Editorial Reviews

Review

"Friendly neighborhood psychologist Travis Langley and his fantastic team explore the amazing minds of Peter Parker, Miles Morales, and many more in this spectacular edition of all things Spider-Man!" ―E. Paul Zehr, PhD, author of Chasing Captain America: How Advances in Science, Engineering, and Biotechnology Will Produce a Superhuman
"Travis Langley has put together an amazing (see what I did there?) collection of essays about Spider-Man. If you're a fan of Spider-Man, this book will fascinate you, as the essays illuminate our understanding of exactly what makes Peter Parker and the people around him tick. Highly recommended."
―Michael A. Burstein, winner of the Astounding Award, multiple Hugo and Nebula Award nominee, author of "The Friendly Neighborhood of Peter Parker" in Webslinger: Unauthorized Essays on Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man
"When I saw '
Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers' for the very first time in cinema, the first 5 minutes of the movie were so overwhelming to me that I never wanted this movie to end. This book gave me the same feeling.... During reading I laughed, I got goosebumps and felt moved. I do not cry often, but it almost made me." ― psychotherapist Mathijs Schaa, GGZ Boxing
"This book is the perfect read to pair with the latest blockbuster movie,
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse!" ― First Comics News
"Basically, there's something in here for everyone, no matter your favorite Spidey." ―
Literary Hypewoman
