The Amazing Spider-Man #539, "Back in Black, Part 1"
J. Michael Straczynski/Ron Garney/Bill Reinhold
Marvel

all you need to know about this issue is this:


and this:


and this:


and of course, this (which was the worst-kept secret of the last few months):


some notes:
- i was lucky to get my Straczynski books, the Supreme Power TPBs, autographed at the NYCC. i thought he was done writing Spider-Man. or maybe it was the FF. anyway, this better have a nice payoff. Kingpin, gunning for Spidey? wait, wasn't he killed when DD (Matt Murdock) finally got out of jail and smoked Bullseye's and his fat ass? i gotta go back and brush up on my Daredevil.

- i don't know but somehow Ron Garney's work is getting shoddy (could it be Bill Reinhold's inks?). i mean, i had this idea of clean, dynamic art on his Captain America run with Mark Waid. i will post the "Man Without a Country" series by the end of this month as a final salute to Steve "I Believe" Rogers.

- who wants to bet if Spidey really kills someone by the end of this story arc? shouldn't he blame Tony Stark for talking him into outing himself?
