Spider-Man #11 is a delectable anthology-in-miniature, wrapped in the candy coating of Peter Parkers dilemma. While the stories entertain, they also set the cornerstone for later adventures. I look forward to seeing what Dan Slott and Paco Medina build atop this foundation in their upcoming Spider-Boy series. Read Full Review

Vecchio delivers awesome art throughout the issue. I love the bright tone of the art and how it reflects the lighter tone of the story. Read Full Review

Spider-Boy is officially here to stay, and I couldn't be more thrilled. Early on Spider-Boy was a small but still delightful highlight of the series, but he's quickly become my favorite part of the book, and that is cemented in Spider-Man #11. Read Full Review

Spider-Man #11is an average superhero comic, with strong sequencing and character writing. However, it's better aspects relying on one's interest in Spider-Boy to have any vested reason to read the finale to this somewhat needless Spider-Man title. Read Full Review

Spider-Man #11 tells you almost everything you need to know about Baily, aka Spider-Boy, in preparation for his forthcoming solo title. However, Dan Slott fills in all the blanks in the laziest, most basic, perfunctory, lifeless way possible to deliver a primer that may as well have been written by A.I. Read Full Review

Yeah. Its okay. Go ahead and do a Spider-Boy series. Really. Itll be...cool or whatever. Its not like hes THAT much younger than the original Peter Parker was when he started up back in the 1960s. What was he...like...a sophomore in high school or something like that? Yeah...so its not like this is going to be all that different, right? Really. Another Spider-title. Itll be...fine. Honestly, its not like...its not like there are any other ideas for a new Marvel series, right? Read Full Review

It was alright.

this issue actually was not bad and I enjoyed it.

I don’t love the sidekick idea, but Spider-Boy is a fun character. Nice story.

Are all 'new' comic runs that aren't mini's destined to just flame out.
Yes.
The best you can hope for as a fan of a new successful book is that you get a mini series once every year or two.
The whole industry just seems to be developing bad habits that are alienating the consumer.
