @rachelle_cheri Cover: @officialmarkbagleyart, John Dell & @nathanfairbairn Letterer: @joecaramagna Kindred’s plan master plan was interrupted when Norman Osborn and the Kingpin trapped him in a Darkforce cage. Desperate to save his son, Norman pleaded to Peter to help reform his son, but Peter refused and vowed to never be involved with the Osborn family ever again. The “Last Remains” event shook Peter to his bones and he has been on edge since its conclusion. Peter now finds himself struggling from the trauma from his best friend Har ry, aka Kindred. This issue lacked action throughout as its main focus is to have Peter face the trauma and his repressed guilt over the events of “Last Remains.” He decides to finally unburden himself. Meanwhile, this issue adds a different unexpected dynamic as someone close to him hides a secret about Kindred. This issue was a great emotional journey for Peter despite having little action. I personally love the effect that Kindred had on Peter as well as him still lingering in a way. This issue highlights both the recent and longer looming problems Peter is facing. There was a definitive OMD reference in this issue as people close to Peter attempt to find out what is wrong with his soul! I can’t wait to see what happens next. Spencer’s run had its ups and downs, but lately I’m absolutely loving ASM! This art team is probably my favorite crew as their work continues to amaze me. I hope they stay together for a while.

This issue was interesting enough but a little weak. The last page shows that Nick Spencer may be trying to undo the damage One More Day seemed to do over a decade ago. Personally I never did read it so I don't know much about it. But from what I do know I'd say it has a major part in Kindred's origin. I'm wondering if he's even Harry at all. This could have been part of what Mephisto's planned all along. Harry did return from the dead around that point, but was it ever really Harry? Perhaps he's still as dead and has been since Spectacular #200. It's only a theory though. I hope we see more of this confrontation between Dr. Strange and Mephisto in the next issue and not have to wait a dozen or more issues to learn what happened. I hate wh en they do that to us. I had a feeling Kindred wasn't anywhere near through messing with Spidey's life. He has yet to begin in fact. When we do get our answers and the big showdown is imminent we'll also learn where Mysterio fits in and what he knows. I also wonder if Kindred has any interest in the tablets and is waiting for the Kingpin to nearly claim victory, then he pounces. All I know is a lot of what's happened lately is going to all tie into something big. Spider-Man is more exciting than it has been in many moons, and I hope it keeps on going this well. In this age of "Money is EVERYTHING" comics it's good to have a title that fans can enjoy as well as reviewers. more

What I like about Spencer's writing on Spider-Man is that his writing is very retro, if you would have some art from the 60s in the background this would totally fit in that era.

Pretty solid issue. I dont mind the decompression of it as much as others but it would be cool to get in with something else

Is this a real issue? A whole issue about... Nothing? Nothing happens. And when it does it looks out of place. The MJ story-arc smells like sh*t. The only redeeming part is the last page (no spoiler).

This issue is a total character issue. It's definitely not about nothing.

Federico Liguori - Feb 27, 2021

If you're not bored by Spider-Man crying and blaming himself for everything after 50 years good for you. This is just dragging.

Psycamorean - Feb 27, 2021

I guess you missed the point of the issue.

Federico Liguori - Feb 27, 2021

I guess you have a different opinion and that's fine. Seeing the whole Kindred thing getting dragged on for months to see MJ working with a criminal and Peter crying for 5 issues is more than enough for me.

Psycamorean - Feb 27, 2021

Oh you're one of those lol. Carry on.

Federico Liguori - Feb 27, 2021

You can carry on. Go somewhere else, nobody will be bothered. Trust me.

Psycamorean - Feb 27, 2021

Nick Spencer has ruined Spider-Man. How many issues has he written where Spider-Man only shows up on one page? Too many, in my opinion. This used to be my #1 book every month but now I dread reading it. His storylines over the past two years have been a joke. And now he’s goi g to tarnish the legacy even more with a new, hideous costume. God help up.
