Amazing Spider-Man: Worldwide, Vol. 2
by Dan Slott
I love Spider-man. I do. He's my dude. He's my hero. I'm naming my first kid Ben Parker (No joke). He will always make me feel like I can be a better man. He's just a guy trying to do the right thing from New York. That's me! All me.
So why am I giving Amazing Spider-man Worldwide Volume 2 a 2? Because it's just not...that...fun. Spider-man is broken into two arcs here. First one dealing with Mr. Negative. Now I usually give high praise to Dan Slott's villains. I think they're usually well crafted and actually put FEAR into the heroes. I loved his Hobgoblin and enjoyed Mr. Negative in brand new day. However here he comes across as lame and boring villain of the week. Even worse we get Scorpio who is just LAME as fuck. He plans on taking over the world or some Saturday cartoon plan.
What I liked: There's a couple of laugh out loud moments. Usually involving lackys from the villains. They're so stupid. Also the art is pretty solid and everything flows pretty well. No complaints in the art department.
What I didn't like: The plot, or lack of. I just don't care about these villains at all and Spider-man comes across as boring when he's all high and mighty. His quips besides 1 or 2 are just lameeeeee. He's just not funny! HOW CAN I READ A SPIDER-MAN BOOK WHERE SPIDER-MAN isn't FUNNY!? Ugh. I also hate how both arcs wrap up, as to promise us more from villains, but none have left an impact yet in this worldwide series.
Overall Amazing Spider-man Worldwide has been kind of a letdown. I didn't love all of Big Time but did enjoy moments. Worldwide has very few of those aswell.. Which is a shame because I actually LIKE the concept of Peter growing up, getting his shit together, and using his smarts. However here it's coming off as he's still dumb, with a lot of money, and really bad jokes (and not on purpose bad to make us laugh. He tries to sing Miley Cyrus song I shit you not...) So yeah a 2/5. Sadnezz.
