5.0 out of 5 stars Swinging back into Spider-Man's world? This is a good place to start., April 6, 2009

By	G. Tyler - See all my reviews

The Spider-Man in these stories has a secret identity, his classic spider powers, webshooters, a big supporting cast, and, unlike Superman, he doesn't always get things right.

This is the Spider-Man that I remember: the one who cracks jokes while he's fighting bad guys, the one who has to watch out for the cops, and the one who's always getting on J. Jonah Jameson's nerves.

In the recent past, Spider-Man's supporting cast dwindled down to just his Aunt May and Mary Jane. Everybody knew he was Peter Parker. His powers came from a magic totem. He could shoot organic spikes from his wrists. And sometimes he had a suit of armor with three mechanical arms.

With this volume, we get a clean slate and Spider-Man is back to his regular iconic self. Some people might not like HOW the slate got cleaned. But the HOW and WHY aren't really a part of these stories. These stories are about Spider-Man starting a new chapter while returning to the roots of his character.

The art by Steve McNiven is up there with his work on Civil War and MK4. The other art in this collection, by Phil Jimenez, Salvador Larroca, and Mark Bagley, is extremely good too.

If you like Spider-Man for Spider-Man's sake (and don't miss the wrist spikes), you should give this collection a try.
