    Not The Only Wall-Crawler


    Amazing Spider-Man #30 (or #471, depends on who's keeping track) Is the start of a long run by J. Michael Stracynski(JMS for short).  In the lead off issue for JMS, Peter goes back to his old high school to find it has become a much tougher place for the kids to learn.  And after delivering a 'bully beatdown' on some kids as Spider-Man, he finds a barefoot man wall-crawling next to him. 
     
    JMS' writing is great, he sets up a lot, new characters, a new mystery, and maybe a new job.  JMS introduces Ezekiel(who can walk on walls) and Morlun(apparently some kind of vampire?) in a way that is fluid and not forced.  John Romita Jr. and Scott Hanna are great team, and Dan Kemp colors compliment them very well.  Wrap it all up in a cover by J.Scott Campbell, and you've got a winner.   Reading the next issue is a no brainer.
