Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Back In Black=Amazing Spiderman
The only good pages in this story are in THE AMAZING SPIDERMAN, becausE the ar of Ron Garney is great and the writer J.M.S is awesome.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Amazon description is WRONG - no Sensational Spider-Man
This is an OK graphic novel, but I wanted to let everyone know that the description on Amazon is not right. It says that it contains Sensational Spider-Man 35-40, which is the story with Spider-Man's clones, and that story simply isn't in here. That was one of the main reasons I wanted this book in the first place, since the main storyline with a dying Aunt May was a little melodramatic for my taste, so I'm a little disappointed.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Dark Spidey
After his aunt is shot Peter goes BALLIASTIC He dons the black suit a suit he doesn't wear because MJ doesn't like how it looks too much like Venom's costume. (Peter is whipped). In ASM Spidey wages a one-man war on crime to figure out who tried to kill him and accidentally ending up shooting his aunt. I believe the guy was actually trying to kill MJ. However, if this Graphic Novel includes FNS written by Peter David just skip that story. This great review is for JMS write on ASM, okay.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Powerful story, not happy times for Spidey!
Collecting Amazing Spider-Man 539-543, Friendly Spider-Man 17-23 and Annual 1, this is the first book of two Back In Black hardcovers detailing Spider-Man's life after the Civil War events in the Marvel Universe, where his identity as Peter Parker had been publicly revealed.

Focusing on the aftermath of an assassin's attempts on his family, the story has Spider-Man facing the darker aspects of his character. Well told and drawn as usual, it cuts off rather abruptly at the end of the ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A dark chapter
I thought that the first half of this book was amazing and I would recommend it to anyone. The book features a darker Spider-man than in the past fraught with the shooting of his aunt and gets into the consequences of acting without the mask. I can't wait to read the rest in One More Day. Where the book does fall out is the last half when it switches from Amazing Spider-Man to Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man. There's a story about the Sandman that's not very interesting but sort of serves to ... Read More
