Wow, what a short one. It passes in a few minutes. I’m not sure if the writing’s fast or lazy. Unimpressed.

Mhan’s Peter Parker is still girly, but it is a nice issue featuring the Human Torch showing up at Midtown.

A decent “holiday” issue, though Pop Mhan’s Peter Parker looks like a girl. Awkwardly, a cute girl. Decent.

This one must be the laziest Peter David comic I’ve read. It is two scenes and endless expository dialogue.

I can identify–easily–David’s A, B and C plots, which takes some of the fun out of the read. Ron Lim’s art’s super-blah.

Once again, a funny (but David’s use of pop culture references are a tad off) if breezy read. The art’s nice, lots of fun.

It is funny–especially since David’s writing is very self-aware–but the pacing is awful. David never finishes a thought.

David writes the witty relationship between Rick and Marv fine, but the Blair Witch reference is lame now, as it was then.

I like how Chrisscross can mix cartoon influence for expressions but still do action art. David has got solid pacing here.

Blah again–and nice photo-reference of Halle Berry by the way. Too much dumb plot, not enough character or solid activity.

Better than I expected, but it’s an all-action issue–unless you count the jokes. But not as crappy as the series has been.

Pure functional storytelling–Quicksilver gets his powers back to allow future appearances. Lame but okay.

David sets the comic up for a nice in-series reset then fouls it with a bad close. He also makes it clear the book needs Layla.

Maybe I just don’t like Raimondi anymore. Some bumps but a fine action issue, the best David’s written for the series probably.

Terrible art (it’s impossible to follow the action) and poor writing. David never manages to write it as a standard team comic.

A badly paced action issue masquerading as a talking heads one. This De Landro guy’s art sucks, particularly for a Marvel book.

The series standard–lots of character, lots of talk–is very welcome but Raimondi’s art is off. Way too photo-referenced here.
