The Pals check back in on Amazing Spider-Man in a HUGE issue that sets up the future of the series, but is it any good? We also review the return of Superior Spider-Man, the end of Jed Mckay's Avengers first arc, Christian Ward's Batman Black Label book, and a unique look at Wesley Dodds Sandman! All that, and we discuss Marvel Studios' latest woes and the dismantling of the Disney + Daredevil TV show.
