I review Amazing Spider-Man #27/921 as the Dr. Octopus storyline kicks off and some of the aftermath of Amazing #26. The interactions between Norman Osborn and Peter are some of the best of the issue. Sadly, throwing in 20 issue subplots that have been forgotten about and making Doc Ock look like he is two steps away from a heart attack. I give this issue a better grade than the past three issues. I also do a small tribute to John Romita Sr. who as of this recording had just passed away. Goodbye John.
