Amazing Spider-Man #579 – Review (Marvel Comics) Not much of a memorable story here, but it is a good one, nonetheless. Mark Waid does a great job in capturing some excellent character moments, pounding home the idea of Spidey’s selflessness and undying spirit. Marcos Martin’s artwork is no where near as complicated or brilliant as [...]
