The Amazing Spider-Man: Dying Wish by Richard Elson, Dan Slott, Humberto Ramos
3.0
And so it comes to an end. I have to say, this may need re-reading before I determine my final rating as it flew by and I'm still processing it. Slott and his team have really been playing a hard game over the last 100 issues and it finally pays off.
The shock has long worn off (I mean, Pete is back now) but it's a powerful and audacious story and even more so when you consider how long they ran with Superior and that Amazing SM 2 came out during that time.
Faced with an almighty predicament, Pete really works hard to figure a way out while Ock has a ball, finally with the upper hand. I wasn't expecting this dynamic to be there from the first issue and the lack of preamble threw me (though on reflection it works well).
There are some great scenes (the Aunt May marriage gag was hilarious), the return of Hydro-man, some lovely (and heartbreaking) moments with MJ and Ramos kills it with the art yet again. Ultimately it's a heartbreaking story and the final interchange between them was handled nicely, setting up the new dynamic
The backup stories are pretty pointless, completely unrelated and robbing the main story of some of the power. Should have been left out.
Still, an interesting end to a fantastic era of Amazing SM.
