4.0 out of 5 stars Issues #589-594 and Extra #2: pleasant filler between two major ASM story arcs, September 27, 2009

This review is from: Spider-Man: 24/7 (Hardcover)

This collects issues #589-594 (and "Extra" #2) of Marvel Comics' "Amazing Spider-Man" series originally published in Spring 2009. The fun #589 is the one-shot "Return of the Spot" written by Fred Van Lente. Dan Slott wrote the next two-issue story featuring a trip to the Macroverse with the Fantastic Four. The main plot is a less than essential sidebar, but Peter considers revealing his identity to the FF, and #591 ends with a surprise. Mark Waid wrote the "24/7" arc that spans #592-594: Peter's nemesis is mayor, Aunt May has a new boyfriend and a new Vulture besets the city. Pencils for these issues are provided by Barry Kitson, Mike McKone, Dale Eaglesham and Paulo Siqueria. This hardcover also includes "Extra" #2, a pair of supplemental stories written by Joe Slott and Zeb Wells, respectively. Though enjoyable reading, this seems like filler between the previous "Character Assassination" and subsequent "American Son" story arcs. Despite the recent troublesome retcons of Peter's secret identity and marriage to Mary Jane, this remains my favorite Marvel title.

5.0 out of 5 stars 24/7 and counting..., January 20, 2011

This review is from: Spider-Man: 24/7 (Hardcover)

This book starts off with a story about the Spot. Kind of bland, and not the best story, but Spot is interesting.
For the second story, Spider-Man briefly joins the FF on a mission to the macroverse and decides where time flies by many hours to each hour spent in the macroverse. Pretty good story, but the dynamic between Torch and Spidey was not as great as it could have been and usually is.
In the third story, Spider-Man decides it will be fun to mess with JJJ and his spider assassin squad by putting himself all over the city, all hours of the day, with the intent of being on the cover of all newspapers in the city. What ensues is a fairly action packed story arc that is fun and entertaining.
I think the best story in the book is the "Birthday" story written by Wells that features Wolverine and Spidey out for a night on Wolverine's birthday. Very well written and both characters are captured perfectly.
A good trade altogether and would definitely recommend picking it up.

This review is from: Spider-Man: 24/7 (Paperback)

Spider-Man is out on another his adventures, including one with the Fantastic Four. In the first part in #589, the Spot returns and he is after a Russian mob. Next, he sets out on an adventure with the Fantastic Four as they are headed for the Macroverse. Johnny Storm alias the Human Torch seems suspicious of Spidey and he attempts to unmask him. But this is only the beginning as Spidey and the FF must now defend the Macroverse where the inhabitants take the FF as their saviors.

When Spidey returns to the real world, he hears that J.Jonah Jameson who was once the header if the Daily Bugle is now the new mayor of New York City and a brand new deadlier Vulture is out seeking revenge on the people who mutated him.

Spider-Man and Wolverine are also celebrating Wolverine's birthday.

Collects Amazing Spider-Man #589-594 and Amazing Spider-Man:Extra #2 and Amazing Spider-Man:Extra #3.
