Amazing Spider-Man: Renew Your Vows #3

Written by Gerry Conway | Drawn by Ryan Stegman

As much as this new series taps into that classic Spider-Man vibe, there's also plenty new to take in given that Peter Parker's wife and child have both joined him in the superhero game. The jury is still out on whether a spider-powered Mary Jane was really the best direction for her character, but that's not an issue with Annie May. Gerry Conway and Ryan Stegman make the most of her starring role here, delivering a surprisingly engaging school drama before dragging Annie May into the battle with Mole Man. She's proving to be an endearing character for many of the same reasons as Jon Kent is in the Superman books, equal parts precocious and overconfident. Naturally, Stegman excels at rendering flexible spider-heroes and massive mole monsters, but the school segments show just how much he can bring to the table even with more relatively mundane material. His character designs are all so varied and full of life that the story keeps humming along regardless of setting or situation. -Jesse

This new series does so much right, but it does face a continual uphill battle when it comes to proving that every member of the Parker household really needed super-powers. That said, this issue does showcase the potential in having Peter, MJ and Annie-May fighting villains together. Writer Gerry Conway writes a fun family dynamic, with Annie-May often taking advantage of the fact that her parents are too busy arguing over her safety to prevent her from leaping headlong into danger. There's little real sense of danger in this issue, particularly with the goofy portrayal of Mole Man, but Conway wraps up the conflict nicely and lays the groundwork for bigger challenges to come. And three times the Spider-heroes means three times the dynamic poses from artist Ryan Stegman closes out the arc every bit as strong as he began it, with detailed pages, stylish action scenes and an eye-catching texture that evokes the '90s while still maintaining a timeless quality. -Jesse

It's a strange time in comics when Superman and Spider-Man are both married and they both have crime-fighting kids. But unlike the Man of Steel, Peter, Mary Jane, and Annie Parker live in their own pocket universe in the Renew Your Vows series. And it's a fun world to visit, as we get to see the Parkers actually act like a family on a rare night off. Given that Gerry Conway has been writing comic book stories since the '70s, it shouldn't be a surprise that this issue reads like a throwback to an earlier era. But it's fun, and it gets to the point fast. Nathan Stockman did a terrific job rendering the Spidey family and capturing their facial expressions. However, he does seem to have a problem when drawing the evil 10-year old, Normie Osborn. Normie is the most questionable choice in this book, and he looks more like Alfred E. Neuman's son than the heir to the Osborn empire. It's really hard to take a villain like that seriously. It's not a deal breaker for this issue, but it is distracting whenever Normie appears. -Blair

Amazing Spider-Man: Renew Your Vows #6
Written by Gerry Conway | Drawn by Ryan Stegman

If Spider-Man's daughter inherited her powers directly from him, wouldn't that make her a mutant? The new issue of Amazing Spider-Man: Renew Your Vows doesn't directly address that question, but it does suggest that Annie May Parker may deserve a place among the X-Men in a world where Professor X and the original Wolverine, Phoenix and Cyclops are all still alive. The special guest stars are actually the best part of the issue, as Jean and Logan have a new dynamic and it's refreshing to see such a bitter and jaded Cyclops. Unfortunately, the returning villain and his minions are far less interesting and more one-dimensional. Stegman's art really captures the essence of the X-Men and their famous school, but he also does a great job of portraying Mary Jane's horror at letting her daughter go and the subtle doubt in her body language as she considers where and how Annie May should learn how to use her powers. It would be a treat if the X-Men become a regular part of this book, but it appears to be just part of a new storyline. Sometimes, this timeline is simply more compelling than the one Marvel is offering in its prime universe. This is one of those occasions. -Blair

7.6/10

Amazing Spider-Man: Renew Your Vows #6 (Published by Marvel Comics; Review by Kat Calamia; 'Rama Rating: 8 out of 10):

Annie May Parker may be settling into her spider-powers, but can she make the cut at Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters? The answer to that question makes Amazing Spider-Man: Renew Your Vows #6 the series' best issue to date. While X-fans will likely thrill at Gerry Conway's X-Men team, which mixes retro cast members like Jubilee and '90s-era Cyclops with swerves like Wolverine and Jean Grey having a baby (!!!), there's some fun humanity at the core of the story, as Mary-Jane doesn't want to ship Annie off the the school, all while trying to wrap her head around the mutant world presented in front of her. Mary Jane's confused feelings are perfectly portrayed through the facial expressions provided by Ryan's Stegman's artwork, who also give off a nostalgic feel as he showcases the X-Men's classic costumes. Combined with a fun twist on Annie's precognitive powers interacting with Cerebro, The Amazing Spider-Man: Renew Your Vows #6 is a strong story for the Parkers, but is also a great team up between the Spider-family and classic X-Men.

Is it wrong to like the alternate world X-Men of Amazing Spider-Man: Renew Your Vows more than the stars of the current X-books? Not when this is the only book that has the real Wolverine, Jean Grey, and Cyclops... even if their dynamic has radically changed. While Gerry Conway nails the old school X-Men and the reasoning behind the traitor, he falters a bit when it comes to Magneto and this issue's special guest villain. Conway just doesn't give Magneto the sense of humanity that he needed. Despite the X-Men's heavy presence, this issue is still devoted to Spidey, MJ, and their daughter as a crime-fighting trio. This probably wouldn't work as well if it was in the main continuity, but there is something charming about the way that Spidey gets upstaged by both his wife and his daughter. -Blair

The latest issue of Renew Your Vows hits upon an idea for Venom that seems like it should have been used years ago. And maybe it was, and I just missed it. But the execution of that idea in this issue is so well done that it seems like the natural evolution for Venom, and I love the new suit design. It would be hard to find someone closer to Peter than the current Venom host. This issue is also Ryan Stegman's debut as the co-writer on this book, and the story does have more life than some of the previous issues. It really is a lot of fun to watch Mary Jane and Spider-Man in a true crime-fighting partnership with their daughter. Whenever the marriage or family dynamics are in play, this book is gold. However, it falters a bit with the villains, particularly Normie Osborn. Asking the readers to take him seriously is simply a bridge too far. -Blair

Final Score:

7.4/10
