    The Beetle Huh.... 1

    The Amazing Spider-Man #21 - Where Flies the Beetle by englentine on April 11, 2008

    Okay, I have to say that the Beetle is one of the lamest of Spidermans villains. I even think I saw him on one of the episodes of Spiderman and his Amazing Friends. I do not remember if I was as underwhelmed as I am here. Probably not I loved that cartoon. This however is the comic book, and I can't believe that Stan The Man Lee, thought he would need both Spiderman and The Human Torch to bring down this Mort. I wasn't to impressed with the writing, and I know I don't mention art too often, it ...

    Torch and Spidey fight over a girl (well not exactly)...and the Beetle too.     "Am I destined to go through life as a professional 'fall guy'? Why must i be a costumed, super-powered sad sack?" - Spider-ManOne thing i like about this issue is the character contrast; Johnny Storm vs Peter Parker in the eyes of Johnny's (current) girlfriend Dorris and also Spiderman vs Torch.  Same people, yes, and what's even cooler is how Johnny weighs out Pete and Spidey. The 2 guys aren't friends yet.Also as ...

    The relationship between Spider-Man and The Human Torch is one of the most schizophrenic in comics. As often as they meet and team-up, you'd think they'd have more respect for each other, or a better understanding of each others character and powers - nope. When the Human Torch's girlfriend calls saying she's in danger, and he gets to her place and it's wrecked and there are traces of webbing lying around - does he assume there's been a fight, possibly with The Beetle, who he knows is on the loo...

    The Amazing Spider-Man #21 - Where Flies the Beetle by comicgeek98 on April 23, 2014

    So i just read TAS issue 21 "Where the beetle flies". This was my first encounter with Abner Jenkins AKA The Beetle. I tought TB was a cool villain and put a good match up against spider man in the issue. What i did not like was the dialog and the overall story. It was kinda lame and not very intresting. The last fight between the human torch, the beetle and spiderman is the highlight in my opinion. Overall decent story....
