The line between life and death has blurred! Spider-Man and the Santerians face a new mystical threat that will horrify you in ways you never imagined!
There's a lot wrong here. This book is very similar to Iron Man International #1, which I also felt had not found it's footing. Marvel seems to be struggling in its effort to reboot and re-imagine some of its mainstream characters in the wake of Secret Wars. In a similar vein, DC seems to be struggling with seminal characters like Green Arrow, as creative teams try to outro those characters inpreparationsfor rebirth. This issue did not encourage to me to get onboard this new ongoing. I think I'll continue to pan around the Marvel-scape for other interesting things to put on my pull-list. This story seems to be overly bent on taking on the religious right, but is doing so with a Spider-Man that slips from Deadpoolesque in one minute, to Daredevilish in the next, and none of it feels right. Hopefully there will be a different vector after this arc is done, but right now this does not feel like anybody's favorite web-head. Read Full Review
