I dig it, it's understated as far as spidey goes. and i like it when the logo is turned into a real world object

I knew it! Sleepwalker is coming back! Back by total lack of demand.

I keep thinking it's gonna be Spidey vs a giant marshmallow from the thumbnail of the cover.

That cover is pretty odd, but I can forgive it, as the other two covers for this arc have been fantastic.
Can't wait to see how this ends, highly anticipated.

I thought that Spidey was doing a cross-over with "the adventures of milk and cheese"

Kinda looks like an ice cream sandwich or a pop tart...

really...really weak issue. So far i've liked most everything i've read Waid do (since BND) and have enjoyed this arc quite a bit. But this issue seemed extremely hokey. The writing style reminded me very much of a golden age comic in the way every move was in text as a thought. I really enjoy old comics, but i think when i read GA comics, i know that is the style of writing i'll be reading, this seemed like a curve ball for me. 2.5 if i could, but got a 3.

I thought about this for a while, and ended up giving it a 4. I don't think it was as bad as it was disappointing. The 24/7 arc was so good up until this point, and I was hoping that the end would follow through, but I guess that wasn't meant to be. Between the exposition, and the fairly anti-climatic ending, this wasn't at all what I expected.
I'm very excited for "American Son", though.

Very sub-par issue. And that typo-- "laywer"? Really, editorial?
I'd have gone 2.5, but since the ifanboy rating system for some reason forces us into the rigid "1, 2, 3, 4 or 5" system, I had to go 2 on this one.
I gave it a 4 because of the art moreso than the actual story, which was super goofy in parts. And JJ Jameson Sr looks less in love and more I want to beat you senseless Aunt May.

Don't get me wrong, they have made Spider-Man fun again and I hate to nitpick but does no one proof these things any more? The misspelling of the word "lawyer" in the conversation between Peter and Michelle was annoying. Simple word to get right and kinda important to the conversation. Decent issue but not quite as good as the past few.

That cover is... awkward
