Ben Reilly: Spider-Man
by David Baldeón, J.M. DeMatteis
A kind of boring story with art that doesn't match the tone.
I will say I'm a fan of Ben but the dude just doesn't get a lot of quality stories. This one included. J.M. Demetteis is a fine writer but he does nothing special with Ben here. Ben just goes on moping about his life, not doing much, wondering if he can fit in or have a normal life. It's just a rehash of everything that came before with not many interesting twist or perspectives to help make it feel fresh. One good thing is the art is solid but the depressing tone for Ben doesn't seem to match the overall story it's telling.
A 2.5 out of 5.
