If you're not thrilled with Peter Parker's new status quo, Amazing Spider-Man #4 probably won't win you over. This issue revels in Peter's new life as a globetrotting industrialist and and functioning S.H.I.E.L.D. agent. However, this new chapter also makes it clearer than ever that, despite these new trappings, Spider-Man is still fundamentally the same hero. He's a guy that does what's right and accepts all the bad luck that flows into his life as a result. If anything, his new position only paints a bigger target on his back. And in that way the new status quo remains true to the character while blazing new ground.
This issue pairs Spidey with Mockingbird as our hero works to bring down the new Zodiac and deal with a new threat to his work at Parker Industries. Essentially, this boils down to Peter waging war against a group of Goblin-powered soldiers in rural Africa. The sheer novelty of seeing Spidey working outside the usual confines of New York is still appealing. This forces him to fight smarter and differently than he has in the past, what with the lack of skyscrapers about. Artist Giuseppe Camuncoli is great about bringing life to these action scenes and transforming Peter into a more ninja-like figure. Where once Camuncoli worked best on darker storylines (Superior Spider-Man especially) he shows a greater versatility on this new series that suits just about any setting and tone.
