Let me just say that this isn't perfect, but it was certainly very enjoyable. I have to say that Kubert's art seemed kind of hurried and patchy in places (although very nice in other parts). There's also heavy reliance on (SPOILER ALERT!) the now often repeated tactic of exposing Norman Osborn's evils to the world via news media outlets. Seriously, that resolution's been used in three or four books over the last two months hasn't it? I won't dwell on the fact that Spidey enters Osborn's HQ and steals the information he needs in a fashion that's way beyond unfeasibly easy.
Let's just move on to what's great shall we? In terms of script, Slott is one of the most gifted Spider-man writers of the moment. Those one liners and the general banter are perfectly in character and never come across as corny or overly beholden to pop culture. He really gets the Spidey persona. However, more important than that is what the essence of this comic is - Peter Parker finally engages directly with Norman Osborn in the hopes of actually stopping the man. Despite all the despotic tendencies and "I want to rule the world" stuff we have to remember that, at heart, Normie is a Spider-man villain. Basically he's THE Spidey villain. They've been locked in this relationship of mutual loathing for a long time now, and it really should be the Webhead that brings him down. Of course, he doesn't manage that here, and I guess we've known that was gonna happen ever since the listings for Siege started going up. Still there's a glimmer of hope here, in the sense that this is the Spidey we all love. The one that's desperately responsible for everyone else, and spends every minute worrying about just what is the right thing to do. This is the heroic Spidey who, right to the end, fights on against all odds, and in those respects this issue was a real joy to read.
Art: 4 - Very Good
