It was a Day like any other day. Zach Joiner was Avoiding the Boss, Brad Douglas, for you see, Zach has been late on the Amazing Spider-Man Family Reviews, and BD was on the hunt Zach kept a low profile, but got found anyway told that he had to review this year Annual due to Mike Bailey being awesome and giving it to him because it has CLONES in it.
WRITER: Marc Guggenheim
PENCILS & INKS: Pat Olliffle
Cover By: Olivier Coipel
cal intro of a Villain, and Peter spends a lot of time fighting him, leading to some great quips, and some solid action, and in the end, we’re seeing a set up for the ‘Who IS BEN REILLY’ Arc, in October.
Finally, I want to end out our trip down the short term memory lane wiht some hopes for October:
1) I hope we see Kaine. (Brad Whispers in ear) WHAT? EPIC. WIN!
2) According to Dan Slott, Marc G. Will do TCS (The Clone Saga for those not in the know) Justice.
3) I hope that Raptor gets a little more interesting. Maybe he’ll grow on me. I trust Mike Bailey to let me know. 😉
Anyways, thanks to Mike Bailey for letting me review the big Annual, It was a lot of fun. And look for the ASM Family Reviews to come about sometimes before I die.
So, until Marvel gets owned by Disney-Er wait.
Rating: C+
EXCELSIOR!

You know, technically speaking May’s family is NOT related to Peter. Since Ben was Richard Parker’ s brother, May would only be related to Peter through marriage, sharing no blood with Peter. Therefore Peter hitting on his “cousins” would be perfectly acceptable. At least that’s how we see things here in eastern Canada, where anything goes.
Well actually I don’t know who’s art it was, but the one where ben has blonde hair and has the target pointed at him.
It took a while for my smile to go away once I saw the Dan Jurgens art being reused in this one. Hopefully this means Ben will be back in some way…
I thought it was a very good issue. But its good to hear other people’s viewpoints. thanks for the review
The flashbacks to The Clone Saga consisted of little more than comic covers, a few select pages of accurate art, and the biggest insult of all, mistaking Janine for Mary Jane. If that’s doing TCS “justice”, it’s all southern
I love the J3 Communications reference. Helluva reference at that! FTW!
That’s a really cool review format, with it getting to the point but also expressing opinion (not to be critical of anybody else, this is just a new way I’ve seen). And maybe the Reilly’s were a part of the new BND-verse, that were just never mentioned in the REAL-a-verse. (unless they act like the Reilly’s are long-lost, I didn’t read the ish =P)
*Great
Greay review Zach, hope Spideydude gets back up soon. If I may paraphrase Mike Bailey here: Raptor. On the plus side, thats really 90s. On the downside, thats REALLY 90s.
