The Amazing Spider-Man #595

this is the first issue in the american son arc, which has been pumped up by marvel for a while now. i've been a spidey fan for a long time now and i'm excited about this story line even though i'm not in love with the whole dark reign saga. this issue doesn't reveal too much and is definitely a intro issue, but it's pretty awesome. i like the art and the style, all except petes jimmyeatworld-esque hair cut haha. basically, the out of costume stuff is just ok, but everything else is cool. the story is good so far, although obviously were still waiting for the rest to turn out hopefully just as good. theres a pretty brutal part with spidey throwing osborn that included a full page remake of the classic ASM #39 where goblin has spider-man, except this one is reversed. i think that should of been the cover, but oh well. anyways i love seeing spider-mans dark side. and although a lot of the dark reign tie-ins arent actually very tied in, this story is spidey trying to take osborn down, so i think its gunna be a big deal.
