Amazing Spider-Man by Nick Spencer Vol. 2: Friends and Foes, by
4.0
Amazing Spider-Man vol 2 carries on the new age of Spider-Man post Dan Slott and I think is another really good volume for the webhead. Within are five issues in total with two story arcs across those five. One in which Spidey goes to the bar with no name for a Spider-Man trivia night and it develops the Fisk/Kindred plot from vol 1 on top of using Boomerang one of Spidey's roommates in an excellent comedic fashion while also paying tribute to the Superior foes of Spider-Man for the fans out there. Called A Trivial Pursuit
The second arc: Heist is about the guild of thieves who were an old wives tale but they've now made a move in a big way: by stealing things from every superhero! It's a fun premise that does everything it can in three issues, while at the same time Mary Jane has a plot of her own when she joins the Lookups a civilian support group for the close and loved ones of Super heroes.
The art is penciled by Humberto Ramos and Michele Bandin who both do a good job though I love Bandini's work as she covers the Mary Jane half of the story smoothly. And Ramos has been on Spider-man for years so I've always got a spot for him.
The two arcs are about second chances. remembering, and how vital (and annoying) those around you are. I think it's another good volume, good enough for those who didn't like the first and certainly good enough for me to continue reading.
4 stars.
