Amazing Spider-Man #26 is written by Zeb Wells, penciled by John Romita Jr., inked by Scott Hanna, colored by Marcio Menyz and Erick Arciniega, and lettered by Joe Caramagna. Tony Thornley: It’s…
I love good all-ages comics. I’m a parent of two small boys. Both love reading, and the youngest has recently started his first ever pull list. It’s made the lack of all-ages books in general glaring to me. Frankly, there should be Spider-Man and Batman all-ages books being published at all times. While the latter…
Spider-Man comes to the City of Angels as a cosmic horror hits the town too from Taboo, B. Earl, Juan Ferreyra, and Travis Lanham in Deadly Neighborhood Spider-Man #1! No one quite knew what to expect from Deadly Neighborhood Spider-Man, especially not me. Cracking the issue open, I was surprised. Where I expected a story…
Using the magic of science (science!), mysticism and a few bored brains (ok, one bored brain), I’ve managed to connect with Jude from universe 777-9311 for a joint review of Miles Morales #40. Continue to read…if you dare! (Maniacally cryptic music plays in background) 616 Jude: …so you’re telling me where you’re from, housing is…
Miles Morales #39 doesn’t really ask a lot of questions – not explicitly. I’d argue it’s not concerned with asking or pausing at all – this issue is about momentum. And you know, that’s okay. Sometimes you can’t do and think at the same time. Sometimes doing is enough. And Miles Morales #39 does quite…

Peter Parker’s life…changes forever? It’s a brand new Amazing Spider-Man #1, this time from writer Zeb Wells, penciler John Romita Jr., inker Scott Hanna, colorist Marcio Menyz, and letterer Joe Caramagna. The most remarkable thing about Amazing Spider-Man #1, really, is how unremarkable it is. Peter and MJ’s final moments at the conclusion of the…
It’s a large world, yes, but it’s also very small. I find that niche communities— say, I don’t know, comic review sites, dispersed around the world as they may be— cultivate a connected community. So as a member of this connected comics community, I’ve been more than tangentially aware of a few illustrators and writers…
It’s Spider-Man vs. Spider-Man as “Beyond” comes to a close in Amazing Spider-Man #93 written by Zeb Wells, art by Patrick Gleason, colors by Bryan Valenza, and letters by Joe Caramagna! The illusion of change is the ultimate backbone of serialized comics. Amazing Spider-Man #93 is both a great example of it, and leans into…
It begins with a ping in my pocket. It’s Monday afternoon, a little bit after 3 EST. A Slack notification has gone off, and lo and behold, our comic collection for the week has dropped. I work a full time job (thank goodness, despite how I feel in the mornings), so I can’t always read…
A lot of people will tell you that Miles Morales has a branding problem. Depending on who you ask — or, more likely, who’s offering you their unsolicited opinion — there are two trains of thought that’ll lead to that conclusion. The first, typically loudest, is that Miles is held back by being a legacy…
