Sadly, Ramos is one of the only things keeping me *away* from Amazing right now. I just really do not care for his art. He's got a great sense of how to stage his pages (illustrated here) and his monsters like Venom, Tarantula, and Hobgoblin are pretty awesome, but I can't stand his cartoonishly plastic faces (the cover of Amazing #1 V3, ugh) and posturing. He only seems capable of two or three different poses - there's a cringe-worthy game you can play with any of his splash pages pointing out how many people share identical poses and faces. One on hand he's great at conveying action and chaos with lots of detail, on the other hand it really breaks down when you look at it closely. Normally I wouldn't senselessly gripe, but it just finally occurred to me that he is the element actively preventing me from reconnecting with Spidey.
