Lame-Ass Storytelling 101.

Writer:

LAST TIME: Doc Ock made new arms and used them to beat the shit out of Spider-Man and Gold Goblin. 

The Amazing Spider-Man (vol. 6) #29 and 30. Written by Zeb Wells and Ed McGuinness. 

Well, judging by the cover, ANYTHING could happen in this issue, but it's most likely gonna feature Spider-Man. 

And so, it does. The issue begins with ol' Spidey waking up to find himself being carried by J. Jonah Jameson and Doc Ock's robotic arms in a splash page that imitates a better comic that I wish I were reading instead of this shit. (Amazing Fantasy #15, from all the way back in 1962).

Ock has taken Norman to a place where he can regain his memories of being the Green Goblin while also showing moments from comics that I wish I were reading instead of this shit. (Superior Spider-Man's Goblin Nation arc...*)

*Sidenote: Why was issue 31 the series finale if there were 2 issues afterwards? We'll get to that eventually. 

Back with JJJ and Spidey, they are debating about how they're gonna stop Ock, and they find out that Ock's arms have teeth that are actually not teeth and they're like little wire thingies that connect to your brain. MEANWHILE: A robbery is stopped by a spider guy... Wait, I thought Spidey was with Jonah? Well, it's actually my favorite character in the entire run, Rek-Rap, who is now being a true hero. God bless him. He doesn't show up for the rest of the arc.

Well, meanwhile, Ock is still threatening Norman and shit, and Spidey modifies Ock's arms and puts on his classic costume... Why? Wouldn't it be more convenient to wear the epic battle suit?

Ock injects some goblin serum thing on Norman's SUPER BUILT arm and the issue ends on a cliffhanger.

Same shit as the last issue. Though I forgot what rating I gave it, so I'm gonna give this one a 7/10 for trying. 

The cover is pretty standard, I guess. 

Norman is actually now immune to the Goblin formula... I have not read the rest of the run, so I wouldn't know if the Goblin persona actually came back. Ock is PISSED, so he starts beating the shit out of Norman.

In an amusing twist, Spidey's new robotic arms make him talk like how he did all the way back in the days of the Superior Spider-Man series, which means that Spider-Man now talks like a rude jerk. Anyway, Spidey finally swoops in to save Norman Osborn. There's an awesome fight scene and stuff between Ock and Peter, they're also calling themselves names, and the shirtless Norman also kicks some ass.

They win, Spidey takes off his shitty robot arms, and Norman reflects on the events that have been going on in the last few issues. The end or whatever the fuck.

This issue is pretty lame-o. Still, I'd give it a 7/10 because it's not as bad as issue 26. It's no [INSERT BEST SPIDEY COMIC EVER HERE], though.

Reviewing things I haven't seen!

Writer:
That new Spider-Man TV show just came out, but I don't have Disney+, everyone's talking about it and I don't want to be an outcast, so I'm gonna do the ballsiest thing ever, I'm gonna lose my credibility as a reviewer! I bet the other review sites are gonna be so proud of me... Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, written by Jeff Trammel and directed by Mel Zwyer, a show inspired by the comic book titled "Spider-Man", and also a little bit inspired by the MCU films featuring "Spider-Man", it was announced somewhere around 2022, and the first 2 episodes were released yesterday. Man, I remember when we thought the show was NEVER coming out.  First of all, the intro features a rap song that samples the 1967 Spider-Man theme song. The track is titled "Neighbor Like Me"by the Match Club (featuring Relaye and Melo Makes Music... Okay, Melo, now I know that you make music and not sandwiches). Let's talk about this theme song. First off, ...

The Lowest Point In Modern Spider-Man Comics.

Writer:
One thing I didn't want to admit is that I am not a fan of how the recent Amazing Spider-Man comics have been going lately, it seems that the series is not in good hands and that nothing is going to get better... So, why exactly did I not want to admit this? Well, because I try to be optimistic when it comes to Marvel comics, I really have hope that Amazing Spider-Man is gonna be good again, I have hope that the comics about my favorite character will have good storytelling, so what the fuck is going on? It all started in 2006, with a little comic called Civil War, Spidey had his identity revealed and it led to a lot of chaos in his stories, Aunt May was dying again (this time because of a bullet wound), and no hospital will do anything because apparently Spidey is a criminal or something like that. This led to One More Day, where Peter just cannot let go of Aunt May and in order to save her life, he sells his marriage to Mephisto. This comic was shitty, not the worst, but it was a...

THE LATEST NEWS.

Writer:
 Welp, I'm pissed at the world because the news suck, they're not what I want to hear, they're so inconsiderate... so, I'm gonna make MY OWN news. Plus, I'm gonna have you guys play a little guessing game and whoever guesses correctly is gonna win... A NO-PRIZE! WORLD NEWZZZ: That's right, everyone, WORLD WAR III is about to happen, and there's nothing you can do about it. You're fucked. Get ready to see violence for the next 6 or so years. The US government has finally decided to open Area 51 to the public, everyone can just go there and take a good look at whatever the hell was going on in there... looks like that Area 51 raid was pointless. You can now just  NASA just announced that it looks like Earth is getting another moon (again) soon, and it is... Venus? Wow, that is just insane. I just wonder what's gonna happen to the werewolves now. Many trusted sources are saying that North America might connect to Europe due to continental drift soon, so...
