    Comicsverse - Matt Attanasio Feb 9, 2018

    The slow march towards "Go Down Swinging" continues in a good way with AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #795. Slott and Gage understand the art of building up an event. All of this will make the payoff so much better. Read Full Review

    IGN - Jesse Schedeen Feb 7, 2018

    Spider-Man and Loki make a great team. That was true during J. Michael Straczynski's time on Amazing Spider-Man, and it's true now. This issue makes the most of each character's respective status quo as they briefly join forces, even as it continues laying the groundwork for "Go Down Swinging." It's a shame this team-up couldn't have been explored in a lengthier format, but it's plenty of fun while it lasts. Read Full Review

    On Comics Ground - Victor Neal Feb 11, 2018

    Overall ASM #795 is a solid issue. It is obviously a filler used to build the suspense for Spidey's next major threat. Read Full Review

    The Super Powered Fancast - Deron Generally Feb 7, 2018

    I wanted to like this issue more than I did. Coming out of the previous issue, I was hoping that there would be more substantive storytelling leading up to the big Norman Osborn arc, but this issue felt rushed. The Loki/Spider-Man dynamic was handled well but the issues with Peter's job and relationship with Bobbi felt lazy, especially the latter. Read Full Review

    Henchman-4-Hire - Sean Ian Mills Feb 10, 2018

    Dan Slott ties up some loose ends with a sweet little done-in-one Spider-Man story that ties itself off nicely at the end. Read Full Review

    The GCRN - Daniel Clark Feb 16, 2018

    Most of the attention of this issue will come from the developments that occur in the final pages. On the surface, the attention is understandable as it has some intriguing possibilities. Although It does reek of the worst of the 90s coming back to haunt us. Dan Slott has proven he can take what may seem like a bad idea and make it into something special. With his limited time left on the book he may be giving himself his biggest challenge. A noble pursuit if anything else. Read Full Review

    Amazing Spider-Man #795 is a fine, but totally forgettable issue that doesn't build much anticipation for what comes next. Read Full Review

    Comic Watch - Ryoga Kazehino Feb 14, 2018

    I'm seriously hoping that this is the last time we see a filler issue like this and the next one is where the story really goes forward. Superior Spider-Man was one of (if not THE) best stories Slott has ever written, and I am expecting that same level of writing with Threat Level Red. So far, nothing of that caliber is being presented, and given how Slott handles his stories the past few arcs, I get the feeling it may stay that way for quite a while longer. Read Full Review

    Comic Book Revolution - Kevin Lainez Feb 11, 2018

    Amazing Spider-Man #795 does very little to move the needle when it comes to the "Threat Level: Red" story arc. Even with the few positives Amazing Spider-Man #795 does have are overshadowed by the lack of interest created for how "Threat Level: Red" will close out Dan Slott's run on the series. And the little development we do get at the end of the issue does nothing to create excitement for Norman Osborn's endgame to destroy Spider-Man's life. Read Full Review

    Bleeding Cool - Joshua Davison Feb 8, 2018

    Amazing Spider-Man continues to trudge onwards toward its 800th issue, doing whatever it can to fill the space between now and then. This isn't a recommended read, no matter how good the art is or how much Loki is in the comic. Give this one a pass. Read Full Review
