  The Vulture can fly because of harnessed magnetic power? Has Stan Lee ever taken a science class?

  So let me get this straight....there are holes all around the "resisto-glass enclosure" to get the air OUT of it and keep more from getting IN?

  I've always loved how the Vulture fooled the jewelers. Of course this is stupid and anti-scientific, but I like it. One star less for the stupid Tinkerer story though. That one clearly showed that there still were some doubts as to where the Spiderman comic was heading to (Fantastic Four?).

  Two great stories! The aliens in the Tinkerer story feel very much out of place, although to be honest, most of my exposure to Spider-Man up to this point is the old cartoon. Other than that, though, I really like the way this series is going, and it's only been two issues (or three, if you count Amazing Fantasy #15).

I've been fairly critical of Ditko's art up previously, but I have to say that for the most part, he did a very fine job here. I guess I can narrow it down and say I really don't like the way he does faces, at least when it's not a close-up. The people have no eyes, for one thing....

  So much goes on: Parker gets money, it is almost a job, and why to Johna? I would say it was sort of Peter's sarcasm! Things are fixed at home now (rent, bills, etc.), Peter puts spare web cartridges in his belt and in the end.. could it be that Spider Man put the building on fire??? Oh public menace!!

  Ignoring Stan Lee's obsession with magnetic energy (Which thankfully leads to one of the best comic book villains of all time in a short while), The Vulture story was top notch compared to the other stuff so far. The Tinkerer story was average (which makes it pretty bad compared to other Spider-Man stuff).

And so far every issue has had some sort of development in Peter Parker's life, which is astonishing compared to the rest of the Marvel universe and all it's relatively flat characters (at least for now).

  Like the vulture, dislike these double features of the same character.

  The vulture story was enjoyable, you just have to suspend belief to get past all the scientific kinks. The tinkerer/alien story was pretty lame for spider-man.

  I love the Vulture! Something about an old geezer supervillain just works for me. The Tinkerer was pretty stupid, but who cares? Great stuff.

  I really lime The Vulture's debut here, but the Tinkerer story is bad for this run, though it is still decent, and has some neat visuals.

  God I found this one awful. The tinkerer was an appalling villan, the aliens were just pathetic and the vulture made a mockery of science in everyday possible.

Really hoping Spider-Man picks up later on.

  Maybe I'm jaded by the fact that modern day Spider-Man never has an unambiguous win, but it was nice to see Peter Parker come out on top across the board in the Vulture story. The villain was locked up and Pete got money to pay rent for the year and buy Aunt May new kitchen appliances! Go Pete!

  I'm not a big fan of the Vulture. I hope he doesn't have too many appearances throughout the years.

  i really like the vulture. brilliant villain. i can see that amazing spider-man is head and shoulders above the other marvels - even fantastic four at this point. while ff does gain momentum soon (and don't get me wrong there are already some great ff stories in there) i feel that from the off our friendly neighbourhood spider-man already has depth in character, the supporting cast are superb and the villains are top notch.

except of course for the tinkerer and his bloody aliens!! one deducted star for that!
