    I like Bailey Briggs, he's a good kid.
    He's got a horrific backstory, nobody remembers him, but he's making the best of it.
    This comic is fine. It's geared towards younger readers, which is good, has some decent action, and is a bit goofy. The character design is great, actually. and courtesy of Paco Medina, Bailey's got some moves. The story is fine. Dan Slott's a competent writer, and he seems to have a sense of direction for the series. Remains to be seen if this has some legs, or if it's just another limited series that Marvel didn't tell us was a limited series.

    My only concern is that there's a team-up in the first issue. I get it, he's a side-kick, but he's going to sustain a series, he needs to stand on his own. There's pleny of other spider books to feature him as the side-kick. It's a red flag.
