By Chad Nevett Random Thought! So, Spider-Man: The Clone Saga wasn't nearly as great as I was hoping for. But, I wasn't surprised by that (or anything about the comic including its rushed storytelling), because revisiting things you have a fondness for from your past is never as great as you hope it will b...

By Brad Curran Spider-Man Supplemental (Wherein I review four Spider-Man comics I bought this week): Marvel Adventures Spider-Man #55- Wait, 55? Really? Wow, that's more longevity than I thought this line had. At any rate, this is as good an all ages Spider-Man comic as has been advertised.

By Brad Curran The copious bonus features include a Stan Lee written backup featuring Marcos Martin art, (so I think I have a new dream Spider-Man team), some great cover gags** (I wish Fraction’s was real), and the return of the Spider Mobile. So, all it lacks is an appearance by Luchador Spider-Man Brya...

By Chad Nevett It’s no coincidence that the two versions of Peter we see here bear passing resemblances to Dr. Octopus and J. Jonah Jameson (more Doc Ock than Jameson). Like the best villains, Peter’s enemies have always been twisted versions of himself. Doctor Octopus was the social reject geek that’s tak...

By ComicList Writers David Hine and Fabrice Sapolsky present readers with a post-Great Depression world in which the poor are victimized by the rich, and the rich are controlled by the criminal underworld. It is a dark vision, to be sure, but not entirely without merit. A young Peter Parker, inspired by his Aunt May (an outspoken figure who is a thorn in the establishment’s side), is not afraid to spit in the eye of the outlaw element. His desire is to help usher in an age of equality for all classes. Let’s hope he lives long enough.

Marvel has offered readers another alternate rendition of Spider-Man, in Spider-Man Noir. I’ve always been a fan of the concept of “What If...?” stories, but is this one worth fans’ time and money? Following are observations of the first issue.

By noreply@blogger.com (Rokk Krinn) Thor hacks his way through a seemingly unending onslaught of minions. Suddenly, Captain America appears on the scene and helps Thor in his fight. Thor asks Captain America how it is possible that he is here in Valhalla. Captain America replies that he does not know and that they will figure it out once they are done with this battle. I cannot wait to see how Loeb manages to make Nick Fury so important to the Ultimate Universe that this type of cataclysmic event can only be solved by returning Nick to the Ultimate Universe. Maybe Loeb can turn this plotline into something engrossing, but at this point I am just not seeing it.   [read the full post]

By Travis The rest of the issue is a waste of time, with no real meaning other than to give a slice of life perspective from Spidey’s supporting cast.

By noreply@blogger.com (Rokk Krinn) Spider-Man then asks the bartender where the Bookie lives. Spider-Man threatens to destroy the bar costing the bartender thousands of dollars in damage. The bartender then gives Spider-Man an address. Spider-Man leaves and the bartender then places a phone call to someone that Spider-Man is on his way. The Bad: The fact remains that Amazing Spider-Man is not actually a part of the Marvel Adventures line of comic books. At least, it is not officially a part of the Marvel Adventures titles. This has been my biggest criticism of this “new” Amazing Spider-Man. I don’t mind all-ages stories. That is exactly the role of the Marvel Adventure titles.   [read the full post]

By noreply@blogger.com (Rokk Krinn) Spider-Man mentions that Captain America said that he thought there was some rebellious faction in SHILED trying to kill the Avengers. Evidently, Captain America felt there was something rotten going on with SHIELD. Spider-Man then says that the Skrulls were mining vibranium here and then tried to kill the Avengers here. The ending to New Avengers #41 was a total miss for me. That is because I find the plotline involving the 1970’s Captain America to be completely lacking in drama or intrigue. We know that the 1970’s Captain America is a Skrull. We have seen Steve’s dead body over on Captain America after he was killed by Sharon Carter. I find this 1970’s Captain America plotline a bit of a waste of time.   [read the full post]

