    Baby Sitting

    Cover

    The cover art is great. I have recognized the cover art for this story arc has been very well drawn and thought out.

    Story

    Doctor Octopus has Spider-man, Carlie, Harry, and MJ captive. Spider-man. Spider-man tries to get some leverage and he escapes from Doctor Octopus’s grasp. When he gets out of his grasp Doctor Octopus lets go of the others. Spider-man gets the baby and runs away. A news helicopter sees Spider-man holding a innocent baby. They now think Spider-man has stolen him. They need to get him under arrest. As Spider-man tries to go to the hospital to bring the baby to safety Electro attacks him. Back with Harry, MJ and Carlie Harry and MJ are going to get Lily to safety but, Carlie wants to find peter and goes looking for him.   After Spider-man is done with Electro the police go after Spider-man. Then the Sandman joins in. He falls into a building and they have him captive. As Carlie looks for Peter Tombstone is ready to grab her.

    Good Part

    I kind of like how much Carlie cares for Peter not to leave him.

    Worst Part

    I felt like all Peter was doing was running away from trouble while holding a baby the whole issue. It was boring and they really just dragged it out for too long.

    Art

    I really hate the art. The art would be good if it was in another series but, it just does not fit for Spider-man.

    Pick it up or not

    Do not pick it up!!!

    I agree it's a chase issue but it's still better than OMIT any day of the week. Nice work don't agree with the rating and it should be a pick up if just for the cover and all the classic villains featured in the issue

    Personally, I really enjoyed this issue.  The story isn't the strongest, but that's not what matters here it seems.  I really like the constant struggle Spider-man goes through and I love the fighting and running, such awesome stuff.

      Spider-Man has to race across town with a newborn in hand while every NYC cop and his entire rogue's gallery comes gunning for him.  The Good Waid and the rest of ASM writing staff have done a great job of updating Spidey and his mythos to the times while still keeping them true to their roots. So is definitely classic Spidey - - Peter can't catch a break as the entire world seems against and, of course, the first thing to suffer is his social life. But then there's the also the added complicat...

           Having been my second sinlge issue of Amazing Spider-Man in about 15 years, I was expecting abou the same as last issue, and that is what I got. I was expecting great character writing and a sense of urgency as per Spider-Man's  mission to keep Lily Holister/Norman Osborn's baby safe and away from the villians after him. I really enjoyed Peter's little talking bits to the baby in this issue and how he banters to get himself through situations like dealing with Sandman and Electro at the ...
