So, here we go with Amazing Spider-Man Volume 4. We'll see how long it lasts before it gets relaunched or brought back into the volume 1 numbering.
Issue 1 was pretty good. The joke that Spider-Man made to Leo about Kraven's nipples made me laugh out loud. It's a bit weird to see Peter being so successful, but they still made him a bit of a goof, so it worked. They addressed the "poor man's Tony Stark" issue head on, whether or not they addressed it satisfactorily is another issue. But I'm interested in the new direction.
Slott mentioned having a love triangle as a part of the new status quo. I wonder if that's going to be between Peter, Lian, and Bobbi.
Then again, it might be between Peter and Anna Maria, and the living brain. (Just kidding). That was probably my least favourite part, though. Let it go.
However, I do like the corporate sabotage/espionage angle with Sanjani.
On a side note, when Peter encrypted his webware watch, he used the code phrase "Reilly. Room 30. Crusher Hogan." I understood the first and last reference, but what does room 30 refer to?
And then there was the return of Regent. I feel like he wasn't interesting enough to bring back, but again. I do like the way Slott folded him into to the storyline that he has been developing all along.
