Dan Slott once again just creates a fun, yet revealing read here that is classic Marvel Comics. Read Full Review
The adventures of Marvel's most unexpected gem continue in Spider-Boy #5, though a subtitle to this series could easily be "the sad state of mentors and parents." Read Full Review
Spider-Boy #5 goes a long way toward furthering Bailey's conflict with Madam Monstrosity, giving the young hero some emotional depth, and using the backup to enhance the main story. But for a boneheaded creative decision in the plot, this is an otherwise solid issue in both writing and art. Read Full Review
What happened to the art in the first issue? It feels weird, rushed and poor quality.
Story itself is chugging along. People are acknowledging that they were terrible last book and a good fight was nice. Cliffhanger was good enough. Briggs is a good character, but just not sure this book will carry the day in sales.
