  ASM twenty-five is an amazing continuation of the Death Spiral event. This creative team put together an astonishing issue on every scale. You continue to get character development, plot twists, as well as sprinkles of different emotions. This story isn’t just panel to panel dark and serious. There are added comedic puns that are easy to pick up on. Read Full Review

  This story arc continues to be a lot of fun, though with it crossing over into the regular Venom title, I feel like I’m getting a slightly lighter version of events, as I don’t read Venom and don’t intend to. Read Full Review

  The Death Spiral story is one you do not want to miss out on, and this issue raises the stakes even further than before. An incredible story from Joe Kelly, together with stunning artwork from an incredible team make this an issue you absolutely cannot pass up on! Read Full Review

  Amazing Spider-Man #25 hits that sweet spot of spectacle and intrigue. The mystery keeps tightening while the character drama adds weight to every punch thrown. McGuinness and the art team elevate the issue with bold, energetic visuals, turning Carnage into an unforgettable presence on every page. It may not deliver major answers yet, but it is a confident, entertaining chapter that keeps the momentum strong heading into the back half of the event. Read Full Review

  The Amazing Spider-Man #25 is another inch forward towards the conclusion of this crossover, filling its time with entertaining action and character writing that, more often than not, fails to grasp the potential depth this story has in its core. That being said, it is one of the more thoughtful symbiote slap fests we've had in the pages of Spider-Man in a hot minute, and continues to be fun no matter its short comings. Read Full Review

  Amazing Spider-Man #25 looks like a big deal on the surface, with loud art, a brutal premise, and plenty of talk about spirals and stakes, but once you get past the packaging you are left with a hollow middle chapter that refuses to let its best characters actually drive the story. The pros, clear visual storytelling and a premise that could support a sharper, more personal horror arc, are outweighed by cons like Eddie’s benched agency, Torment’s generic villain voice, and a suffocating reliance on recap and setup over real progression. If you are already locked into Death Spiral and collecting every issue, this chapter will keep your binder complete, but if you are working with a limited comics budget and hunting for issues that respect your time with strong standalone value, Amazing Spider-Man #25 is a miss you can safely leave on the shelf.
