Amazing Spider-Man Special #1 Review

The Amazing Spider-Man Special #1: Inhuman Error part 1: Just when Spidey thinks everything is back to normal, the sky almost actually starts falling. There's a bunch of animal-beings (that should be right up Spidey's alley) attacking the Inhuman city of Attilan, and the lovely Medusa asks Spider-Man for his assistance. Spider-Man, who's SUPER desperate for a date, accepts. Doesn't he know that Medusa is kinda married to Black Bolt? I guess, when you gotta have it, you gotta have it.
The Good: I was super impressed by the writing in this issue. Jeff Loveness does a really good job on the characters, and the over all story in general. When you're doing a big three part crossover like this, it's a really tough balancing act because you don't want to cram too much story into one part, only to have another part be a little light when it comes to story. In my opinion, this issue has the perfect amount of story, and it ends on a pretty good cliffhanger. Also, the art by Luca Pizzari is pretty great. He has a special talent for drawing facial expressions.
The Bad:Despite how good the story and characterization is, there's a little too much cracking wise from Spider-Man this issue. It's not quite what I'd call "annoying". but after awhile, it get to be a bit much.
What you should do: You need to buy this one. Once you read this, you'll be in for the whole 3 part story, and it looks to be pretty good.
