    A little Otto-Spidey Time

    I've never been the biggest Sinister Six fan, and that is mostly because of it's roster. This story line though has given me a new appreciation for the group though. This issue follows up after the massive defeat Spider-man and the Avengers suffered the last issue. Spider-man manages to escape the clutches of Doc Ock with the help of Silver Sable, and the team decides to opt for a "taking peices off the board" approach, and the target of this issue is Sandman. Though more so a filler issue attempting to continue the story there is not much else here. It's still a very good read, but there's nothing about it that makes it stand out either. If you're following the "End's of the Earth" storyline then you probably will keep reading, because it doesn't break it's stride. I just wouldn't start with this issue, and pick up the previous two issues or at least the one before, so you know what's going on. For a battle issue though, it's still a very good read.

It's also great to see Spidey make some jokes despite the situation ( Though, it would be great to act a bit...

      Comic Review -- Amazing Spider-Man #684: The Ends of the Earth, p 0

      Originally posted on my blog, The Comics Cove, not too long ago...Spidey's trials and tribulations just never seem to end, for him and his allies in this case. This cover shot of him, Black Widow and Silver Sable all caught up in a titanic fight with a desert-powered Sandman really drives that point home and pulls readers in for this issue's story. The colors here are great, the action is intense, and Black Widow continues to do an excellent impression of Felicia Hardy by leaving her cleavage ex...
