I Review Comics

I haven't purchased a Spider-man comic in a few years now and Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse releasing in a couple weeks I figured this was as good a time as any to check out a Spiderman book.  The issue focuses on Peter Parker, Gwen Stacy, and Miles Morales. They are all competing for an internship at the Daily Bugle that happens to be sponsored by Tony Stark.  As the characters are introduced to each other a group of mutated creatures begin attacking the city which leads to our hero springing into action to contain the threat.  Right off of the bat this comic is geared toward an all-ages audience that will more than likely be looking for more spidey content after Spider-Verse comes out. I don't mind all-ages stories but I prob ably won't follow this storyline beyond this issue.   The issue feels like the setup for Spider-man and his Amazing Friends 2.0 with Miles and Gwen standing in for Iceman and Firestar.  The characters are all pretty much what you expect them to be. If this was my first comic I wouldn't be terribly disappointed. The idea of Tony Stark possibly playing mentor to these characters did sort of rub me the wrong way though.  The art direction is very fluid and energetic with the colors being the MVP for the issue especially when Spiderman is in costume and doing his thing.  There is also a mystery setup within the issue that will clearly be investigated further in the next issue. As a back to basics, continuity lite Spiderman story I can't really find any faults. I have minor gripes but those are mainly me projecting onto a series in which I'm clearly not the target audience for.  The comic isn't bad, It's just not for me.  For More Reviews: https://www.gtmediareviews.com/ more

So, here we go again with a teenage Peter already late for his intership in the bugle.But he encounter a Miles (Already with power without using it, beside to flee) and a Gwen (Surely with power to, because she take a lot of risk). But only Peter is spider-man for now (Right because it will be stealing is thunder and not following is legacy right now). And they will have a pack of Dog-rat to take care of. Cover - Nice but not really related, only peter have a costume. 1/2 Writing - Didn't like it. I know someone telling that in the future marvel will only manage is character as licence for other editor. This show that would be a bad things. 1/3 Arts - The art is nor good or bad. That do the job, but I'm not a fan of the huge head for s kin body thing. 2/3 Feeling - That didn't amuse me ! That even didn't succeed to hook me. 0/2 more
