Amazing Spider-Man # 3
Well page 3 of this comic says a lot about Spidey as of late. On that page Spidey lands right smack on his butt. This issue was continued in the “Marvel Team Up” tradition and had another guest star. Why can’t Spidey shine in his solo title, without a guest star? I thought the Thor guest shot was a one time deal, but it seems guest spots are here to stay. The Fantastic Four are scheduled for issue 4.
This issue revealed the id of Shadrac and had the evil Dolman collaborating with him. I have no idea who Dolman is, anyone have a clue? Plus why do we have so many references to the Gathering of the Five with a new relaunch. I thought relaunches were suppose to be clean slates, not rehashes of past material.
Another distressing aspect of this issue was the lack of supporting characters. Mary Jane, Aunt May, the Daily Bugle, all were nowhere to be found. Not a good follow-up to an already weak issue of a new run. 2 out of 4 web heads.
