A REVOLUTIONARY DARK TAKE ON SPIDER-MAN BEGINS HERE!
What is reality and what is dream? What is science and what is magic? At the intersection of all of this stands the Deadly Neighborhood Spider-Man. Peter Parker goes to Los Angeles and what he finds there are definitely not angels. The demons waiting for Peter are going to test him like never before. One demon in particular, a very famous one for Marvel and X fans in particular, might just eat Spider-Man alive.

Deadly Neighborhood Spider-Man #1 spins a twisted web of horror just in time for the Halloween season. Spider-Man fans should definitely pick up this book, as well as horror fans. The final page promises that the terror has only just begun for Spidey and that he's not in his friendly neighborhood anymore. Read Full Review
Deadly Neighborhood Spider-Manis the most visually impressive comic you'll read this week. It also houses a casual-reader-friendly story that drops readers into a Peter Parker adventure that stands alone. Blending science experiments, nightmares, and epic superhero art, Deadly Neighborhood Spider-Man is an enlightening experience. Read Full Review
Overall, Deadly Neighborhood Spider-Man #1 is a different take on everyone's favorite web slinger. The story by Taboo is powerful. The art by the creative team is awesome. Altogether, a story those fans will soon not forget. Read Full Review
While a lot of series have one-shots that have a Halloween theme for October, this does seem more like it is a new storyline as they do want to try something different and if you want to do the same then I would recommend it. Read Full Review
Deadly Neighborhood Spider-Man #1 has the seed of a good idea, but the concept is dampened with a hook that doesn't make sense and lots of tedious narration. The art has some excellent creature designs, but you'll be tuning out pretty quickly. Read Full Review
Writers B Earl and Taboo (of the Black Eyed Peas) collaborated on the story that feels like part 12 of an ongoing and not the fresh start to an all-new narrative that should be welcoming. In the end it's all confusing. Read Full Review
Wow this was fantastic! I love the premise of this book. The writing was great and wow the artwork is mind blowing! I definitely recommend checking this book out!!
Previews of the artwork caught my interest right away. I bought this without knowing who wrote the story. Once I read it I thought "well, that was weird" but weird in a good way. Once I realized who Taboo was, then I thought "oh, yeah that makes sense". Can't wait to keep reading to see where this story is going.
This issue is chock full of fascinating imagery, in the words as well as the art. It's incredibly mysterious, in a mostly-not-entirely-good way. Pete's nightmares are strange and scary enough to put a hook in me; I want to read on and see how all the pieces come together.
But I can also admit that the widely-scattered pieces, the slow pace, and the current opacity of the plot make it hard for this issue to stand on its own. I'm calling it good while being fully aware that I'm bringing a lot of optimism to the table.
The art is great, but the writing is very mid.
