Two Spider-Mans how could it be? Well this month in Amazing Spider-Man we find out. After the events of Peter's paparazzi job with the "new" Daily Bugle. Peter finds him self down and out yet again as Brand New Day continues. While Peter tries to learn more information on the "spider-tracer" killings the Basher put an on-line challenge for spidey to show up and fight him with out his webs. At the same time a bar where a gathering of some familiar "spidey-foes" are watching the challenge being issued the bookie now offers to take bets on if spidey will show most of the villains be live Spidey wont so they all place there bets. Peter who has seen the video on the net decides to play it safe and go as Peter Parker. The Basher keeps calling out to Spidey and still a no show the gathering of villains watching the broadcast in the bar be live that they have their bets won and are looking to be paid when all of a sudden Spidey shows up and deals with the Basher. Peter who is watching this knows that's not spidey and swings into action. After a lengthy chase Spidey (the real one) catches the impostor and unmasks him. It turns out that the "fake" Spider-Man was in fact Screwball a villain from a couple of issues ago who aired her crimes on the net. She tells Spider-Man that the Bookie payed her bail and offered her more money to go and take out the Basher as Spider-Man. Spidey takes the address where this Bookie can be found and heads off. Meanwhile the villains got wise to the Bookies attempt to try and cheat them after trying to weasel himself out of it the villains all gang up on the Bookie then the real Spider-Man shows up right in the middle of a gathering of some of his foes.
It was a decent issue to say the least I'm looking forward to where this title is going with the Spidey killings but to me it seems that it's really taking a while to get there. Don't get me wrong I'm one for a real nice set up into something but this seems like it has been dragged out for a while now. Other than my little fan-boy complaint i enjoyed the new writer on ASM Bob Gale. and the art was really decent.
story **1/2 (out of 4)
art ***(out of 4)
over all ***(out of 4)
Like i said before not a bad story at all but the lack of heading towards the spidey killings has really slowed down the story.
