Discussion of this weeks issue and it's badass ASM#316-esque cover.
The only decent pic of Spidey I have seen so far from Jimenez.

Discussion of this weeks issue and it's badass ASM#316-esque cover.
The only decent pic of Spidey I have seen so far from Jimenez.

Play nice kiddies!

Mos Def his best pic so far.

I don't get it... I have adored his art in the past, and I've always wanted to see how he'd tackle Spidey, but he's been fairly hit or miss so far considering his reputation.

Hopefully it'll keep up to this standard a bit more

I just can't understand why he draws Spidey without the SLIGHTEST bit of depth for his nose a lot of the time

 

[Dangerous]

The main problem I have with Jimenez's Spider-Man is that he draws his head too elongated. The cover to #553 looked stupid.
Aside from that some of Spidey's action poses look a little strange. The rest of his panels,- everything else he draws is great.
I think the cover to #554 is killer.

 

[Dangerous]

Even though I'm not buying, I'm enjoying reading this rag on Thursdays (UK comicbook day), ...Thursday can't come soon enough this week. I get WAY excited about reading Spidey. Even crappy new status quo Spidey. Also I got the afternoon off work and I'm getting drunk while on the hype before I go out. Apologies if I am blabbing about nothing. BTW guys- I am not a drunk, this is the first time I have drank in two weeks.

Amen to that. Other than Spidey's head often looking like the Rhino slept on it, I have no problems with Jimenez's art.

Well, I read it... not bad... maybe the weakest of the three months thus far, but I liked how this issue was more of a continuation of every other sub-plot, with a little Freak/Dr. Connors mystery added to boot. The third part of this story was definitely my favorite.

I agree that Jiminez' covers make Spidey's head look like it's been in a vice, but his interiors are pretty solid, in my opinion.

It's all been very good thus far...

 

[Web-Head408]

Another good issue, stronger than last week's.

The hospital scene with JJJ was priceless with the direct homage to a page in ASM #547. I won't spoil that part for anyone who hasn't read it yet.

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

I'll be picking tihs issue up real soon and I'm so excited to read it!

 

[Themanofbat]

I miss the webbing behind the logo...

I liked it. I was pretty unimpressed with Gale's previous two issues, but I thought this one was pretty good. Even though Freak was a huge waste of time, I love all of the interactions between Pete and the (huge) supporting cast. It's that kind of stuff that makes OMD worthwhile.

^Thought you might like that.

 

[Kirk Langstrom]

Loved it. Loved the interactions with the supporting cast. Glad to see the sub-plots getting fleshed out. (sub-plots...remember those?)...

And it's always great to see Conners.


Despite what many have said, i also really liked Gale's dialogue. He and i have the same humor, i think...

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

Yesterday, I picked this Issue up and it was awesome. I loved the stunning battle between Spidey and Freak and I loved Dr. Connors' appearance. It reminded me of the classic day of the Spdiey comics. I can't wait unti lthe next Issue.

 

[DestinyMakerX]

Honestly, I found this issue awful -- the worst of BND yet.

Aloha,
I'm enjoying the serialized style of Amazing at this time. The fact that you WANT to know what's going to happen next week is exciting.The internet has really spoiled we comic book fans. Back in the Silver Age-The Big Man first appeared in Amazing #10, it wasn't for a little over a year, before his true identity was revealed. Nowadays, we want to know everything immediately. As long as plots and sub plots are continuing to be develped and within the BND world, continuity is being flowed, I can wait for some of the continuity issues created by OMD to be resolved. Enjoyed #554.

I know that you have been Spider-man fan lot longer than I have, but didn't Bigman be revealed to be Freddie Foswell in the same issue he debuted, ASM 10?

 

[The Lizard]

I was glad to finally see a Jimenez version of the Lizard in that flashback cameo.

Agreed, His Lizard looks really cool.

Very true, Donald. I may only be 14, but I do see what you mean. Also, The Big Man's real identity was revealed in ASM Issue #10, which is when he first appeared.
