Peter Parker: The Spectacular Spider-Man, Vol. 4: Coming Home
by Chip Zdarsky
This is a harder one to rate because most of this volume was pretty good and then the last issue hit.
And it was fan-fucking-tastic.
Hands down the last issue here is one of the best single Spider-man issues ever. It has so many great qualities to show who Peter is. Best part is there's no major villain, no major character dying, just Peter being Spider-man. Every day man doing every day crime fighting. However, you can see how it effects all the people around new york. It's wonderfully told.
The other half of the volume is finishing up the future storyline of Old Peter Parking giving up the Spider-man suit, while our current one fights his battle for him. The next story arc is about Sandman dying and Spider-man being...well a hero.
Good: Both the Sandman and final issue are pretty top notch. It captures the heart of Spider-man, and sadly, while Chip's run is good, if every arc was as good as those this would be the best Spider-man run of all time. I also think this wraps up all the major plot points that Chip introduced in satisfying ways, which isn't always easy to do.
Bad: The future storyline ends okay but it wasn't my favorite storyline. Also, it wraps up too quickly for my taste.
Overall, a pretty damn strong volume to finish. While they vary on how good each one is, the last issue overall is a 5/5. So I'll bump this all together from 3.5 to a 4.
