WHY IT’S COOL: Recommending to New Amazing Spider-Man #1 Is Tricky Business, Because New Rons On This Book (Argulay Marvel’s Marquee Title) has to Way of Starting Strong and The Wearing Down With ITS Releases Twice-A-Month Release Schedule. That’s Why I Really Didn’t Want To Recommend This Comic, and Probablay Gave It A Higher Bar To Clear Than Other Titles Might Have. But the artwork by Pepe Larraz and Mars Gracia is rementless Charming, and Writer Joe Kelly Sems to have Story He’s Wanted To Tell For A Long While. It’s aso A dese Read, That Sems A Dentcent Value for the $ 5.99 Price Tag.
