On a cold day in the Midwest, I review Amazing Spider-Man #86/887 & Ben Reilly: Spider-Man #1. Both great issues, but while a few moments of “didn’t you see that coming” in Amazing brings the grade down a bit. The Ben Reilly mini knocks it out of the park with a great first issue to this limited series.
