Amazing Spider-Man 615 Review: Sandman Strikes
Amazing Spider-Man #615 review and SPOILERS, written by Fred Van Lente (awesome name) and drawn by Javier Pulido, continuing The Gauntlet storyline.
Keemia is a little girl living in the city all to herself. All hints point to The Sandman taking care of her in her own little castle. Who is she? Why is she being taken care of? What happened to her parents?
Peter Parker gets an assignment from Glory at Major JJJ’s office. An evidence screw-up at the crime lab is making the city look bad, so J. Jonah Jameson wants a good press release spin showing that everything is and wants to blame Carlie Cooper.
As Peter takes pictures, Carlie is being escorted from the building and begs Peter to believe her innocence (Peter has had a crush on her).
So Spider-Man kinda copies Dick Grayon in Batman #694 and becomes the World’s Greatest Detective and figures out that a series of murders leads to Governors Island (I love when Marvel Comics shows weird areas in New York that are closed to the public…I was always interested in those areas when I lived in NY.)
Turns out Sandman has the little girl, he framed Carlie, and Spidey thinks Sandman is a murderer too (yeah, right). They fight and Spidey is left in a compromising last page, surrounded by a bunch of different Sandman versions from over the years.
Solid issue- very clean and retro art, setup issue, no complaints here. Last 4 issues of ASM were great. If you’re a casual Spidey fan or if you have felt burnt since Brand New Day, you should check The Gauntlet out- the editorial direction is finally going back to what makes Peter Parker great.
