Amazing Spider-Man (2018-) #1

So it would seem that once again Peter Parker has been brought down to nothing. Okay, that’s been happening for a while, but it also appears to be the focus of this series so far. Man, they just really love to kick poor Peter like a puppy dog, don’t they? It breaks my heart.
I’m actually fascinated in their choice of a villain for Spider-Man this time around. The guy is easy to underestimate, but he knows Peter’s strengths and weaknesses, and he’s using that against him. That’s not something you see every day, so it’s certainly gotten my attention.
There’s a whole lot of references to stuff that has happened to Peter in the past, so this may not be the best series to dive into if you haven’t read anything before. Then again, better late than never, right?
