The Amazing Spider-Man Super Special #1

Set during the events of The Clone Saga and the first chapter of the Planet of the Symbiotes arc, The Amazing Spider-Man Super Special #1 sees the story begin with both Spider-Man and Venom dealing with their own issues. Spider-Man is fighting Neo-Luddite terrorists intent on destroying a new device as Venom appears to help him. During the fight, Spider-Man wonders if Eddie has changed and notices that he and the symbiote don't seem to work together. As one of the terrorists get away with one of the new weapons, Spider-Man captures the others while Venom flees the scene. Back home, Peter wonders about what the relationship between Eddie and the symbiote is like as he investigates the terrorists. When Eddie begins to question the relationship, the symbiote emits a psychic wail that certain people feel, including a comatose Cletus Kasady and soon after a ship full of symbiotes lands on Earth. The writing from David Michelinie is quite good, especially in setting up the rest of the story arc, though often filled with too much exposition. It doesn't help in how certain panels, Bill Oakley's lettering takes up a large amount of them but not too much. Being a comic from mid-90s Marvel, the artwork is only slightly what you expect, often being overly detailed but not too much and only making characters like Eddie Brock be overly bulky. Dave Hoover, Ralph Cabrera, and Tom Smith all did a good, though not perfect, job with the penciling, inking, and coloring. The Amazing Spider-Man Super Special #1 is a really good comic to pick up, especially considering the infamous arc it's set during. Over all: 98%
