    Default Amazing Spider-Man#3

    spoilers:
    The split of Peter and Spidey is indeed the fault of the Iso generator. Peter and Spidey discuss the perks of being split in two. Spidey goes off to fight crime while Peter spends the next day helping Aunt May and hanging out at the bowling alley with Nora, Randy and MJ. The Tri-Sentinel attacks and MJ asks Peter if he should head off, but Peter says no. Earlier, we find Peter went to ESU where he discovers from Curt that the two mice affected by the iso generator exhibit different skills...one is more energetic and active, doing various tasks, the other is quiet and passive. Peter deduces he's been split into a powerful and responsible half. Meantime Spidey battles the tri-sentinel and clambers inside of it to toy with it's wiring, which sends it crashing into the street
    end of spoilers

    The issue was ok, decent fight scenes and Spidey using his smarts, a mix of hard and comic science, not sure if I'm ok with MJ being fine with Peter's actions in this one. The comedy as Peter and Spidey were talking through their situation was very bad and almost unlike them.

    Personally I thought it was a good issue, though slightly weaker then the previous two. It felt more like a filler issue to be honest, though I actually did love the scene between Peter and Spidey.

    spoilers:
    The Spider Sense joke especially made me laugh.

    That said, it was slightly predictable after it became clear that Spidey kept the science skills between the two of them that Peter therefore kept the power and responsibility parts. It's certainly going to be interesting, but I don't feel like it's all too shocking, as a few people more than speculated that it would be the case.

    Issue was ok and kinda predictable

    we knew that there will be a reason for them to rejoin but I was expecting the consequence to be more life-threatening

    I wonder when the preview with the hunters comes into fruition though I'm assuming Kraven I wouldn't be surprised if it can be someone else

    Another fun issue, although maybe not quite as captivating as the last two.

    I think this a fun story idea with a lot of potential. It'll be interesting to see is this five-issue arc type of thing, or if it's meant to lay down seeds for the entire run. Maybe a bit of both.

    Well, at this rate, I'll definitely be back again for issue #4. I can't remember the last Marvel series I stayed on past issue #10 (Probably Superior Spider-Man or Uncanny X-Force), so here's hoping this run can keep up the quality, and keep surprising us. Like I said, I'm really hoping to see Nick Spencer hit some strong emotional beats, but maybe I'm asking too much, because, as a comedy writer, he's certainly got some talent. Spider-Man needs both aspects, but there's no immediate rush - the story has been plenty entertaining so far.

    It was fine. Mostly exposition stuff and some plot threads are planted.

    So to clarify, does this mean Spidey got both the powers and scientific genius/skills? Becuase that seems quite unbalanced... What's Peter left with then?

    Peter got the morality.

    My guess would be "elements" like compassion and responsibility. There's got to be more that makes up Spider-Man than power and intellect.

    Decent issue, enjoyable but nothing spectacular I think is a fair summary of my opinion of it. A decent 7 out of 10 for me. Definitely going to be back for issue 4 at any rate.

    Another great issue.

    A little hokey but I don’t care. Character work is strong just like the past two issues.

    My only real gripe is that I have to wait till the next issue is out. I want it now.

    My guess, according to the asm#5 description,the power less peter will die a hero while the carefree spidey will have an uncle ben like moment in terms of power and responsibility.

    And that'll reset his relationship with MJ, as now he'll be more in need of her than ever to help shape him into a responsible person. Spencer could probably catch fire for this.

    A modern Amazing Fantasy #15. Spidey's origin all over again. With a twist!

    It was a good issue. Not as strong as the first and second issues.
