Do you ever get nostalgic? That feeling of longing for a time gone by? Do you ever yearn to return to the good old days when you knew who your heroes were and Dan Slott was verbally assaulted on a regular basis – you know, this January?

Things have taken a decidedly dark turn in the story of our less than friendly neighborhood Spiderman. Last issue we saw the superior Spiderman execute a criminal at point-blank range. Despite the real Peter Parker’s earlier successes in controlling Otto, it seems that the influence of Peter’s memories has only made this Spiderman more driven to wipe out crime, by any means necessary. This week, old Parktopus takes on Youtube. Continue reading
Right on the heels of its predecessor, here comes another installment in the adventures of your not-so friendly neighborhood Spiderman. Since taking over for Peter Parker, our new and ‘improved’ Spidey has taken on a D-list Sinister Six and saved MJ with a web net. That’s essential Spidey, but it’s all been rather tame.

After what feels like forever, we’re back with our friendly neighborhood Spiderman. Well, maybe not our Spiderman… Obviously this review’s gonna be spoiling the new status quo for the Spider-Man titles so if you’re still unaware you should either wait it out, catch yourself up with my reviews of Amazing Spider-Man #700 and Superior Spider-Man #1, or dive right in.

And so we come out the other side.

Well the wait is finally over. After a long and arduous wait that grew only worse after the book was released, I have a copy of Amazing Spider-Man #700. The simple assumption that I’m operating under is that, whether you’ve been spoiled or not, you know whether or not you want this comic. I’ll tell you here that it’s solidly executed, but honestly it’s the last issue of Amazing Spider-Man, you’re either interested or you’re not. I’m still working on figuring out a system for denoting the spoiler level of my posts that I like but consider yourself warned: HERE THERE BE SPOILERS. If we’re going to have a meaningful conversation about this issue we’re going to need to have them here. So if that didn’t scare you off continue down into our look at the end of an era.
