BONUS REVIEW by JOHN ROBINSON
Not one to enjoy being forced to read the Future Foundation when I subscribe to Amazing Spider-Man -
I was NOT looking forward to this issue. Clearly I should have more faith in Mr. Slott who's aided by
Fred Van Lente this issue with excellent dialogue work!
I very quickly forgot I was irritated with the FF taking over ASM as Slott nudges his
way in to almost replacing Roger Stern as my 2nd favorite Spidey writer!
The INFECTED storyline begins this issue, and yes there are Zombies. But it's okay, there's plenty of
twists and sub-plot fun as Dan Slott delivers another great Spidey storyline. Nobody GETS Spider-Man quite like Dan Slott does.
Stefano Caselli does an excellent job with the art, wish he was a regular ASM contributor and thanks to Slott, Spidey stays near the top of my MUST READ list once again.
Not to be missed!
