Amazing Spider-Girl #27 Review

Hello Folks, Night Two of our Spider-Girl Catch Up is here! Last issue we got Clones running around, the Spider-Girl Universe version of Freaky Friday, with our Ever Illustrious Heroine in trouble with Arana‘s cult, and BT going after Spider-Girl because of some weird freaky obsession thing. Oh, Aunt May is guiding May too, Least that is what we’re supposed to believe, anyway…

Story: So we have May is Arana’s Body, Fighting off Arana’s Men, and when she jumps out the building, she realizes that she isn’t in her body and pays a small price. We also get Big Bad Tarantula showing his softer side to Arana-May. Meanwhile we get Nu-May in costume for the first time. With everyone’s Favorite son, Normie, with everyone’s Favorite Clone, Kaine, along with everyone’s favorite Ben Reilly son/DD clone, DarkDevil, working on how to get Peter back, they propose a trade, Norm for Peter. May also gets a hold of a Cell to get to Normie, who thinks that its someone else, which it is, with Arana’s Voice, and they have a bigger problem to issue, as Arana-May is making out with BT, who then knows who it really is instantly. We also get a Fury/Nu-May fight, spilling the beans on her fathers real identity, and just when she gets back to the site Peter zaps her to hell. We also get our May v Nu May fight, although we get it with Arana May, and it’s shortened due to the real May, unmasked, back home where she belongs.

THOUGHTS: So where do I begin? This was action packed. We get Nu-Peter, Nu-May v. May Round two, BT and Arana-May and May finally getting back where she belongs! This issue tied up all our sub-plots and put them into a nice bow, while getting May back in action as herself, we also finally should get a final battle royale with new May next issue. As I write this, it’ll be Wednesday, so our new issue will be flying off the shelves like it always does. Pick up your copy today!

Plugging over, now onto our Art: Again, a perfect issue. This art is amazingly good. I mean, this team is just pouring over this story mind body and soul. And the Homage’s are fricking amazing, the Splash Page of BT hitting Arana-May was straight out of one of Sal’s last issues, Spectacular Spider Man 230 Ben Reilly as Spider-Man’s first issue of Spectacular And Fury’s Eye close up is classic Romita Sr. So with that you have a 5 for 5 a rating just for the art alone.

As for the story, I loved it. The Pace was better this go around. Much more action and no Mall Rats. For the love of all that his holy, no Mallrats.

Review: 4.5 out of five folks. Can’t wait for NEXT ISSUE!
