Peter Parker: The Spectacular Spider-Man Vol. 1: Into the Twilight
by Michael Walsh, Chip Zdarsky, Jordie Bellaire
So I was close to saying this was pretty meh but then the last issue came along and yeah, I really loved that issue...a lot.
So anyway, what's it about? Peter is chasing down Vulture at the start so it begins as a run of the mil story but soon we get deeper into it. We meet a new hero who creates weapons and suits for heroes. The Thinker makes his grand return. Then we have Peter Parker's sister, yes his sister, and they begin to team up to survive the bad guys. The very last issue deals with J.J. and Spider-man finally settling their differences.
Good: Love, love, LOVE the final issue. It's one that really stands out and pushes Peter's relationship with J.J. further than it's ever had. I also really enjoy the fights here, fun and quick witted. Spider-man does have some really funny moments too.
Bad: The actual plot is kind of all over the place and lacks focus. The main enemy is lame. The sister sidekick thing is kind of meh. And I really think there's far to much talking for certain characters.
Overall it was a pretty mixed bag till the end. I was going with a 2.5 but then that last issue easily pushes it to a 3.5. So I'll settle on a 3 out of 5. Not bad.
