Larsen's art has grown on me a lot since I first read some of his work years ago, and it's definitely the strong point here. The plot is stuck spinning too many nonsensical science jargon-y plates in the air to be all that engaging—all the background story details feel like filler on the way towards another one of Larson's indulgent splash pages.

I'm sure that if I went back to this now, which I will do someday, I wouldn't enjoy it as much as I did a quarter of a century ago as an 11-12 year old boy, being excited to discover it in a rack at the library and taking it home as my first ever graphic novel/trade paperback, and I THINK my first ever Spider-Man/Marvel story.

I remember really, really enjoying this and being excited that I'd discovered something new here. I had graduated from The Beano and moved onto something more dramatic and adult. Every time I ever went back to that library, I would look in the same rack and hope that there would be another Spider-Man collection there. Unfortunately, the only one they ever had was The Revenge of the Sinister Six, which I found disappointing.

Still, this book represents a fond memory for me and I'll always hold it dear for that.

The title pretty much says it all. The Sinister Six gets together and makes their play in the 2nd half. Of course, Doc Ock's true plan is bananas. Erik Larsen's art was way better than I remembered it being back then.

I love villain teams, and I like most of these villains, but Erik Larsen's art was at its most outrageous at this point in time, and the story is a little padded.

Peak!

Doc Ock puts back together the Sinister Six for a plan to bribe the world. This is an odd mix of story, the Peter one looks at heartbreak and loss. The Mary-Jane one looks at obsession. And the main one, about loyalty and fighting. The real reason for Doc Ock's plan is quite clever. A good read.

Pretty decent adventure with oldie goldie villains. Not too bad, but I just can not stand the art by Erik Larsen.

[Dancomfort]

good story, and the ongoing subplots finished at the same time!
