    "INTENSITY AT IT'S BEST" - AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #699 (SPOILER FREE)

    SPOILER FREE!

    The Amazing Spider-Man #699 - From the past issues we learned that Doc Ock is dying but In this issue we have learned "The Magician's Greatest Trick" via Doc Ock what is it you ask? Well I'm not telling... And you need to get this book.

    Like the title said this is INTENSITY AT IT'S BEST, Doc Ock Is in his last few moments of death being he is in this mental and physical state by now. Revelations after Revelations throughout this book (and the last one don't get me wrong). Everything is solved now, everything is revealed and now we have this big payoff by the next issue.

    Throughout the entire issue, having the situation being done through Spider-Man's eyes and now have all these events being seen through Doc's eyes having it all explained, I thought it was clever on how they done it throughout this issue. Now, Big credit to Dan Slott, Ever since Spider-Island he manages to make Spider-Man actually interesting, I stopped reading Spider-Man, but years later i did come back to reading Spider-Man comics but they weren't all that interesting to me but Dan Slott manages to interest me (and maybe some readers out there as well). Issue after issue is just well-written and cleverly done. Spider-Man being a comedic character, having his so-called "comedy" is his weapon, I thought here and the past issues does not feel forced at all, but not just that, he knows how to write intense action even if it's all done through dialogue.

    Hence we have his partner in crime, Artist Humberto Ramos. Humberto Ramos was a mixed bag for me from his art because at some point he would have really bad art that looks overly cartoon-ey or maybe some bad anime art. But from here and the past few issues before this I can tell that his art is evolving (hell I didn't threw up for once). In the end i enjoyed this book from page 1 up to the end and I can't wait to read the finale, Will it be the finale of all finales? maybe we'll find out soon enough. I don't have any complaints about this book and like i said I'm excited to get The Amazing Spider-Man #700

    MY RATING:

    5/5

      I have been a Spider-Man fan for a number of years now, and Dan Slott's run has been amazing. Although not all the issues he's written lately have been perfect he has made me very excited to see what will happen when issue 700 arrives, and I've not been as excited about a Spider-Man story in years.PlotWARNING: THIS WILL SPOIL THE END OF ISSUE 698This issue continues from were the last issue left off, Doctor Octopus has managed to switch bodies with Spider-Man and is now living his life with all ...

      SPOILER FREEThis issue is great. That's all there is to say about it. It answers big questions from previous issues, and it sets the stage for issue 700. Although some might consider it a filler issue, it doesn't feel like it.The GoodThe focus of this issue is the big explanation. Lots of people have come close to predicting how the reveal in issue 698 happened, but I don't think anyone figured it out exactly. And even though I somewhat saw it coming, the Dan Slott's explanation is satisfying. I...
