Amazing Spider-man #660
The Sinister Six attack isn't what it seemed as four of the six of them turned out to be robots rather than members. This was because they were breaking into the Baxter building while Mysterio and Chameleon were springing the trap on the FF. Spidey then has to get used to the positivity of the FF which is quite funny...
Carlie Cooper later reveals to Pete that she got a tattoo and it's not a Goblin one. It's a Spider-man one. She thought it would be awkward for him still as she thinks Spidey and Pete are friends. Nice and funny twist.
Not the best art on the title but it works well with the large group fight scenes and stuff and the incorporating of the Sinister Six into a Spidey/ FF story is really good. At least the numbers are a bit more even. Followed up by another 2 page infested prequel and also the end to the Ghost Rider back up- which started out rather funny but descended into boring and typical beat 'em up comics.
FF#3
It get's better each issue. I like the relaunching and messing around with the status quo of characters and teams, especially when great writers are on board for the long run. This goes for both Spider-man Big Time and the Future Foundation of which Spider-man fits in with perfectly.
The FF are gathering some of the greatest minds on the planet and some of their biggest foes. To attend...
...which is finally revealed by Valeria to have been put in place to stop the council of Reed Richards' from destroying our earth. There is also plenty of Reed action from the council as their plan is put in place along with alliances with the Mole man, the Forever city, Annihilus and a failed alliance with the Inhumans. This is going to be a really huge first story arc. Like, EPIC HUGE!
Same writer artist team that does a great job each time. Lots of build up and I'm hoping a decent pay off. Also with a return to the Negative zone will we get a taste of what happened to Johnny Storm? I hope so.
New Mutants #25
I'm back reading again after taking a break for the Age of X story (not that I don't want to read it, just that I'll get the trade and save buying multiple issues again). New creative team and new direction- the search for X-man. Awesome wraparound cover by Djurdevic.
As for story the premise of having the New Mutants clear up unfinished X-men business before it comes back to bite them on the ass is quite clever. It's like a tame X-force. Plus finding X-man is a great first case. Only problem I have with this book is it has the exact first cliff hanger that Heroes for Hire has. I mean what the hell. Retro villain that doesn't like right when drawn with modern techniques and styles (Sugarman/Puppet master) has tied up a fan favorite (X-man/Misty Knight) to an augmented reality machine that rips off the Matrix films and is making them think they are fighting a super team (Avengers/Heroes for Hire). Come on DnA?! Far too many pages are spent on Cyclops telling Illyana off, which may have been relevant to the previous story but not to the current one.
The art isn't great but does the job and the colouring brings the art back from being too bad. Not impressed so far but I'm going to read the X-man story to the end.
