Spider-man #572 Review

Spider-Man #572
It cannot be stressed enough how much better the "New Ways to Die" arc is than the garbage known as "Brand New Day" was. Not only is this new arc better, but it manages to clean up all the crap that "Brand New Day" created as well. Without giving too much away, the onslaught of new villains that have been created have been fit in to "New Ways to Die" and are finally made relevant.

With just one issue left now, issue #572 puts everything together to set the stage for what looks to be a great finale. The Spider-tracer plot appears to be coming to a close, as well as many other plot lines that have been lingering along.The final page also offers something that a lot of fans have most likely been wondering about in the back of their minds, but didn't know if it would come out.

If there is one gripe this issue offers, it is that Spider-man seems to have too easily gotten around being traced by Osborn after his camera was found with a frequency tracker on it. Still, The Amazing Spider-man series seems to be on the right track and with any luck, the next arc will hopefully move things along even further. There are still plenty of questions to answer, but "New Ways to Die" is at least attempting to fix all that is broken in the world of Spider-man.
