Actually, This was a brilliant way to add life to the series. Before Identnty Crisis, the Sipder-Man books were going downhill, and fast. This book shows Marvel's ability to give a title a quick boost (Identity Crisis sold very well on the shelves) And then return to a normal storyline afterwards, regaining their reading audience. And the Slingers weren't totally random either, each of the four represented a specific portion of Parker's personality, or Spider Man's powers. An excellent collection.

This book was a great tale of action and writing. The book is a must read which features four more great charachters added to the marvel lineup. It has action and humor in this awesome graphic novel showing the webslinger at his best . Excellently written and drawn no wonder it is a favorite of many fans of marvel.

Many are right when they say that Marvel has gone down as of recently, but this superbly written and illustrated book shows what Marvel can really do. Some of Spider-Man's best writers and artists got together on this book and forever made an imprint in the Marvel universe.

Another reson why I don't read comics very often anymore was because of cheap marketing gimmicks like this. Spider-Man wanted for crimes he did not commit, becomes four new different heroes with different customs, all the while trying to clear his name. These four heroes later got their own comic called Slingers, which is one of the worst comic book ideas ever created. Marvel marketing thought up the whole thing. It's patheic and after reading this junk, you can see why Marvel has lost so much creditability with it's readers.
