Avenging Spider-Man has kind of started to lose it's purpose anymore. It's still the Spidey team-up book, but I just feel it's really redundant now. With all of the guest-stars that are in Amazing Spider-Man each month, what's the point of this title? Maybe it's just the fact that the last few issues haven't been that great. This latest issue continues that disappointing trend.
This issue was truly crappy. From horrible dialog, to a very uninteresting plot, to a lame new character. I'm not sure if it's because this came out before Captain Marvel #1 and yet takes place AFTER that, or what. All I know is, since this was written by the same writer of the new Captain Marvel book, then that book is not going to last long. I couldn't stand any of the characters in this issue. I didn't care if they won or lost, lived or died. And I like Spider-Man and Carol Danvers. All I cared about was for this issue to be over and to see who Spidey would team-up with next month. Imagine my horror when the dreaded "To be continued" reared it's ugly face on the last page. Ugh.
At least the art was nice. It's by the Dodsons, so that's no shock. But even they couldn't make me care about Carol's new costume. What was wrong with her old costume? Heck, they could've at least put her back in her original one.
On a side note, I will say I like the art on the new Captain Marvel book. So it at least has one good thing going for it. Maybe one of you will tell me if the story and dialog is any good. Change my mind for me people!
Here's to hoping issue #11 comes by a lot quicker so it washes the taste of this arc out of my mouth. But then again, it could also be another disaster in the waiting...
