Amazing Spider-Man 33
PLOT: Morlun and Spidey engage in a knock down drag out for the whole issue. Spidey decides he can’t beat Morlun on his own and goes to Ezekial for help. Ezekial refuses saying Spidey is destined to die.
LIKES: Romita, Jr.’s art continues to be top notch and he has a field day with the action here. If you like battle royals this one’s for you. The mention that Morlun feels something is “wrong” with Peter hints at an interesting resolution as well as the possibility that Spidey doesn’t quite fit into things as Ezekial thinks he does.
DISLIKES: Is anyone else out there tired of Spidey getting the snot beat out of him? Fusion. The Green Goblin. The geek who kidnapped MJ. And now Morlun. They all have beat Spidey to a pulp. Enough already! Also JMS needs to cool it with this stuff about Morlun being the biggest baddest Spidey has ever faced. He’s also way off base having Spidey say Morlun is the first villain who really ticked him off. This doesn’t fit with almost 40 years of web spinning history. JMS may want Morlun to be an epic-like Spidey villain but he can’t force it to happen. Finally what’s with the Campbell covers? Can he make some effort to have the cover relate to the story inside instead of just being a potential poster?
RATING:
out of 5 web-heads and slightly slipping.
