AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #13 & 14

CoverS by ALEX ROSS
POWER PLAY CONTINUES!
• Things aren’t going well between the Amazing Spider-Man and the Invincible Iron Man and their conflict is opening the door for Regent and his plan against our heroes!
• Now that Regent has started imprisoning HEROES and stealing their powers things have gone from bad to worse.
32 PGS. (each)/Rated T …$3.99 (each)
Comments: Whilst I am mildly interested by the return of Regent, I feel that this is not the time to be reintroducing Iron Man and MJ back into Peter’s life. The fight between Iron Man and the Spider-Heroes has me worried we’ll see some unnecessary conflict between Pete and his former wife.
More after the break.

ACTION FIGURE VARIANT COVER BY JOHN TYLER CHRISTOPHER
THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN GETS CAUGHT UP IN CIVIL WAR II! There’s a new Inhuman with the ability to seemingly predict the future, and as the heroes of the Marvel Universe continue to grapple with their feelings about his very existence one thing almost everyone can agree on is that he bears a tremendous responsibility to use his powers safely. Peter Parker, aka THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN, knows a thing or two about that — too bad he’s also got the ol’ Parker luck working against him.
32 PGS./Rated T+ …$3.99
Comments: I think having Peter caught in the middle of the conflict is the right way to go – otherwise we could end up with a repeat of Civil War 1 and no Spider-Fan wants that.

CARNAGE #9
GERRY CONWAY (w) • MIKE PERKINS (a)

I love how the Regent is so dr Not and center since the title launched as many have said he is the weakest thing of RUV. Let me guess, he gets into a fight because Iron Man and Spider-Man want to shit him down and he’s all: “You don’t understand. I’m taking super villain powers to be a super hero.” “why won’t you let me kill and maim them when it’s for the greater good?”
Thanks for letting me know how little I’m missing 😉
I really don’t think you can call Gwenpool a Spider-Man (or even Spider-Man related) book at all. Especially since it only apparently shows up on this list to be complained about.
Yay Spider-Man and Iron Man at odds. Never seen that before. Certainly not in anything to do with Civil War. And this totally won’t toxically impact upon Peter’s relationship with MJ or tie-into it destroying it further.
The last time someone was crazy enough to have Wolverine + Venom it was in Daneil Way’s Venom solo book so…yeah…
$6 for Civil War II is beyond ridiculous. That’s an extortionate price.
“one thing almost everyone can agree on is that he bears a tremendous responsibility to use his powers safely. Peter Parker, aka THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN, knows a thing or two about that — too bad he’s also got the ol’ Parker luck working against him.”
Sigh. That’s not how the Parker luck works.
Interesting the Mary Janes are emphasized in both Spider-Gwen solicitations.
Given the fact that July’s issue is going to have MJ donning the Iron Spider suit, I think that the storyline is ultimately going to be “Mary Jane swings to the rescue.”
Which means that I think it’s a great time to bring MJ back into the mix.
