RATED T
Earth 138's punk rock heroes have hit the road and run into all kinds of trouble, but nothing a little visit from this alternate Earth's Daredevil cannot cure. ‘Spider-Punk' is the epitome of what makes comic books fun but also such a truly awesome medium, taking such creative bold chances not only with the characters but the visuals as well. Every element of this book and every member of the creative team is bringing their absolute A game and it shows. Read Full Review
Well worth a look if you are a fan of Spider-Man or just want a different setting for one of the stories involving these characters. Read Full Review

Spider-Punk #3 sends the Spider-Band on a side trip (literally) to Philadelphia when the Spider-Van is attacked by the Marauders, resulting in a story that's wholly absent of creativity, style, charm, humor, or imagination. The serviceable art gets the job done, but there's nothing punk about this comic in either the writing or the art. Read Full Review
Maybe it just took 3 issues to get used to one another (including me), but this time I somehow got into the "feel" rather easily - although another trick might've been not to read this book as a Marvel comic, but mix it up with a few non-Marvel/non-DC books.
Anymoo, this time I think I got it, and I've actually become curious what will happen next!
in short: carefully recommended, just don't put it in your Marvel stack ;)
The art's still the most distinctive and appealing part of this for me. The writing and plotting, I can take or leave. It works fine; it doesn't excite me.
By this point Marvel's got a decent stack of rave letters to print in the back. This excites plenty of people who aren't me, and that's great. Pretty much everybody who writes in mentions already being a fan of punk music, Spider-Punk, or both, though. That suggests to me that the folks that are loving this are coming out and meeting the creators at least halfway.
Justin Mason's artwork is so cool, I really love it. His panels are clean and his characters are interesting to look at.
Cody Ziglar is leaning now exclusively on punk jokes, references, and the aesthetics with little to no substance. It was cute the first two issues, but now deep into this limited series, Ziglar isn't making the case to have these characters explored further than this.
The plot is getting muddy, the issues are too preoccupied introducing different versions of characters and it is becoming too much for the series to balance.
I am normally a huge fan of 'POP' media, but somehow Spider-Punk is wasting its poppy, punk premise.
