Freak is back? I dunno. I might sit this one out.

Barry Kitson is awesome. The artists on Amazing keep surprising me. Lots of great talent, although Bachalo less so than the others. It's tough to top Jiminez after all.

I'm ready to find out what's going on with Mr. Negative and the breath of the dragon. I also want to know why spidey is in the savage land in secret invasion, but hasn't left NY in Amazing.

@ACVol18 That's one thing that always bugs me about these big events. They sometimes don't bleed over into the titles of the characters involved.

We may not see the effects of Secret Invasion in some other titles untill it ends, or maybe if some huge things happens that they can't ignore. So far we have issue #1.

Crap. After-school special crap.

Read the letters column in this book. The answer to the first letter in the far right column is HILARIOUS!

I'm glad this was just a one-off with Freak, I wasn't quite up to 2 more issues with Freak. Loved May's reaction to Peter's plan to move.

This issue was far too cheesy in every way. The thing I just couldn't get over was freaks reaction to Spierman saying there were drugs in the trunk. "DRUGS!" ...yeah addicts are totally into non-specific drugs. Have you ever heard one buying drugs? "I'd like to buy some drugs" "Ok, how many would you like?" "I would like 4 drugs please" "there you go".
Ok, I possibly had too much of a problem with that.

Freak was better in this issue ... this is getting back to the old spidey feel.

BARRY KITSON should have an exclamation point up there. I m loving the talent involved w/ BND.
