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!

Amazing Spider-Man #2!

Every hero is, ultimately, defined by their villains. Batman wouldn't be nearly as cool if he spent all of his time hanging out at the local middle school scaring away drug dealers. Superman would probably be less impressive if all he ever did was rescue treed cats and the occasional frog in front of a lawn mower. Luckily for Spider-Man, this is something that Stan Lee understood very well. In his first appearance, his biggest foes were himself and the burglar that killed his uncle, and to be honest these would always be his biggest foes. To have these quickly followed in the first issue of Amazing Spider-Man with J. Jonah Jameson and the Chameleon is definitely a plus! For this issue, we get introduced to the terrifying, gravity-defying Vulture and the Tinkerer.
