Amazing Spider-Man: Chameleon Conspiracy #1

All of the artist bring some amazing visual flair to every page and panel. There are great character moments captured with light and shadow and the action moments are beautifully drawn and filled with great energy and excitement. Read Full Review

This story should be a stone grove winner for me. It has: the Chameleon, Chance, the Foreigner, a bevy of Jack O Lanterns and Chameleons, and Silver Sable, but Im afraid that the schedule got the best of Spencer, and bringing on Brisson came a little too late. The countdown to the end needs to land or else I fear Spencers run might fall flat. Read Full Review

Amazing Spider-Man returns this week with a giant-sized issue, and Chameleon Conspiracy wraps up some of its ends nicely before fraying a few more. Read Full Review

Giant-Size Amazing Spider-Man: The Chameleon Conspiracy #1 wraps up a rather convoluted storyline that doesn't quite stand up to the quality of other major storylines, though it does have great art. I hope that the upcoming Sinister War is crafted with more care and that Spencer leaves the title on a high note. Read Full Review

Giant-Size Amazing Spider-Man: Chameleon Conspiracy #1 wraps things up involving the Chameleon and the Clairvoyant. However, the story does far too much teasing of the truth behind the Chameleon and Teresa Parker. By the end, the comic provides a very predictable ending to the story that makes the whole storyline feel kind of pointless. Thankfully, the setup for the upcoming Sinister War looks far more fun and appealing than the concluded Chameleon Conspiracy. Read Full Review

The issue wraps up the storyline in explosive fashion (heh), with a host of cameos late foreshadowing new stories to come involving Silver Sable, Taskmaster and Black Ant, Kindred, Doctor Octopus, Kraven, and Electro. Read Full Review

Giant-Size Amazing Spider-Man: The Chameleon Conspiracy #1 is a complete mess. Every aspect of this storyline is rushed to the point you don't care about anything that happens or the characters involved. And when all is said and done you are just left with the feeling that Nick Spencer and Marvel are just trying to end this era of Amazing Spider-Man as quickly as possible. That unfortunately leads to an event like The Chameleon Conspiracy that ends up being nothing more than a filler story arc. Read Full Review

Annuals tend to be rushed, this is no exception, I had fun reading it.

Spencer begins to land the unknowns placed, however many subplots continue that require more depth in this regard. Gomez offers a perfect art, she fills us with intense action scenes during this issue.

Why can these never just be released in a graphic novel? It's just continuing a story going off on tangents. All this really did was get the Chameleon ready for the Sinister War, if also to ease fans about debates in relation to Spider-Man's sister. With the natural conclusion being: Nobody Cares!

On one hand I really liked certain parts and on the other, well it just didnt accomplish much, did it? It trys to come off like it did something wild but, it didnt. And the fact that we had to pay more to get another 1 shot is whack.

Chameleon Conspiracy wasn't much bad but also much good. It is just meh in every aspect. The only Thing that is cool concept is Chameleon Program thing. I am rating this 7 majorly because I want to see Chameleon Program thing explored. That's a cool thing Spencer added. Last issue I thought it would be like Clone Conspiracy but for me it is better than that. I don't know why this was even named Chameleon Conspiracy when Peter and Chameleon fight we never got to see. Instead we get Teresa ignoring him. Though the panel between Teresa and Peter, I liked it. It is just that I really want my Peter to have a sister. But Marvel is giving me reason for not caring about her character. Though I also say that Marvel shouldn't introduce that in first place. But now they have included them they seriously need to build the brother-sister bond. Please Marvel, do it. This story could change the fact also that Peter's parent were spies which TBH I never liked. It was a mistake. They could address this by that. Even Sins Past could be addressed by that. This Chameleon Program thing can address things I don't liked very easily. For Teresa I feel they should show that Teresa is Peter's real sister who is trained to become a Chameleon. Richard-Mary kiled by two Chameleon after Teresa birth. Teresa handed to them. Ben-May never got to know about this because Real deal died. Fake deal became Spies/Double Agents. But killed when fake deal planned to tell the truth. I don't want another loved one being snatched from Peter again. That's a trap I don't like. Give Peter a loved one and then snatch it. That's what they do it with Peter. Don't want that to happen again. more

