This Paul Jenkins scripted Spider-Man/ Lizard tale is actually pretty, though it loses its way slightly towards the end. Jenkins premise, that Curt Connors has actually been in control of the Lizard all along, not a victim of the change as previously thought, is a nice twist. Jenkins actually writes Connors probably the best he has ever been written, giving him a almost Shakespearean sadness and a whole lot of humanity, but the novelty wears off a little by the end as standard fisticuffs ensue.

The stylised art is very marmite, you’ll love it or hate it, I actually enjoyed it. The bonus, painted tale is also very nice. Simple, but with a nice message. Not a classic, but a solid read.

I'm liking the way the art is going in this one, and the Curt Conners/Lizard storyline is good, even if the ending feels a bit off from the rest of the story arc. Not a terrible Spidey story, but not my favorite.

The first four issues with Connors was pretty forgettable, but the last issue was a standalone told from the perspective of a young man with palsy who cannot speak or move. It was very human and touching, and the art from Paolo Rivera was fantastic.

I became a fan of Damien Scott's art during his run on BATGIRL for DC. He's just great at doing these insane perspectives, which was cool to see on SPidey, but at the same time a lot of his art looks really rushed here-- which is a shame. This trade collects the 3 issue Lizard storyline (Paul Jenkins/Scott) and a stand-alone, all-painted issue (Jenkins/Paolo Rivera). The painted story was kind of a bold move-- focusing on a guy with cerebral palsy who likes to hang out on the roof top looking ou I became a fan of Damien Scott's art during his run on BATGIRL for DC.

One night he gets to witness a showdown between Spidey and Morbius, and then some... What sucks is that that issue was probably really underrated when it came out, and has since gotten lost in the mix.

A story featuring Spider-man and the Lizard. Not one I liked very much. And I really don't like the drawings much either. Seems the figures are off somehow. Second story was very interesting indeed.

A decent Lizard story. Curt Connors is a pretty tragic character to some degree. I really really liked the end comic about the kid with palsy though.
