REVIEW: Amazing Spider-Man #57

“[L]ike watching the bowling ball slowly roll back up.“ Amazing Spider-Man vol. 5 #57 January 13, 2021 Written by: Nick Spencer Art by: Mark Bagley Recap We open with Kingpin and Osborn hauling Kindred away. Kindred narrates that Spider-Man should enjoy the “happy ending.” Spider-Man and Mary Jane share a confusing reunion. The Order of the Web then asks him what happened. He said, “I don’t know.” Spider-Gwen tells them all he’s holding back but Madame Web says they will discuss it later. We cut forward to the end of the last issue. Spider-Man bullies Osborn, demanding answers. Norman says…

REVIEW: Amazing Spider-Man #56

“[T]his feels like a season premiere of a good television show.” Amazing Spider-Man vol. 5 #56 January 6, 2021 Written by: Nick Spencer Art by: Mark Bagley Recap We start with a flashback in which Norman Osborn agrees to help Mayor Fisk capture Kindred and Mayor Fisk admits to dabbling in the Darkforce Dimension. We then flash somewhat forward to see that Fisk has rigged the Spot to imprison Kindred in a darkforce cube (well, rectangular prism). We finally arrive at the present in a futuristic room at Ravencroft where technicians explain that the cube is holding Kindred prisoner, but…

ASM Classics Episode 30: ASM 42 & 43, with Brad Douglas

This is it, folks! This is the one you’ve been waiting for! Amazing Spider-Man 42 and 43 bring us the first appearance of Mary Jane Watson, the woman Peter will ask to be his wife in the culmination of all of Aunt May’s machinations.

ASM Classics Episode 29: Annual 3 & ASM 41

The Rhino’s on the Rampage, and the Avengers want Spider-Man to bring in the Hulk! In other words, just another day at the office for the ASM Classics gang! This time out, Jon, Josh, and Don are joined by Dr. Bond Benton, professor at SUNY Fredonia. He actually talks comics in class for a living, so we wanted to have him come share in the fun of classic Spidey goodness! In Amazing Spider-Man 41, Spidey is faced with the inaugural Rhino adventure, as Jonah Jameson’s son John returns from the cobwebs of Spidey’s first issue, but what’s this he says…

ASM Classics Episode 26: Daredevil 17 & Amazing Spider-Man 38

Farewell, Steve Ditko. We hardly knew thee. This episode of Amazing Spider-Man Classics wraps up the tenure of the artist who helped to create our beloved webslinger and guide him down the most formative steps of his publishing history. With the circumstances surrounding his departure being what they were, it is sadly not the best note on which to depart, but before we talk about A Guy Named Joe in Amazing Spider-Man 38, the Classics gang (continuing to be assisted by Jim Wilson of JimWilsonDesigns, my brother and this website’s designer) finishes out Johnny Romita’s Spider-baptism by fire in Daredevil 17.Original…

ASM Classics Episode 25: Daredevil 16 and ASM 37

Hello there from all the gang here at Amazing Spider-Man Classics! This episode, we are back to begin taking a look at the transition from Steve Ditko to John Romita. Romita had the joys of drawing Spider-Man for a two-part Daredevil story, the end of which happened to coincide with Steve Ditko quitting Amazing Spider-Man. So in this episode, we are diving into the first part of that story, Daredevil 16, where Daredevil’s new foe, the Masked Marauder, incites some enmity between Hornhead and Webhead as part of his evil plot. Then we switch over to Steve Ditko’s penultimate outing…

ASM Classics Episode 24: Amazing Spider-Man 35 and 36

Thanks for coming back to see us here at Amazing Spider-Man Classics. The three Classicists are all by themselves this time out for a couple of lackluster issues that bring us closer to Steve Ditko’s departure from the title. In Amazing Spider-Man 35, The Molten Man Regrets the shameful things that happened between him and the webhead before, but that doesn’t stop him from coming back for more. Then a right-out loony manages to get superpowers from some rock gas and begins looting, and thus we have the birth of the Looter. All this, and some real treats from Ditko’s…

ASM Classics Episode 23: Amazing Spider-Man 33 & 34

Welcome back to the show, everyone! In this latest episode, the Master Planner trilogy comes to its oh so dramatic conclusion, and Scott Gardner of the Two True Freaks! family of podcasts helps us get there. Then, Kraven is once again on the prowl, and the team is joined by Brad Douglas of the Spider-Man Crawlspace. Peter’s life takes some significant turns in these two issues, and Jon, Don, and Josh help you laugh at every one of them. Cuz that’s why they’re called COMICS!