By Rokk Krinn Peter goes to a janitor closet and slips into his Spider-Man costume. Peter notices that he still only has one of his web-shooters. Spider-Man starts web-slinging across Manhattan looking for the mugger wearing a Spider-Man mask. If you had the hankering to read about the down on his luck teenage Peter Parker who is living the single life then you could pick up an issue of Ultimate Spider-Man. If you were in the mood to read about the married adult Peter with a more stable grasp on his life then you could snag an issue of Amazing Spider-Man. Now, your choice is a loser single Peter in his twenties or loser single Peter in his teen years.   [read the full post]

By Rokk Krinn Spider-Woman mentions how these Skrulls are more advanced and not even Wolverine or Daredevil could tell by scent that Electra was a Skrull. Of course, Spider-Woman re-iterates the fact that the New Avengers all think that Tony is a Skrull. Ares is enamored with Spider-Woman and wants to nail her. Ms. Marvel confronts Tony that she really isn’t the team leader. Tony responds that she is. (I have to go with Ms. Marvel on this one.) Spider-Woman is sad that her good friend Ms. Marvel isn’t happy that she is back. Commander Hill then alerts Tony to the fact that Venom symbiotes are running amok in New York City. The Avengers assemble. End of issue.   [read the full post]

By Rokk Krinn MJ and Peter are back at the hotel room where Aunt May got shot. MJ is in the bathroom getting sick. MJ tells Peter that Aunt May had a good long life. That everyone dies at some point. That maybe they should let her go. Peter counters that he would agree with MJ if Aunt May died from old age. But, she didn’t. Aunt May died taking a bullet meant for Peter. That he can’t live with that guilt. And maybe it is just me, but I completely fail to see what Joey Q is trying to accomplish by erasing Peter and MJ’s marriage. Peter has grown and evolved over the years. The marriage between Peter and MJ represents the natural growth of Peter’s character. I thought that the entire purpose of the Ultimate Spider-Man title was to give readers that young Spider-Man free of all the com...   [read the full post]

By Rokk Krinn Synopsis: We begin with Peter at Aunt May’s bedside. We cut to the nurse on duty taking some of Aunt May’s blood and getting a report done on the analysis of the blood. Peter manages to get his hands on the blood test report and is upset. Evidently, Aunt May has built up an immunity to his spider-blood and that the transfusion he conducted isn’t going to do anything for Aunt May. Peter leaves the hospital thinking about the nine felony counts that he has just committed in the past hour. And that these felonies were committed by Peter Parker and not Spider-Man. That Peter’s fingerprints are all over everything. That Peter has become everything that he set out to fight. A criminal.   [read the full post]

By Rokk Krinn The Revolution always enjoys the latest issue of Ultimate Spider-Man. Bendis is tacos in the bank on this title. Ultimate Spider-Man #111 was Mark Bagley’s final issue. The fact that Bendis and Bagley cranked out a run of 111 issues together is absolutely mind blowing. You just don’t see that in the modern age of comic books. Anyway, I’m sure that Ultimate Spider-Man #112 will be a good read. Let’s do this review. Comments The Good: Ultimate Spider-Man #112 was a decidedly average read. And I’m simply not used to getting pedestrian reads on Ultimate Spider-Man. Ever since Ultimate Spider-Man #1, this title has been a stunningly consistent read each and every month.   [read the full post]

By cslepage Spider-Man: Reign, issues 1 through 4, published by Marvel Publishing, Inc., 48 pages, $3.99. The future is bleak. New York City has become a police state, the people’s rights have been stolen, the “news” is only what local government wants the people to hear, and superheroes have been outlawed and become extinct. That’s the setting in a very dark story from Marvel entitled Spider-Man: Reign, written and drawn by Kaare Andrews, with an art assist by Jose Villarrubia. Spider-Man Reign Premiere Hc Spider-Man: Reign is recommended for mature readers due to violent imagery. Find it at comics shops and online retailers and auctions.   [read the full post]

By Daniel Cummings Once again Tobey Maguire is brilliant as Peter Parker/Spiderman.

By Chris Beaumont Except for emo-Peter, Tobey Maguire does another fine job of portraying our hero. Kirsten Dunst was a little whiny, but I liked her too.
