Secret Invasion: the Amazing Spiderman #1 - Marvel


Ok, 1 more Spider-man book out this week. But honestly, this one really revolves more around Jackpot . . I almost called her Slingshot . . than necessarily Spider-man. Actually it's a Secret Invasion book, but . . we don't actually see a Skrull until the final couple of pages. Jackpot has gone to the DB to try to explain herself when the offices are attacked by . . something that looks like . . Spider-man. Jackpot puts up a noble fight, but you just knew she wasn't going to have it in her to stand up to this Super-Skrull. On the final page of the issue, it looks like he's getting ready to pound her into the floor. This mini-series is being brought to us by Brian Reed and Marco Santucci. Marco's pencils really show a lot of promise. He's one of those talents that's not quite there yet, but . . he's really close. Some of his panels in this book are really sharp looking. But then others . . are just mediocre. But that comes with experience and practice. He'll get there. He really shows a lot of promise. This should be an interesting story. But really, I bought it because it's a Spider-man book, not necessarily because it's a Secret Invasion book. I think you all know by now what I think about that. It was an interesting first issue. I guess we'll just have to wait and see if all 3 issues have the same intensity. Hopefully!
