Spidey is on a rampage! After Doc Ock causes aunt May to pass out he is mad! Love issues where you get to see what Spidey could REALLY do if he ever lost his temper!

DOC OCK WINS
December 1966
Personally I wouldn't shorten Octopus to OCK...but that's just me!
More importantly Doc Octopus and Spider Man battle over that Nullifier and it affects Spider Man's memory!
This solid Doc.Octopus story continues to twist and turn..I love it.

This story line is getting better and better with each issue! I am really enjoying this so far and that twist ending was really good! I can't wait to see how this all goes down and if Doc Ock will truly win against Spider-Man (probably not but who knows?)!

Peter Parker is on a mission to hunt down Doc Ock for revenge for err.. upsetting Aunt May. Seriously the tag line for this issue claims Aunt May in the hospital but she's clearly just having a rest at Anna Watson's house after the fright of seeing Spider-Man fighting it out with Doc Ock. I'm still not too confident where that happened exactly as at the end of last issue Peter was talking about home insurance* to repair the damage like it was his home and now the comic clearly says May is now "home which Anna Watson shares with May Parker" and MJ comes across totally nonplussed about the destruction to her family home. Comics!
"Like wow! Just dig that craaaazy keyhole, Tiger! I've heard of air conditioning... But this is ridiculous!" - MJ takes the Doc Ock shaped hole in their house in her stride. You always need someone like MJ around in a disaster.
*Surely it's standard in the Marvel 616 universe that insurers cover people for superhero/ villain and or Galactus damage to property?!

Cool cover, i love it!!! Awesome art by John Romita, capturing in great dynamic panels the agility, swiftness and dexterity of Spider-Man. I think he has been the best artist doing it so far.
Dr. Octopus is a great character and one of the best Spider-Man enemies so far. He is also a scientist, intelligent and is neck to neck with Spider-Man at trash talking and cheating.
The story of this arc is interesting and funny, but without any highlighting moments. The incoherence on Nullifier effects of some mechanical stuff and causing amnesia, detracts from the final rate.
In favor of the marvel interconnected universe, i liked how they included the reference to Iron Man situation on his series to explain his absence.

This issue of Amazing Spider-Man is a whirlwind of emotion and action as Peter’s quest for vengeance against Doctor Octopus takes a shocking turn. Aunt May’s hospitalization drives Spidey into overdrive, and his relentless pursuit of Doc Ock showcases the raw, unfiltered rage and desperation Peter feels when his loved ones are threatened.
The story takes an unexpected twist when Doc Ock uses the Nullifier to attack Spider-Man and the result's Spider-Man loses his memory, leading to a bizarre and intriguing dynamic where Spidey is manipulated into believing they’re allies. It’s a bold narrative choice that adds tension and suspense, keeping readers hooked to see how Peter will recover his sense of self.

THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #53-56 (Doc Ock Wins!)
It’s sort of hard to review this storyline, considering the very crux of what makes it great is its culminative plot-twist. Because of my devotion to not spoiling the artistry of these stories, all I can really do is give it a high recommendation and leave it at that. 🤫

Sial, Doktor jahat itu berhasil merampas senjata terkuat yang sedang berada dalam pengawalan John Jameson. Dengan senjata itu ia mengalahkan Spider-Man dan membuat si muka jaring amnesia.
