The bottom line is Spider King stands to keep me entertained for some time to come, but this #1 issue does drag a bit. I'm uncertain if future releases will pick up the pace or if each installment will be a slow build toward a greater conflict. But, I just love barbarians fighting space monsters and I can't knock it too much for being an entertaining first look at this new world. Read Full Review
This story has real promise. But it appears to be better read as a whole and not spread out over the course of several months. Also, the art and colors make for a harder to enjoy reading experience. I want to read more. But I think I will wait for the trade. Read Full Review
If this run is able to keep its hook interesting and grow its characters well, we may have a fun journey ahead of us. Read Full Review
The book, whilst not for me,certainly has some quirks that I would like to see further developed. If a mix-match of genres featuring swearing Disney like characters are your cup of tea, then this book is right up your alley. Read Full Review
I really can't recommend that anyone buy this first issue of THE SPIDER KING. Read Full Review
The dialogue gets a little stale, and the characters feel lifeless, but it's a decent first issue mostly thanks to the art. Read Full Review
