REVIEW: Amazing Spider-Man #529
Amazing Spider-Man #529Publisher: Marvel
Writer: J. Michael Straczynski
Artist: Ron Garney
[*spoiler warning*] This issue sold out fast! Many of you probably missed the first printing, but do not despair. The good people at Marvel are printing more!
As the cover clearly indicates, this is the first issue featuring the web-slinger in his new duds. I am really torn over this issue. I can't say I am that big a fan of the new look for the character, and after reading this issue it sounds as if Spidey's new suit makes him almost invincible. But, I know that the change is temporary and that is a small comfort. I guess I just liked the stories about a loner hero that made his own costume. On a positive note, this issue read like an old school Spidey issue. There was a short action sequence in which Spidey took on some hoods. Then we got some foundation for the rest of the upcoming "Civil War" event. I liked the artwork on the book, and I thought the story was pretty entertaining. I do however question how anyones leg can bend the way Spidey's does on the cover. This one is recommended.
My Verdict: 8/10

well,the suit is cool,but,i was more curious about his recent rebirth and what that might mean...
From what I can tell, if the fans don't like this "new" Spidey (not just the uniform), it is all very reversable. I don't think many new powers will stick around for very long, but at least it could be interesting while he has them.
I am going to try not to be completely snarky about iron-man spidey's look, because like you said, the suit and powers will most likely fade away. I think MJ likes him better in red and blue also.
that does bring to mind one very important question;what is a good color scheme for acts of heroism?
