Spider-Man: Black Suit & Blood #1 isn't taking enough chances. The stories aren't bad, but they're pretty safe, especially since not a single one delves into the violent nature of the symbiote given Spider-Man. I'm excited for this series to lean more into adult themes, but so far, it's not doing enough to feel different from any other Spider-Man story. At the very least, you haven't seen Spider-Man this creepy in ages. Read Full Review
