Jonathan reviews The Amazing Spider-Man #28 (Legacy 992) as a pickup tied to the marketing and buildup toward Amazing Spider-Man #1000, with Joe Kelly and Cory Smith featured.
He praises Kelly’s spot-on Spider-Man voice that balances Peter Parker’s humor and everyday problems with bigger interdimensional events, and notes brief appearances from characters like the Fantastic Four and Doctor Strange that don’t feel overwhelming.
The issue resolves a time-loop plot from earlier, serving as a wrap-up before the next arc. He finds the art and colors generally strong, with minor nitpicks such as an odd-looking eye in one panel and some sparse, low-detail cityscapes (notably Times Square).
The ending introduces a new hero who offers Peter encouraging advice, and teases follow-ups in issue #29 involving “mushrooms” as the series nears the milestone #1000.
