X-Men/ Spider-Man #3
ok let me start off by saying this series is awesome! its a shame its only a limited, but they obviously can't continue with this format. so this issue jumps ahead the the 90's era with a twist in cast- Ben Reilly in the spidey suit. in this issue the boys (and Storm) take on Carnage, another 90's icon, while Mr. Sinister continues his secret great experiment. lots of action, great dialogue and, again, its great reading actual X-Men and Spider-Man history being worked into the story. the last issue is still my favorite from the series, but that doesn't take away from this one. 9/10
Amazing Spider-Man #583
when i saw "Because you asked for it, Peter on a date!" on the cover all i could do was just laugh. but regardless this was another good Waid story (i really wish he would just take over the Braintrust with Slott). it was a pretty nice story about Betty and her relationship with Pete, nothing spectacular as of yet, but then with Betty's discovery that all her friends hate her right now theirs a huge change in tone for the book and it becomes that much more powerful. this is my PICK OF THE WEEK. 9/10
