Finished reading Amazing Spider-Man: Amazing Grace, writer Jose Molina brings Spider-Man in the middle of a strange mystery of a strange resurrection that leads to him teaming up with the superhero team, the Santerians to try and uncover the truth. The book opens with Spider-Man swinging by the funeral of a local man form Harlem named Julio Rodriguez, who later that night crawls out of his own grave which becomes the headline of the next morning news. After seeing the news Peter Parker decides to investigate by starting with the local morgue and the medical examiner who did the autopsy on Julio who can't explain how he's still alive. Later on Spider-Man finds himself help the kids of Julio Rodriguez which is where he get the best lead on his surprising resurrection which leads him to come face to face with the Santerians who are friends of Julio and tell Spider-Man that his chance of finding out about what happened to Julio is to trace his last steps which takes Peter to Cuba in hope to find some answers. Overall this was a decent book as Spider-Man is drawn into an intriguing mystery that sends him form the streets of New York to Cuba and back again to uncover the truth to the resurrection of Julio. The theme of religion and faith plays a prominent role within the book with how it the whole mystery behind Julio's resurrection is revealed and the way the the majority of characters interact with one another about the subject. The art throughout is good as it works very well for the tone of the book with how the locations and characters fit into the story. However the art changes between the two different art styles in some places feel sudden and takes a while to adjust to the change to the fast difference. 6/10.
