Amazing Spider-Man # 11
Just like last month, we have another lame villain putting Spidey in a compromising situation. Seriously folks, the Blob is about as lame as they come. How would you like it if you lived in the Marvel Universe and your only known superpower was the ability to be fat? I think I already have that superpower, especially after a few visits to Taco Bell. After those visits I’m also know as “Gasious Man,” but I digress…
Ok, the likes of the issue first. I enjoyed the MJ plot line. Evidently her stalker is a big player and is able to blow up streets to give her a message. Also he/she knows of every location she is at. This plot is shaping up nicely. Now to the dislikes, and they outweigh the likes.
Byrne was off this month. His pencils were just plain lazy. For an example of laziness go to the page where Peter enters J.Jonah’s office. We have the infamous “floating head shot” at the bottom. Now Byrne wasn’t the only one lazy this issue. Mackie couldn’t think of a reason for the Blob appearing so the Blob explains his appearance by “just being bored.”
So for this, anything but “Amazing” issue, I’m giving two out of four web heads.
