the Amazing Spider-man #614 - Marvel

This was an ok book. You know going into it that somehow Spider-man is going to defeat Electro. He always does. He just has to use his brains to do it. However, in the process of this issue, they're fighting in the DB Building . . where Jonah used to run the Daily Bugle. Spider-man does indeed beat Electro, but their fight is so erratic and destructive that they also bring the building down to the ground. So while Electro was building a ground-swell following . . once the New Yorkers realized that he was responsible for bringing down an historic building on the Manhattan skyline . . he was immediately ostracized. They followed him as long as he voiced their concerns and frustrations. But as soon as he took away something they held dear to them . . they turned on him like a pack of rabid dogs. Spider-man turns him over to the police . . he thinks. We later find out that it was actually the Chameleon working in league with Sasha Kravinoff, Kraven's daughter. She's got a master plan brewing that's going to culminate in Spider-man's destruction. All in all I thought it was a decent book. Mark Waid did ok on the story-line. Although to me, Electro isn't really a big draw. But what I really didn't like about the book was Paul Azaceta's art. It was ok. I mean the guy obviously has talent. But it's definitely not a style that does anything for me. It kind of reminded me of the kind of stuff you saw in the books in the 70's. Anyways, it looks like next time Spider-man's going to have to go up against the Sandman.
