Delightful, endearing, and full of future promise. The art is incredible, and I don't think these characters have ever looked better. This is a fresh take on a Peter Parker origin in which he will be inexperienced, but not immature. He is shown to have embraced responsibility with or without the Spider-Man mantle, and he is smart, capable, and good. It's nice to see a Peter Parker who isn't a loser all the time. Hickman was right to spend much of the first issue introducing Peter and his supporting cast. Spider-Man stories thrive on a strong civilian cast and meaningful relationships. And the supporting cast is excellent here. The family dynamic with younger kids should be a lot of fun and will add weight and depth to the stakes for Spider-Man. I hope we never see a big time skip. The mysterious Green Goblin could be interesting, given the backstory. I loved Peter's choice at the end. The final pages are fantastic.
