This is just a ton of crazy fun. This one feels a lot different than the first miniseries, so that's a good start. No repeating. I enjoyed this a ton. Extra points for the spider-mobile.
This was kind of fun but I wasn’t as excited about it as some would no doubt wish.
I'd be down in general for a "retro Spidey thrown into an alternate universe" story. But the storytelling used in this example, in words and art, is like fingernails on a chalkboard to me.
Peter David's script is full of dad jokes and lazy plotting and the latter is supposed to be okay because it's all oh-so-waaaacky. Seriously, a @#$% open-topped mattress truck?
And Greg Land is still Greg Land. I guarantee he'd draw the redhead in the Black Cat costume exactly the same whether it was supposed to be Natasha or MJ. And without Frank D'Armata's hair-coloring, it could be literally any sexy superheroine.
