It appears that the character was created for this issue to create a sense of spectacle as Spider-Man is fighting someone who has the combined powers of some of his worst enemies. Ultimately, the character proved to be just that-a gimmick. While the premise of the character known as the Super-Adaptoid a being with the powers of the original Sinister Six: Doctor Octopus, Electro, Kraven the Hunter by way of his son, Mysterio, Vulture, and Sandman did give me some reservations as it felt like a “gimmick” character, I was still open to the idea.īut that’s where I was wrong. This informed my interest in this week’s issue of Amazing Spider-Man, at least before I read it.
The premise of “What did Peter Parker do,” which was used to market the series, was intriguing especially since much of the first arc had him deal with the fallout of his actions in terms of how it affected his relationships with his loved ones. Regardless, I felt that the first arc of the series was a welcome return to the street-level stories of the character with its use of Tombstone as the antagonist. That is probably a sacrilegious opinion as the current series begins with certain changes to the life of Peter Parker that have proven to be controversial, as readers have felt that the character has been in a perpetual state of stagnation. I have been enjoying the current Amazing Spider-Man series. Unfortunately, The Amazing Spider-Man #900 does not live up to these standards. Meaning that such an issue should not only deliver on its story, but it should also prove itself to be a memorable milestone issue. And Spider-Man is no exception Amazing Spider-Man #6 by Zeb Wells and pencils and inks by Ed McGuinness, inks by Mark Morales, Wade Von Grawbadger, Cliff Rathburn, colours by Marcio Menyz, Dijjo Lima, and Erick Arciniega, and lettering by VC’s Clayton Cowles, does double duty as a celebration of the character’s upcoming 60 th anniversary and the 900th issue of Amazing Spider-Man. Based on my experience reading them, I believe that milestone issues are probably one of the most intimidating comics to write for the Big Two.
