Finished reading Amazing Spider-Man: Graveyard Shift, this tells writer Dan Slott's last Spider-Man story of the series as he is joined by frequent co-writer Christos Gage with the two telling a story of Spider-Man coming back to his New York after the Spider-Verse event as he still try's to get used to being the CEO of his own company. The book opens up with Spider-Man at the Central Park zoo fighting The Iguana as he's getting calls from his Aunt May and his colleagues Anna Maria and Sajani saying that he's late for and appointment with city officials about building a new super prison. After presenting their pitch, Alchemax employees Tiberius Stone and Mark Roxton head to a local criminal bar in order to hire the Ghost to sabotage Parker Industries in order to get the prison contract. The next story written by Sean Ryan begins with Sajani asking Peter to go over her report that she's emailed to him only for him to get preoccupied as Spider-Man hoping to find the owner of a phone that he found near a traffic accident that takes him on a trip around the whole of New York. There is an additional story within the book that centres around Black Cat that helps to cement her new villainous role within the Marvel universe. Overall this was a great book as it continues to show how Peter Parker becomes more used to being a CEO of his own company but still finding it hard to find the time of running the company and being Spider-Man as well. There are great comedic moments throughout from the opening fight between Spider-Man and The Iguana which has some great back and froths between the two while the transition of Spider-Man having to pick up the phone makes Iguana's reactions incredibly funny. The art work throughout the book is great from artist Brandon Peterson as he captures Spider-Man web swinging around the stunning location of New York. While art work for the rest of the book is great as artists Humberto Ramos designs some great fight scenes between Spider-Man and the Ghost, showing brilliantly how the two's powers work within the fight. 8/10.
