    Sometimes revenge is not always the best answer

      

    Cover

    I really like the art for the cover because it is pretty simple and I like simple better than going abstract and having the art coming bad. The concept of the cover was also very nice because the issue really did center a lot with Betty and Peter’s movie night.

    Story

    Peter has been busy with his life as Spidey and his new job at horizon labs and really has not have a lot of time for Betty. When Betty really wants to see a movie and Peter cannot see it she goes and sees it by herself and gets jumped. Now she is in the hospital and Spidey is looking for the person who did this to her and wants revenge.

    Best Part

    We have not seen Betty in Amazing Spider-man in a while and it was nice to see her again because I always thought of her as a really good for Peter. This issue really does show how close they are. But when someone close to Peter gets hurt he always blames himself and always sets out to revenge. I think in this issue he finally see that playing the revenge card is not always the best thing to do. Maybe sometimes being with the people you love is more important. I think in this issue Peter has finally learned that. Which I am very happy to see because it took Peter a pretty long time to figure that out.

    Worst Part

    I felt that Aunt May was a little out of character in this issue when she was trying to convince Peter to go to the hospital. Aunt May would usually never shove Uncle Ben’s death in Peter’s face. In this issue she talks to Peter and tells him how she was alone when Uncle Ben died and Peter left for the whole night. She is usually the wise one and I thought she would of understood that everyone takes death differently and maybe that is just how Peter took death.

    Art

    Spider-man’s art usually changes a lot and sometimes I hate it and sometimes I love it. With this issue I really liked it. Sometimes the simple art is the best. This art was simple with a little jazz but too much. I thought it really fit the issue well.

    Pick it up or not

    Pick it up!!!

      Synopsis: When one of Peter's closest friends lands up in the hospital because of a mugging, what is more important: The mugger or his friend? What's Good? I had no idea what to expect in this issue before reading it. I assumed that they would be some kind of prequel to Spider-Island, however, to my surprise that there isn't even one. Instead, Dan Slott focuses on Peter putting his superhero gig over family and friends. Betty Brant is such an important character in Peter's life. It amazes me tha...

      Movie Night 0

      Surprisingly, I liked the story of this issue! I thought this issue would be a waste of time just used to bridge the gap between a great story arc and an upcoming great story arc. But, I liked the story and enjoyed it. It was probably the 3rd place out of the 4 issues I picked up this week, Ultimate Fallout, Captain America, this, and Ultimate Avengers Vs New Ultimates. But anyways, getting back to the issue at hand, this plot explores Peter and Betty's relationship. Their not a couple, but they...
