Summary:
Peter Parker has faced many ups and downs over the years. Unfortunately, this is one of those “down” moments. He’s lost everything again. So he’s back in a tiny apartment, alone, with friends and family, all wondering where it all went wrong.
To make matters worse, Spider-Man has made a target of himself with Tombstone. He apparently stepped on the gangster’s toes, and now a lesson must be made of the hero. But what will this villain do?
Review:
It’s been a hot minute since I’ve read any Spider-Man (I know, shame on me), so I went ahead and grabbed some of the recent highlights to binge. One is The Amazing Spider-Man Vol. 1 by Zeb Wells.
So there are things I loved about this volume and parts I’m just exhausted by. Let’s start with the obvious: Peter Parker is back down to nothing. Again. (Rinse, lather, repeat). I get it. One of the best ways to start fresh is to start from scratch, but I sometimes get tired of seeing this guy lose it all.
What I really liked about this arc is the whole Tombstone plot. That did not go at all how I expected, and I loved it! It was a creative interaction between two known entities and did a great job of shaking their worlds up. Likewise, I already can’t predict what will happen next, which is always a good place to leave readers.
