Still having some issue laying around, I decided to catch up on the newest Amazing series, so I sat down and read issues one through 5. This was a classic retelling of
Having just seen that episode again not too long ago, I think it both made the story more impactful but also made it seem very repetitive to something I just saw. Because I did just see it. I will say it was well done, I suppose, but certainly not what I would expect from a first arc. Just too ... normal? I mean as a story it is ... just another version of a often used trope. Ya know?
Also, while I really liked the art by Ryan Ottley on Invincible, even with its sharp edges (I style I usually don't love) it fit well into the story. Here I find while I do love the look of Spider-Man himself (he looks very cool with the physical shape and actions) the rest of the gang, the non-costumed peeps, look off to me. Not sure why. I like Ottley, I do, but ... Something is just not hitting here for me, for some reason. His Spider-Man is pretty neat though, again.