This is probably the worst issue of this entire run for me. And maybe that's unfair, but is that really so harsh an assessment when I'm still giving it a seven? I just really think this arc needed to be split into two different arcs. And this is the issue that was going to make or break the entire thing, for me. I really don't think it landed. I didn't necessarily have a bad time reading this one, but like, it's hard to ignore that it didn't seem to matter in the end. The Clairvoyant is disposed of. Teresa's whole arc that's been building through this run for the past 2 years really ended up just putting her back in a more nebulous space after Zdarsky confirmed she was actually Peter's sister. I don't think that's worth it. I don't think th e Foreigner and Ned Leeds rivalry is very interesting. And why is Ned Leeds back with a pregnant Betty Brant? That's just so much to lay at the reader's feet so close to the end of this run. I'm just really disappointed with this one. I really hope some of this stuff gets more payoff in Sinister War because otherwise, I just don't understand the point. We'll see. At least Taskmaster and Black Ant will be back for Sinister War. That's always a plus when Spencer is writing them. more

This was probably the best chapter of this story, but that being said, it was also incredibly dull like the rest too. I just can't get into the concept of Teresa, because I've seen things like this too often for Spider-Man. Sooner or later she'll likely be revealed as a pawn in some villain's game to drive Spidey over the edge. Even if she has no idea. This was really a slow rather uninteresting story like King's ransom, showing Spencer may be cutting out at the right time. Let's hope sinister War turns out better like we're hoping.

Another "mystery" that isn't solved by Spencer by the end of the issue, nothing new here. He's actually a pretty good writer but he just loves going in circles a bit too much for my taste. This trick was cool once, twice but when you do it on and on at some point it gets tedious. And it got tedious some while ago, now it's just annoying. Still, like I said, he's a good writer and I'm looking forward to Sinister War.

Again the convoluted story telling that actually doesn't accomplish much for how much it goes on an on gets the better of this story. Again 3 different teams doing the art just kills the flow for me and I couldn't enjoy it because the art changes drastically every 2-3 pages. This feels like running out the clock to what's next. A waste of time and money.

Come on, really Spencer? Thanks to this type of delivery, we appreciate your departure from this series.😡

I had fun reading it and enjoyed the action and I liked the humor , but still it felt like too much was put here and it was not all connected, so it did not flow in a good way either. But even the things they tried to execute kinda fall flat for me, with few exceptions. So generally I would say that this was pretty forgettable.

It's all over the place. There isn't nearly enough Chameleon nor Spider-Man in this for my liking. I really don't know why this was called the Chameleon Conspiracy, because it sure didn't feel like that. This one has two storylines that feel very disconnected. And the part that Chameleon was the man behind T&M wasn't touched upon at all. So why even hint about that? I've liked Spencer's run very much, it has it's problems but it has still been pretty good. But this? This wasn't good. Not terrible, but certainly not good... And what is up with this synopsis? Nothing changes in Spider-Man's life. Nothing shooks him to the core. Because he missed every part that had anything to do with Chameleon. The synopsis of each issue are so miss leading and my grodd is it annoying. Why even have them if they don't tell what happens in the issue? more

Wait... The heck just happened? No no no, we're not good with this, Spencer. Was this written by a 7 year old who said "yey let's put dozens of villains and things happening at the same time"? Nothing works here! The dialogues are so generic, the art is terrible and I really don't get this hype about that stupid ass character Teresa Parker. Jesus Christ, I have a headache now.

When I see 2 writers, 4 artists, and 3 colorists credited for a non-anthology comic, I assume that I'm on the way to a trainwreck … and this issue lived down to my expectations. There are worse things to do at the end of an author's run than leave behind dangling plot threads. Like, say, tying them into a clumsy ol' granny knot. And this arc didn't even accomplish its stupid goal; the loose threads come out of the knot still loose.

Well.... this was a let down. The art was bland, the action was lackluster, the dialogue was all over the place, the pacing was terrible, for a story that is supposed to be about Spider-man and chameleon, you barely see Spider-man in this story. It's mostly Spider Man's SISTER for god sake. This ending did not change anything at all. Seriously, after Sins Rising it's like Nick Spencer lost his motivation because Last Remains was underwhelming and King's Ransom as well as Chameleon Conspiracy are terrible.
