Review of advance copy
Read these in floppies as they were released at the comic shop. Vol. 3 continues Joe Kelly’s unexpected streak of solid storytelling—something that feels refreshing given how uneven the title has been under previous creative teams. I haven’t followed Amazing Spider‑Man in full arcs for two or three decades, so jumping back in at issue #1 of this run felt like a gamble. Fortunately, I don’t regret it. Kelly’s approach, especially the split narrative structure, makes the series surprisingly easy to follow, helped by the biweekly release schedule that keeps momentum from stalling.
This volume forshadows heavily on the contrast between Earthbound Peter and the cosmic, off‑world storyline that Kelly seems far more energized by. The original characters he introduces—particularly the mysterious new antagonists and the morally gray allies orbiting them—are where the book really shines. Kelly clearly enjoys writing them, and their motivations add a layer of intrigue that Peter’s grounded struggles sometimes lack. The plot centers around Peter being pulled into a conflict involving a powerful artifact and a faction of interstellar warriors whose agenda is far bigger than anything happening in his day‑to‑day New York life. Watching Peter try to keep up with stakes that feel wildly beyond his usual street‑level comfort zone is part of the fun.
Pepe Larraz’s art is the standout element of the volume. His dynamic layouts, expressive character work, and kinetic action sequences elevate the cosmic half of the story into something genuinely exciting. I first saw his work in Blood Hunt in 2024 and he earned another fan with his work there. By contrast, the Earthbound segments drawn by John Romita Jr. feel noticeably weaker—stiff, flat, and stylistically out of sync with the rest of the book. That critique has been made plenty of times elsewhere, so I won’t belabor it, but the difference is stark.
Marvel is clearly building toward something big for Amazing Spider‑Man #1000, and while the plot here isn’t especially deep, it’s entertaining, briskly paced, and easy to stick with. I’ll be riding along.

Review of advance copy
Clones. Multiverse. Different characters in the costume of the protagonist. New costume.
All clear and present signs the writer has *no ideas*.
And here we have them all in one arc.
Along with a bogus science fiction (excuse me “cosmic”) story that Spider-Man has no business being in.
Throw in whack-ass, D-list characters like Rocket Raccoon (and still trying to shoehorn “Kintugi” in there?) Fuck off) and there you go: this story arc.
Kelly sucks, Nick Lowe should be unemployed.
Annnnnd of course: misuses “literally”, random “god” mentions, something like 6 damn “artists” on one arc (!) with a colourist that no editor decided to tell them that Spidey’s eyes are WHITE. Not red.
