    Hallum and company deliver an astonishingly good book. Full of seriousness, action, and heavy drama. Somehow the creative team manages to keep things on the light side. Read Full Review

    This issue is solid thanks to a perfectly written MJ/Peter scene. It also has some good action and anyone who loved the game will simply love exploring the characters further in the comic book format. Read Full Review

    While some of the interstitial montage featuring Silver Sable and Hammerhead's escalating war across the city can't help but drag a bit, Hallum's character work and Maresca's effective artwork make this video game comic strike way out of its weight class. Read Full Review

    Tie-in books can be big business; just look at how well Dark Horse managed as well as companies like Dynamite and IDW both of which have a healthy licensed book range.

If the truth be told, for all the problems and critiques I have with this book, my feelings are boil down to two inescapable facts that none of the creative team can resolve. Firstly, I was actually not that fussed about the game. The Arkham joke is a little too true for me. Secondly, and perhaps more importantly, Black Cat's own book is massively superior to this. With this in mind, I know on which book I will be spending my hard earned on. Read Full Review
