Spider-Man and Doctor Octopus face off in a brutal battle of egos! But Doc's got a secret weapon up his sleeve this time - Jeff Haight, a staff photographer from the Daily Bugle who wants to know just how a stringer named Peter Parker always seems to get the front page...
The other plot driving this book forward is an Astro City style idea, as we see a rival photographer is allowed to notice the uncanny luck Peter Parker has when it comes to snapping photos of Spider-Man, and after Peter manages to steal the front page away once again, this photographer resolves to uncover Peter's secret. What I really like about this plot though is the photographer is operating within his own little world, and he's allowed to actively acknowledge that Peter's photos do belong on the front page.

Of course, when you over-promote a concept, I guess these "filler" things happen. Read Full Review
Not bad! It's a fine beginning, that makes me wondering what will these remaining 4 issues be about.
