Racing to catch up on Amazing Spider-Man was a thrilling beat of finally glancing at some covers that in a way captured a snapshot of events in the pages within each issue. Waiting for the next, #512, to come in a week has reignited the crave for the monthly as Sins Past sneaks home what could be an extremely bad tasting or extremely well thought out play in the mythos. A black clad, expertly agile and damningly combative duo take on Spidey like the two from the vampire nation in Blade II in that scene in front of the floodlights. Gwen Stacy stays dead, but makes an appearance in flashbacks skirting a messy and retching prospect of a resurrection from the grave. (Mike Deadato, Jr. seems to be dropping in a lot of references to the Witches miniseries that's been hiding somewhere on the shelves at the Comic Shop.)
The previous arc, The Book of Ezekiel (#506-508), closed out the rounded and vague poster images for the series along with the secret of the source of Ezekiel's powers, similar in many aspects to the powers beheld by Spidey. Having to repay the gift of power in some way, Ezekiel's life choices leading up to the final moments provide a great statement on the choices given in life and what people should do if given a chance to make a change in other people's lives. Wait too long, and tomorrow may never come.
Having not read The Amazing Spider-Man for so long, coming back hasn't felt this good. There is an excited anticipation on what the events will reveal in the coming issues. Hopefully, another six month lag won't happen until the end of this current arc.
