Spider-Man is the worst neighbor EVER! There are always crazy villains and property damage and drama and...and he CATCHES the villains. And he tries to fix the damage and he helps carry your groceries and actually that property damage keeps the rents down. You know what? Spider-Man is the best neighbor ever and this book will give you a closer look at Spider-Man's (and Peter Parker's) neighborhood than any book ever. Also, it wouldn't be a Spider-Man adventure without a threat that could destroy not only Spider-Man, but all his neighbors.

A great continuation of a fantastic first issue that offers up a lot of fun, comedy, and heart Read Full Review
That tone can also be felt in the art from Juann Cabal. He matches the tone of the art to the bright, vibrant daylight action this series is doing. You get to admire the character and background details throughout the issue and the story is enhanced with some fun visuals. Read Full Review
Overall Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man was an improved effort over the debut issues, with Tom Taylor quickly getting the hang of the voice of his cast, and moving the pacing of the story along at a perfect pace. Most of the humor in this title also hits the mark adding some nice surprises to an already enjoyable story. FNSM is off to a good start, avoiding some common pitfalls some of these other recently rebooted series have gone through in the process, resulting in everything here making me look forward to issue three.

There are many mysteries wrapped in Marvel's latest Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man issue, from what will happen to the Peter Parker's neighbor, to how a his elderly neighbor just seems to know too much. However, one unsolved mystery that fans may have overlooked concerns two orange (mutant) children introduced in Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man #1. Read Full Review
A fun, focused second issue that sets a great tone for our Friendly Neighborhood Spidey going forward, this second issue offers up a lot to love with little flaw. Read Full Review
Friendly Neighborhood is building a niche separate from the main Spider-Man series, but it might need more than solid characterization and a moderately interesting story to keep readers interested. Read Full Review
While this series is less explosive than most Spider-Man titles, Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man has a charm and stylishness that you shouldn't miss. Read Full Review
When I contrast the two issues we've got so far, I can only hope for a better balance in the future. #1 was all friendly, all neighbourhood. #2 is all Spider-Man, and it suffers a little for that. This is a strong, above-average Spider-Man story. But it offers up far less of the distinctive, home-cooked feel that made the last issue special. Read Full Review
This was actually excellent. Well-written and genuinely funny, good action, fantastic art.
This book is great fun. Tom Taylor gets these characters and the dialogue is incredible. The art also seemed better this time, probably because Spider-Man was the focus of the issue.
This is even better than the first issue. So much fun reading this, very well-written and the artwork really suits the tone of the book.
There is a ton of humor and heart in this series. In my opinion Taylor and Cabal should be on the flagship Amazing Spiderman book.
Even better than the first issue. Taylor is churning a good one here and i like what Cabal and Woodard are doing on art a lot!
Spidey, ever the fount of good ideas, calls in Johnny Storm as a babysitter while he gets deeper into the mystery of the orange kids. This issue leans more toward straightforward super-heroics than the first, but there are some solid threads tying back to the friendly neighborhood. The art's very clean, and the script delivers a perfectly-sized portion of well-done Spidey humor.
I just had a very nice time reading this and I’m not sorry about it. People being mean to Boomerang is my aesthetic.
Tom Taylor writes a good spidey and cabal draws a hell of a good book. While nothing groundbreaking, its highly entertaining.
THE GOOD:
-What happened here?! Oh, I think I figured it out. Tom Taylor must have written last issue's back up story, planning for it to be the main comic, and what was the main issue last time was supposed to be the backup. That's definitely it. I definitely didn't misjudge the quality of this series. Not at all.
-The art was a vast improvement. While I don't like the way Mr. Cabal draws the Human Torch, his Spidey is growing on me.
-Where was this humor last issue? I think I must have been in a bad mood when I read the last one. I guess I was happy when I read this one.
-I thought the kids would be stupid. Instead, they were really interesting.
-That splash page was pretty awesom more
I like the art but I found the writing to be a bit weaker than the first issue, which was pretty great.
