Amazing Spider-Man #685 *SPOILERS*

[Ravin' Ray]

Oh, Otto, what have you done?

This is it, this is really it. The proverbial s_ has hit the ceiling and it's reached a point of no return.

Ok, that's one of my initial reactions. The second is, I wish Dan had thrown me, pedroparkero, Dagman, and others a bone.

spoilers:

With S.H.I.E.L.D. bearing down on the three they are placed under arrest and Rhino freed but they make good on their escape. Sable pushes Sandman to confess (for you Horizon Labs wannabees, the acid she used is most likely hydrogen fluoride based that affects silica but leaves plastic, like her bottle, unaffected) as Spidey inches ever so closer to crossing his "no one dies" line. (Foreshadowing?) People on the street worldwide voice their support for Otto (none from the Philippines?) as Chameleon and Mysterio debate continuing the plan with the cash already in. Otto extends offer to more supervillains to help him (I recognize Crossbones), but Titanium Man rats on him to Widow. Tipped, Spidey calls in help from superheroes worldwide (again, none from the Philippines?) and they do their part. Spidey thanks Sable for the words of support, as MJ goes into an interior monologue about her own confidence in Peter (with Jonah unwittingly contributing). (Again, another foreshadowing about the Peter/MJ relationship?) The three track Otto's largest facility in Romania right next to Symkaria, only to have Otto tell them it's deserted, everything's in place, and with the flick of a switch, starts to burn up half of Earth, including Symkaria. And why the hell? Coz he can't bear inferior folks outliving him, to oversimplify it.

end of spoilers

Dan, oh Dan, where are you taking this next? You've raised the stakes so high, it's scary.

It's only 9:20 am story spoiled before my LCS is open.

Ock said he had plans within plans, so I've got to think there's something else to it. Especially since his secret pact with Rhino has yet to be revealed, and it's kind of moot if the entire earth is dead.

I liked Pete's tender moment with Sable...and how it segueways into some secret plan on MJ's part to make sure the world recognizes Pete as the hero he really is. I suspect we're inching closer to the scenario where MJ fans get what they want, but now how they want it...

It's in spoiler text. Why did you highlight it?

[OkieDokiLoki]

I see sad faces. I'm scared. ._.;

[One More Day]

Anyone else notice Dan Slott was in this issue?

Fantastic issue! This issue really picked up and progressed the story and raised the stakes, there is now a definite sense of urgency. Only drawback was MJ was in this issue, so points off for that

Grade: A

Anyone else notice Dan Slott was in this issue?

And was that Humberto Ramos interviewed as well?

And was that Humberto Ramos interviewed as well?

Was it? I've never had the pleasure of meeting him and I don't know what he looks like. Were the interviews all cameos by a Spidey worker?

God... I read Spider-man comics for years, but, that's probably one of Ock's most devious plans! For the first time in ages, Spider-man is stepping in a leader postion for a bunch of (B) heroes! And... heck, curse me if you want, but, I'm waiting for a Spidey x Sable tender moment for ages (I hope for another kiss until the final part )!

I'm fangasming here! Loved this issue!

Final grade: 10

You can't really expect for Spidey to kiss Silver Sable when Mary Jane is on his mind, can he? It seems that things WILL go in the direction of Mary Jane once again.

But, at least you now know that Ms. Marvel isn't the only other person who has Spidey's interest in mind.

At least Dan was able to do something that no other previous Spidey writer has ever done the Earth-616 continuity: Acknowledge Silver's feelings for Spider-Man. Also, if Dan had gotten his way, it might have been the Black Cat in that situation. Let's be glad that Silver Sable was used at all.

[ShaggyB]

huge huge MJ nod for those of you following the "will they, wont they" part of the story.... thats all im saying.

[ShaggyB]
