Amazing Reads: Amazing Spider-Man #11

We've passed the big #10 and now we have 11, the return of Doc Ock! Do we know his name yet? Has he been called Otto Octavius? Do any of you care? We also get pay off to that little side story of Betty Brant which has been boiling over for a few months.

Okay...I get it, Doc Ock is bad ass. Can we move on?

Amazing Reads: Amazing Spider-Man #10

And so we reach double digits with the Amazing Spider-Man, even though this will mark his twelfth proper appearance in comics by this point. (If my math is correct. It may not be.) So which landmark awesome villain awaits us for this landmark 10th issue. ...The what nows? Enforcers? Now wait a second, and let me look up these villains in the handy dandy Spider-Man Encyclopedia...

They get a full page. A bunch of thugs, who for some reason, end up working for Kingpin, surprise surprise. You know, now I'm just waiting for the Green Goblin to show up. Four issues? YAY! So lets swing into Amazing Spider-Man #10.

Hm...J. Jonah hates Spider-Man...but why!

Amazing Reads: Amazing Spider-Man #9

Here we are, one away from the big milestone of #10. And what do we have for this much belated Amazing Reads. Electro? Ohhh I like. I always had a weird relationship with Electro. Growing up I always thought he was a B-lister. I mean no Doc Ock, or Goblin, and certainly not Venom or Carnage. (What I grew up in the 90s!) But I've come to appreciate this villain. That and he got his own staring role as a villain in a video game. Also, a member of the classic Sinister Six. Speaking of which, Doc Ock, Sandman, Vulture. Hey, we're over half way there! Sweet!

The Defeat of Spider-Man! Like in Issues 3, 4, and 7!

Amazing Reads: Amazing Spider-Man #7

Well, here we are, and our first return appearance of a villain. Of course it isn't the menacing Doc Ock, or well, I'd say Lizard, but a bit much, since it was the last issue. Come to think of it, we really haven't had that many impressive villains thus far. Chameleon was dull, Sandman was crappy. Oh, and Tinkerer was an alien, but not really, but that isn't revealed for a 100 or so comics, so let's just go with the alien. For those who want to imagine that line would sound when spoken, just say it out loud without pausing for breath. 

Back to point. Amazing Spider-Man #7. The Vulture returns. Yay...

The most dangerous foe of all. An 80 year old man!

Amazing Reads: Amazing Spider-Man #6

Welcome! This episode...can I call these this? Whatever. This Episode, we look at the first appearance of the Lizard! Villainous star of The Amazing Spider-Man. Making only the Green Goblin the only villain not to appear into the comics that we have seen in the films. (In this series, of course he has appeared in the comics). Well, him and Venom (That wasn't Venom!) and Harry Osborne as the Green Goblin, but...that doesn't matter. That was Spider-Man 3, that movie doesn't exist.

Right. Onto Amazing Spider-Man #6.

Hey, I say this movie!

Amazing Reads: Amazing Spider-Man #5

And so we come to this. Our Fifth Amazing Spider-Man. This time we get the villainous Dr. Doom. Because, well, neither Stan Lee nor Ditko felt like pulling another animal out of their sack to create a new villain this month. So what happens when the Spider-Man faces off against the metal masked freak? Well, stay tuned, and we shall see.
Why did it have to happen? Come on text box...why?
