Last Remains may be over, but the fallout will be felt forever. Mary Jane's back in town, but so is Mister Negative, and while Kindred may be trapped behind Ravencroft's walls, that doesn't mean that the menace of the Kingpin or Norman Osborn is over and done with either.For all the false conclusions Last Remains gave us, these five issues give a good argument as to why it's not a bad thing - there's still so much story to tell here, and the fallout from Last Remains is almost as exciting as the...

Not Bad. I have to be honest I sort of checked out on the Nick Spencer run on Spider-man someime after Amazing Spider-Man by Nick Spencer, Vol. 4: Hunted. It just became a snooze fest to me after that arc. Spencer has not been doing a bad job writing on this series but it just feels like the editors are making him stretch out the story he is building concerning Kindred. Nevertheless here we are picking up with Peter Parker aka Spider-man after the events in Amazing Spider-Man by Nick Spencer, Vo...

I..just can't...Can't wait this stupid mess to end.And the cliffhanger just adds more salt to insult.

Nick Spencer is really putting Peter through emotional hell and it's really beginning to take toll. Are we headed for the end of Parker as Spidey? I'm starting to get those vibes...Highlights:- Picking up right at the end of the fight with Kindred (from last Volume), we see that MJ is not hurt, but was actually working with Norman to stop Harry (revealed last Volume as Kindred). Norman is working with Kingpin though, and that can never be good.- We get to see Aunt May working at FEAST, and Marti...

Cleaning up the newest spider-crossover is (unshockingly) a better story than the crossover itself. Well, aside from the wonky timeframe of the first two issues. And the fact that they should have been in the previous volume.But we get all kinds of great repercussions of the Osbournes' various antics in the last few volumes: how they affect family and friends, including Peter himself.And besides that, we get a tight look at how the returning sins are affecting people, in the form of one Mr. Nega...

Another great volume.

Another rock solid volume of Nick Spencer's run on Spidey. This book mostly deals with the fallout from the last amazing installment but it definitely doesn't rest on its laurels, with the return of Mr. Negative and the Kingpin up to his old tricks.The final issue collected here (#60) is very moving, focusing on Pete and MJ, and has a teaser at the end that has me eagerly anticipating the next book.This may not be the best Spidey run ever but it's been consistently entertaining to this dusty, ol...

Oh boy was this an emotional one, I cried at several parts. This deals with the fallout of last remains and Spencer doesn’t hold back. Honestly this volume reminded me why I love his run so much because he really nails the character moments like this and tugs at your heart.

This is actually a much more somber volume than I expected. Peter is now dealing with the aftermath of Harry's actions. He's trying to understand why his friend did what he did while also coming to accept his own issues. On top of that we have Norman Osborn trying to make amends and seek redemption by being a decent father/grandfather but it won't be very easy. Overall a cool fallout issue. Peter's growth is nice. Him and MJ works well. The Harry stuff is good. And Norman growing is a interestin...

Spencer really doubles down on what he started in Volume 11 - having the characters talk about the conventions of the comic world they live in. Peter Parker, for example, says,“Sometimes I’ll have these moments when things feel different—I’m in the Avengers. I’m running Parker Industries. But no matter what I always seem to land right back in the same place.”I happen to like this kind of meta-business that allows comics characters to acknowledge the weirdness of their lives.I was left looking fo...

I found these issues about the fallout from Last Remains better than Last Remains itself. These first 2 issues should have been a part of said collection instead of this one. Norman Osborn seems to be legit about making amends for his past actions although Peter doesn't at all believe him. The middle two issues are about Mr. Negative and reminiscent of some of the best parts of the Playstation game. The final issue is hokey. MJ talks Peter into airing how grievances with the Osborns on an empty

After the hellish dinner party hosted by Kindred, who happens to Peter’s best friend Harry Osborn, the Green Goblin made an explosive entrance, whilst Mary Jane got caught in the crossfire of a pumpkin bomb. Both Osborns have tormented Peter long enough to point he is finally ready to put the Osborn family drama behind him, whilst continuing to pick up the pieces and put his life back together.However, after Sin-Eater got rid of all the sins from Norman, it seems that he is looking redemption as...

While I feel as though the last three volumes should probably been at the most two, I am still enjoying Amazing Spider-Man.My issue at this point is that everything that is supposed to end one thing is a set up for another thing, like issue 60 is very good but is also a big set up for more Kindred stuff.The art is very good, Mark Bagely does a few issues and covers.Mister Negative is back, Kingpin is doing something (For the best Kingpin read current Zdarsky Daredevil), and kindred is around. Al...

I’m getting a little tired of the constant buildup here. Spencer started his run with a lot of promise: continually fixing issues that have been prevalent in Spider-Man books since the late 2000’s. Mary Jane was brought back to being a starring character, with hers and Peter’s relationship back on track. Black Cat and Spider-Man’s friendship was restored. Peter is finally facing actual, reasonable consequences for the fallout of Superior Spider-Man and Parker Industries. However, the further tha...

Yet another installment in the apparently endless go-round of Peter, Norman and Kindred being moody at each other. At this point I can't even recall how many volumes it is since this series last featured Boomerang (bar one tantalising flashback panel here), fun, or forward motion. The problem being, Spencer has a solid core point (Peter became Spider-Man because of Ben Parker's death, yet being Spider-Man has only put more danger on those close to him; interwoven with that, the wider issue of Bi...

COLLECTS AMAZING SPIDER-MAN (2018) ISSUES #56-60This is basically a "Last Remains" fallout collection. I loved the first two issues in this collection, and then was so-so on the final three issues. There were definitely some solid moments, but something felt like it was missing, coming off of the previous, important collection.SPOILERS:I can't remember if I mentioned this in a previous review, but because Spencer's run is purposely making us look back at the events of "Brand New Day," "One More

A little bit of aftermath to the big showdown, but it's quite clear things aren't "over". A couple of issues are spent setting up more pieces. I did like Peter's argument with Norman. Felt real, because I've just about had enough of him too. The writers keep bringing him back and he comes off as being overused. I've only been half paying attention to this run so I'm really not sure what Kingpin is up to.The last issue was probably the best. It's an attempt to give Peter some therapy for at least...

Oddly, this aftermath of Last remains is better than the main story and explains lots of confusing elements of the previous volume. The 2 uninspired Mr negative issues cost the book 1* though.

This collection deals mostly with the aftermath of the previous. Peter is clearly with some intense PTSD after having been killed over and over by his 'best friend' and having to protect his friends and family YET AGAIN.Through it all, we see cracks in the armor that is 'One More Day'. Soul tampering is a no-no and we'll see how much is revealed.Bonus: waiting for Kindred to be revealed as a clone. lol

This was really more of a clean-up book that tried to deal with the fallout of the last big story arc. Sure, Kindred appears to be securely in the care of Norman Osborne at the Ravencroft Institute but who knows how long that will last. And there's still a lot more that needs to be resolved.One of the better parts of this book was seeing Mary Jane and Peter more or less back together again. After years of being apart (and several story arcs to boot), it was nice to let them be the amazing people...
