You know that big thing some people complain about comic characters, that they never really age, and nothing really evolves much cause of timeline restraints. Well Chip is given the opportunity to start Peter's life in the 60's and through the decades age him and have the world around him change. In other words, we grow with Peter through his teen years to an old man.

The events that occur through this series might seem familiar. They tackle the green goblin rise, Harry's fall, Gwen's death, Clone Saga, and so much more. In the end it's all done with a interesting twist, one that will actually alter Peter's life, and it's done nearly perfect for every storyline. On top of the storytelling of subject matter we know (and sometimes done better here than the originals) we have great art with fantastic feel of old school to modern day.

The only thing that didn't really work for me was the overall civil war storyline that is present since issue 1. It makes sense, it's not bad, it just was the least interesting part for me. Could also be because I don't like Civil War event much. This has much more weight behind it though as Peter is a BIG character in it.

Overall, if you like Spider-man, you'll most likely either like or love this story. This is hands down going to be a classic for a ton of people (look at the reviews on here alone) and while I wouldn't say it's perfect because of the civil war plotline it remains one of the best Spider-man stories of our time. A 4.5 out of 5.
