Spider-Man: Back in Black by J. Michael Straczynski
3.0

Peter's aunt is shot, leaving him to go a bit fucking nuts. This is basically one long storyline of Peter hunting down who hurt his aunt.

It starts with him slowing putting the pieces together, who hurt his aunt, and who hired the killer. It shows when Peter doesn't joke around, when he's on a mission, he can be a very dangerous man. I do like the change and think it works mostly well. I think too much of the plot is convenient of how he finds the killer and which way he goes about it. And the idea that Peter would murder seems a bit over the top but the overall change in character does make sense.

A 3 out of 5 for entertaining but this isn't your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man.
