Critical reception
In 2015, comedian and late night talk show host Seth Meyers named Maguire as his favorite comic book artist.[13] Meyers previously collaborated with Maguire and Bill Hader on the 2008 Spider-Man one-shot comic Spider-Man: The Short Halloween.
Writer Marc Andreyko praised Maguire stating "Basically, the right artist for any project is Kevin Maguire. He’s an absolute genius, an underappreciated genius." and "He has some of the best grasp of facial expressions and character acting of almost any artist working in the business."[12]
