Life is never easy for Spider-Man. If it's not one thing -- Ned Leeds getting arrested, Ned's wife Betty Brant looking for the dangerous Winkler device, and Peter's ex, Mary Jane, re-etering his life as the superhero Jackpot -- it's another. In this case, it's the escape of Ben Reilly (aka Chasm, Peter Parker's rogue clone), who was freed from the Limbo Embassy. Having reunited with his girlfriend Hallow's Eve, Chasm is now ready to exact revenge on Spider-Man and raise hell in a very literal sense.

Written by Zeb Wells, illustrated by Todd Nauck, colored by Sonia Oback and lettered by VC's Joe Caramagna, Amazing Spider-Man #49 is the continuation of one of the Marvel Comics hero's longest slow-burn of a plot. Peter still can't catch a break as either himself or Spider-Man, but at least as Spider-Man, he has a little more in his favor. But with him and Jackpot in the dark about Ben's return, his demonic alliance and his amassing of a terrifying supernatural army, Peter's sole advantage may be short-lived.

The Amazing Spider-Man #49 Doesn’t Have Enough Pages To Cover All Its Plot Points

The Issue’s Promising Ideas Didn't Deliver Enough of the Juicy Stuff

The Amazing Spider-Man #49 is clearly building up to something big, even beyond the long-awaited and fraught battle and confrontation between Chasm and Spider-Man. Although this run tied up some loose ends with each issue, many are still left hanging haphazardly. Of course, with a run this long, it's inevitably going to have a lot of things happening over an extended amount of time. Plots are picked up, developed, resolved and dropped -- or intermingled with other, concurrent and important subplots. Such is the case with this issue. With Aunt Anna sane and freed, there's plenty of new drama to be had, like the complicated rapport and chemistry between exes Spider-Man and Jackpot, Ben and Hallows' Eve's revenge via demonic army, and Betty's precarious search for the Winkler device to vindicate her husband. Add Peter's infamously difficult personal life on top of all these, and the result is a stuffed stew with hundreds of ingredients, plenty of spice and maybe a touch too much seasoning.

Wells is no stranger to complex, long-running plots, as his impressive track record in comics can attest to. However, with the recent issues of The Amazing Spider-Man, Wells has too much on his plate, and this load isn't easy to balance at all. The strongest part of this new arc and this issue is the reunion and reintroduction of Chasm and Hallows' Eve, plus their new ally in Goblin Queen. As is typical for any Spider-Man issue, anything featuring the rogues gallery is worth reading. Ben and Peter have a special kind of rivalry, one that verges on a unique sort of personal. Sadly, the confrontation between the hero and the villains is cut short, but at least what little is shown delivers. The rest of the issue deals with setup, beginning with Peter's predictably ill-fated and terrible date up until Betty's distress call. At this point, it's a given that Peter's life is inordinately and unfairly hard, but in this run, it borders on gratuitous. Worse, Peter's exaggerated personal problems get in the way of Spider-Man's comparatively more exciting and gratifying superhero antics, which is where all the characters are all clearly in their element.

The Amazing Spider-Man #49 Treads Familiar Ground & Meanders Too Much

The Issue Hints at the Dark Arc Ahead, but Repeats Itself Too Often

The Amazing Spider-Man #49's visuals are surprisingly earthy and gritty for a Spider-Man comic. Its color palette is also quite subdued, bordering on muddy. Guest artist Todd Nauck has a particularly rendered art style, with thick and bold line art, strong and assertive black placement, plus visually gravelly textures. The heavy blacks have harsh, jagged and scratching edges, and combined with Sonia Oback's colors -- a stormy and wintry palette of drained earth tones, urban darkness, and pebbled, grainy tones -- the effect is hard and grounding. Even the bold shades of the superheroes and villains -- the vibrant red of Spider-Man, the glowing colors of supernatural powers, the scorching secondary washes of both Chasm and Hallows' Eve -- look aged and weathered. The combination of the art and visuals, with letterer Joe Caramagna's blocky lettering style, gives The Amazing Spider-Man #49 an old-school, 80s pulpy Dark Age vibe that suits the issue's darker turn.

These elements suit Wells's run of The Amazing Spider-Man, which only got more muddied and convoluted with each passing issue. New elements are constantly introduced, foreshadowed, dropped, paused and picked back up over time. While not necessarily the most memorable or eye-catching comic on the shelf, it's reasonably effective and appropriate. The Amazing Spider-Man #49, like its preceding issues, spends a lot of time building upon elements already introduced, leading readers along established threads without completing them. Although a little on the tangled and unfocused side, this is a decent read that finally gets to the main, meaty, demonic army of the dead that the run has been hinting at for so long. It's also nice to finally see Spider-Man back to doing what he does best after far too long.

The Amazing Spider-Man #49 is now available in stores.
