Amazing Spider-Man # 44– The modern-day version of “Gang War” comes to an end and after everything is said and done, the conclusion serves as a way to revitalize Tombstone; This issue definitely serves as a way to remind fans why he’s such a dangerous villain after not being used after so many years; The conclusion, however, feels chaotic (The battle in Central Park is epic, must say) but it’s the heartfelt moments presented in this issue that makes it enjoyable but the climax could have been more epic so that’s a shame but with this issue setting up future storylines that will play out in time, the finale did well on some aspects but at least this arc was more thought-out than the 80s version.
Ice Cream Man # 38– In one of the most ingenious yet weird Sci-Fi concepts, this issue introduces us to an endless amount of clones named Gary! (Seriously!) who have boring jobs in prison while never seeing the wonders of the outside world (They even get served vanilla ice cream for their meals- WOW!!!); The path for one Gary to experience freedom is very compelling but like many of the ICM issues, one might think it may go for the gory twist but this one, in particular, choose a very different yet more quiet path that will make anyone fall in love with this issue (**NO SPOILERS**); Is it a strange concept? Yes but once you get to the last page, it will bring a tear of joy to anyone who loves life…. even if you’re a clone named Gray.
Spider-Punk: Arms Race # 1 – Spider-Punk returns in a new series that once again celebrates the punk rock elements of the character while unveiling a new threat for him. Norman Osborn is dead, but will the chaos he’s created be too much for Spider-Punk and the gang to handle? Cody Ziglar’s script does well when it comes to adding such innovative factors while being charming in its own unique way; Ziglar’s gift for bringing Hobie Brown to life puts him in line with the version we saw in “Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse” which I think is magnificent but while some of the beats in this issue feel flat, this is a remarkable issue that brings up back to the amazing and non-conformist world of Spider-Punk that will leave you wanting more and at the same time loving every minute of the character’s return.
Well, that’s it for me this week. Thanks for sticking around and I will see you all next time.
