After two lackluster issues, we are hit with yet another issue of Amazing Spider-Man. How does this one fare you ask? Read on.


This issue continues Spidey's adventures with the Fantastic.....I mean, Future Foundation. Besides the ending, the main problem with this issue is that it feels like it should be an issue of FF, not Amazing. With that said, this issue is still miles ahead of the previous two. It's still a fun comic.


I don't know, Spidey's part of too many teams. The the thing I didn't like about this issue was that, well.....he was always quipping a joke! Sure, I don't mind.....to a certain point. I like Spidey's serious years back in the late 80's to mid 2000's.


The art's an improvement over the last. I'm not really a big fan of last issue's retro style.


Oh, I really didn't like Carlie in this one. I mean, I can't blame her for feeling a little rejected, but getting drunk and getting the "Goblin cult" tattoo is not exactly the brightest idea. I'm sorry, but she's now my least favorite love interest in the Spideyverse.


We also get a two page prelude to the upcoming event Spider-Island. It's an interesting teaser. We also get a continuation of "Spider-Man Meets Ghost Rider." A fun little backup.


In closing, not a bad comic, just not great. However, if the ending's any indication, the next issue should be epic.


I give this issue a 3/5.
