Farewell to a Legend RIP Peter Octavius.

Hey there InfiKnights, 'tis with a heavy heart that I write this review. The year of the Spider is over with the end of 2012 Spidey's 50th year in print Marvel has printed its 700th and final issue of Amazing Spiderman to soon be replaced with the new series Superior Spiderman out this month.
    This ending to an era not only marks the end of a 50 year 700 issue long series but the *Spoiler Alert* death of a beloved hero, Peter Parker is dead ........ well his mind is anyway his body is let's say under new management. Confused? Well then clearly you've failed to read Issue 700 of ASM. And to that I say..... Get your ass to a comic shop and buy it its a piece of history GO NOW!!!!! go ahead I'll be here when you get back. ...........did you get it? Did you read it? If you said no to any of those questions then the following review will spoil it for you THIS IS YOUR FINAL WARNING!!!

Okay now so Doc Ock was locked up dying on his death bed when he repeatedly starts muttering "Peter Parker". Spidey is summoned to his cell and asks for privacy and it's then in Octavius's cell on the Raft where he completes his sentence "I am Peter Parker" turns out sometime during the 'Ends of the Earth' fiasco Octavius was able to switch bodies with Peter and had full access to all his memories. His plan was to live on as Peter Parker as Peter died in his stead. Peter was able to stage a breakout and planned on reversing the swap but Ock was 2 steps ahead. They had a final battle ending with Pete instilling the morals of Spiderman to Octavius with his dying breath.
 
Well  as you all know I've loved the Dan Slott run of ASM including this storyline. It was beautifully written the art is wonderful, really capturing the intensity of each moment. One itsy bitsy problem......HOW THE HELL CAN YOU KILL OFF THE CONSCIOUSNESS OF THE MOST PROMINENT CHARACTER IN THE INDUSTRY REPLACING HIM WITH HIS ARCHENEMY....ARE YOU FUCKING INSANE?!?!?!?Peter Parker has been the staple of the marvel universe for years and now he's gone wtf man as I read the final issue I felt as though i was losing a close friend I sat in silence a few minutes afterward honestly sad for the first time in a while a fictional story actually tugged at my heart strings. Peter's dead RIP buddy you will be missed. 

The Amazing Spiderman: Ends of the Earth-The World in the Tentacles of Doc Ock

Hey there InfiKnights, Hector here. Well, it's that time of the month where we celebrate the 50th year of our favorite wall crawling, web swinging wonder. With every month bring us a different peek into the world of Spiderman and this month is no different. For June, I've decided to take a look into Peter's most recent adventures.

 In the latest storyline, 'Ends of the Earth', Doctor Octopus has created a way to either intensify the sun's rays or strengthen the ozone layer. Octavius claims if the world follows his orders, he would intensify the ozone layer before he dies. But if they refuse, he'd kill them all. Spidey is, of course, suspicious and with good reason because he (Doctor Octopus) never planned on saving anyone. After a lot of insanity, including  Ock taking control of the Avengers, he is stopped.

I loved this book! I can find nothing wrong with it. The writing was great. I loved the story. Dan Slott is doing a great job, like he did with Spider-Island and this is no different. You see a new confidence in Peter he's really making a difference and he's really growing as a person as well as a hero. The art is also great, perfect balance of art and realism that I enjoy. Kudos to Stefano Caselli and Humberto Ramos.Their art perfectly compliments the story. With that said, I've decided that this storyline gets a rating I've only ever given once before. That's right folks the coveted Bruce Wayne Batman (5 out or 5). Great job Slott and crew. And till next time InfiKnights, Keep Slinging!
