The Amazing Spider-Man #6
Nick Spencer (w), Humberto Ramos (a)
Marvel Comics

Liz says: It’s the beginning of a new story-arc for this series, and it’s off to a cracking start! Humberto Ramos (series artist for much of the Dan Slott run) joins writer Nick Spencer, lending to a pleasant balance of familiarity and freshness. Once again, I found myself laughing out loud (the most inspired usage of the Black Ant’s powers I’ve ever read are employed opening pages) and grinning throughout the whole of the issue. Spencer clearly relishes reintroducing the characters from his ‘Superior Foes of Spider-Man’ run, and I certainly enjoyed seeing them! I’ve been loving this book so far and highly recommend it, so if you missed the first arc, now is the perfect time to jump on!
