These first two issues have been enjoyable reads. It almost feels too early on to say how good this series will be yet, too many unknowns, but if it carries on the way the first two issues did readers will be in for a treat. Read Full Review

Spider-Man #2 proves that issue one was no fluke. It's a genuine joy to read throughout, quickly crafting memorable, engaging, and thoroughly enjoyable characters. But it's also a hard look at legacy, and what it can mean if a father tarnishes his own heritage for his children. Choosing to present Peter Parker as a broken man running from his responsibility is a bold, divisive choice, but thus far, both Abrams senior and junior have the chops to pull everything together.

While we do get a few answers, we also just just get more unanswered questions in issue two. However, the art steals the show. Sara Pichelli clearly is in her groove while drawing Spidey. This book also loses points for a typo. It can't happen on a book at this level. Or any book for that matter. Read Full Review

The art looks great from top to bottom, but the scripting doesn't hold up its end of the bargain, and this is all well-worked dramatic territory. Read Full Review

Not the worst but not the best stop on our trip through the Spider-Verse. Read Full Review

Ben Parker has a lot to figure out in his young life. A life which mirrors his fathers in many ways, the loss of a parent figure. The attaining of great powers and the realization that he was put here for a reason. It's semi-comical watching him try to master these powers while he is clearly lacking in experience. I especially love the uniform that doesn't quite fit. Just when we think Ben is figuring everything out he has to confront…to be continued. *** (8.2 rating) Read Full Review

Spider-Man #2 is a step in the right direction, but there is still no element that makes this series a must-buy. Read Full Review

Two issues in and this series aren't doing anything we haven't seen before. It's also rather flat in its characterizations. It's not complex or deep in any way and instead is boring at face value. Read Full Review

The second issue of the Abrams' Spider-Man isn't offensively bad in the way the first issue was, but it feels like a pale imitation of other, better stories. Read Full Review

The idea of motivation behind superheroism has defined the genre since the days of, well, "with great power must also come great responsibility" - why these heroes put on their masks and tights matters just as much (if not more so) than their actual superheroic exploits. But that's where Spider-Man stumbles - there aren't actors' performances to liven up or elevate Ben Parker's actions or dialogue, and thus his shift into his father's clothing feels shallow. It can't help but feel like dress-up, because there's no real reason behind it. With two issues already down, Spider-Man is going to have to work double-time in future issues if it wants to stick the landing. Read Full Review

This comic is terrible. It's poorly written, poorly plotted, poorly developed, and entirely unimaginative. Read Full Review

I really dont get the hate for this title. I think the art is fantastic and the story, while not amazing, is pretty solid and interesting. I am excited to see how everything turns out

Moves pretty fast but it has some interesting takes and great artwork.. I wanna see where it goes.

It's fine. Nothing too special, artwork is pretty good. It's a fun story, that's all it's been so far. I really hope there's some twists coming, but so far it's been pretty decent.

This is OK. If Pichelli wasn't drawing this I would have dropped it. Yes the pressure is high since the fanfares of Abrams were played out loud and hyped so much.
It rotates between new angles and familiar tones but not mixed well enough to work. It's trying to do something new yet it's repeating the same beats done in Spidey books before it and doesn't quite make you care about its antagonist. I get that we're trying to make it a mystery but it's flat as a device here. Pichelli is what's bringing me back.

The script reads like what it is: Bare-bones dialogue written by guys who expect to fill in the balance of their world and story by directing actors and DPs and special effects teams to deliver details. The sketchy art tells me they didn't figure out that they could/should collaborate with their artist in the same way. I can't help but like Faye, though.

Well let’s start with the good stuff. I really enjoyed issue 1 so I was naturally excited for this issue and was massively let down. The art was great and I’m still intrigued on the identity of Cadaverous. The dialogue was also pretty natural and fluid. Unfortunately, the story itself was super cliched and boring. After I read this issue, I wondered, “What’s the point of this series?” The best that I could come up with is that JJ Abrams wanted time write a Peter Parker origin but editors thought (rightfully) that Abrams ideas were to wack for the 616 so they just threw him in an alternate reality. What I’m trying to say is that what this series needs to do is distinguish itself from other Spidey stories, and so far it hasn’t done that more

Issue such a let down. Art is okay. Some of the dialogue seems bit forced. Nothing about this book screams out that this has to happen. Honestly story is quite boring.

Self-insert shit

Yeah, this isn't for me. It is far from the worst thing I have read, I just couldn't care about anything.

Really bad

Prelude:
Welp, it's time to read this again. Strap yourselves in people, this will be a bumpy ride.

The Good:
Faye is proving to be a bit more interesting.

Art is still the same level as before.

The Bad:
Dialogue is still very off for these characters and it isn't written well.

Ben's reasoning to become Spider-Man is really weak, basically doing it because of a girl.

I have no interest in the villain whatsoever.

Conclusion:
It's better than before but not by much. Ultimately my problem is with the chosen characterisation that the Abrams are using.

Why does this comic exist? It is just a rehash of any of the other Spider-Family stories, or even Miles. But with worse writing and, honestly, worse art. I really do hate this comic because it's written by people who don't know what makes Spider-Man a good character. It's written by people who are clearly not in their element. It's bad. And made even worse by how unoriginal it is. I'm astounded that this comic made it to print. But I guess having a big name means you can churn out shit.
