Amazing Spider-Man #8

Oh, boy. I can't help but think we have our very first ASM stinker here today, ladies and gents! It's time to take a look at Amazing Spider-Man #8, featuring Pete Parker fighting Flash Thompson, The Living Brain, and a guest appearance by the Human Torch. What's that? You don't know who the Living Brain is? Well, there's probably a pretty good reason for it. This is once again brought to us by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko, with letters from Art Simek. It's been a classic combination so far, so here's hoping it continues! Considering the only other classic thing that happens in this issue is Pete losing his glasses,  I'm hoping at least Steve Ditko's art will take the edge off.

Amazing Spider-Man #5

After a really, really, really long hiatus, Every Amazing Spider-Man Reviewed is back and fresher than ever! Striving to be the only online repository for detailed reviews of every Amazing Spider-Man issue, we figure it's going to be at least five years before we are even close. Maybe after that we'll start Every Action Comics Reviewed, which should see me safely to retirement. The images on the site are not mine, but are used in accordance with Fair Use in the United States, and the opinions are strictly mine. After for straight issues of world building and brand new villains, things are shaken up with Issue #5 as the Marvel Universe is tied neatly together. Yes, the villain for this issue is Doctor Doom, a man both hilarious and frightening at the same time. A man whose ego knows no bounds. How does he do against the quips of the ol' Webhead? Let's find out, and see if we finally break our four issue streak of perfect issues!
