In Loving Memory...
Marla Jameson is dead, and Spider- Man blames himself.
The Good: First off, I love this cover. It's my favorite one this week actually. So, where this issue picks up is right after Marla's death. The opening of the book is completely silent, and it does a terrific job telling the story with Martin's art alone. You can clearly tell how each person feels, the emotion is there. The second half of this issue feels like a different book, it's about Peter's nightmare which is all about people that have died because of his "lifestyle." It was really trippy and the artwork is amazing in all parts. For me, the art felt like classic Spider- Man. I say this every time an issue of Amazing Spider- Man comes out, this book has been amazing since Dan Slott took over.
The Bad: After reading this, I read Fantastic Four #588. While the death in this title was handled really well, Fantastic Four did it better, however, that doesn't take anything away from this title. Having two issues dealing with death in the same week in a similar way actually made me notice that there have been a lot of deaths, and recently too, That kind of lessens the impact of this issue. That wasn't a huge problem for me though.
