Peter Parker: The Spectacular Spider-Man #1
The Spectacular Spider-Man is back in New York. That's right we're here with Peter Parker; The Spectacular Spider-Man issue number one. So, as the comic opens up we are going to be caught up on the basics of who Peter Parker is and how he got his powers. Of course they're going to kind of establish the death of his parents when he was very young.

At the moment where these spider bites him and so far catching us up to what he's been doing today and as we flip the page we actually see that this is Peter Parker once again recounting his origin to someone very familiar and he says the more or less the situation he's been in lately, his responsibility has shot up.

He's got to do way more than he's ever had to do before. And all of this is happening while him and Johnny Storm are grabbing lunch together in the city. Unfortunately, it is time for Johnny to go. As he swings off he's talking about how things have really changed. Yet, they've stayed the same and of course.

Grace and Beauty From Above
In distance we see that a bunch of crooks are doing what crooks do best. They're robbing a place. Jumping down to try to save the lady that is in trouble, he tries to shoot his web button malfunctions. Although the criminals still get taken down. Turns out, Ant-Man was involved with this.

You Have Ants
In this situation, Ant-Man has a little bit of a laugh on behalf of Peter Parker considering he's been gone and the city has been just fine with all these other heroes running around protecting it. Everybody else going off with Scott to meet somebody named The Mason with the New Avengers.

The Mason Protocol
He might not be so acquainted with because while he hasn't been around he gets taken to their new facility where more or less everybody's just doing what they need to do. You know, looking around the city coming up with new gadgets doing the superhero thing. Peter is quick to learn that everything has sort of changed at a level he didn't expect.

An Inch Taller
Ant-Man is working with one of his quote-unquote arch enemies but it turns out responsibility is going to call Peter Parker away to somewhere else. Later that night, we see Peter coming up to a house and he has a new plan. He is going to play baddy instead of good. Spidey to try to get the details he needs as someone opens the door.

Too Late for Spider-Sense
Spider-Man takes a step back and then he gets blasted back with a giant blast of energy as someone in an Iron Man suit appears right in front of him over with Johnny Storm, who was expecting to see a familiar face. We see that he is greeted by someone else. He is greeted by a woman calling herself Teresa Parker and she is the sister of Peter Parker and that brings us to the end of the first issue.

Introducing, Teresa Parker
So yeah, Peter Parker; The Spectacular Spider-Man issue number one is a good comic. It's entertaining and puts Peter Parker right back in New York almost like he's never left. Because at least to him that's what it feels like. Up until he starts discovering that things have changed and of course the giant mystery at the end, has me super intrigued.

This comic gets a 7.5 out of 10 from me. Writer Chip Zdarsky (Sex Criminals, Howard the Duck) and Adam Kubert (Ultimate Fantastic Four, Ultimate X-Men) has done a quite decent job on the issue as I'm hoping this is a good start to something great. It's definitely more enjoyable than what Dan Slott (She-Hulk, Silver Surfer) has been doing and I can't wait to keep up with it.

Superior Spider-Man #3 Review

Superior Spider-Man #3 Welcome everybody to memory you Superior Spider-Man number three from Marvel Comics . Seriously, why does he need a Spider-Signal anyway? let's get into this because that the comic opens and we see that Jameson has put up the Spider-Signal and he's swinging around it and he wins and he started getting into a conversation and Spider in psych listen only an idiot would put this up and let's all my enemies know where I'm gonna be. Like, what kind of idiot are you? I agree it's kind of funny but the comic goes on as Jameson and Spider-Man talks. I have a conversation we see the girl there and later on in the lab he we see that Peter is actually modifying even further so he cannot detect The Vulture 's wings on the magnetic wings and the signal they give off because obviously it's auto and he knows his stuff like he is trying to do good at least. So, as he goes on you know swing in and we see that it's Adrian Toomes ; A...

Thanos (2016) #1 Review

Thanos (2016) #1 If you have been following comics for any amount of time recently, I don’t think that it’s a surprise at all that we’ve seen an influx of movie characters starts to take the spotlights. A couple of years ago we had Thanos Rising , which is one series that really understands The Mad Titan . This week, Marvel launched the first issue of a brand-new series featuring Thanos , which is going to put the entire spotlight on the tyrant himself and take us in a brand-new direction. So, let’s just jump right in to the story. As the book gets going, the writer here Jeff Lemire ( Essex County , Extraordinary X-Men – X-Haven ), who should be a familiar name to a lot of you takes a little bit of time to catch up with what’s been happening. The last couple of time we seen Thanos , things weren’t exactly going as good as they should have been. During Civil War II , he was defeated and he was taken down again by Doctor Doom before that in Secret Wars . So, Thanos is ki...

The Clone Conspiracy #1 Review

The Clone Conspiracy #1 We came back once again as the Amazing Spider-Man has returned with a brand-new saga, written by Dan Slott ( Superior Spider-Man , The Thing ) who continues an ongoing tale of Peter Parker with artist Jim Cheung ( Avengers – The Children's Crusade , New Avengers – Illuminati ). This time he brings the Spider-Man event ' Dead No More: The Clone Conspiracy '. The comic opens up in a graveyard and we see Peter telling himself that everything he’s ever defended, every foe he has ever defeated, there is one that he cannot defeat and that is the fact that everybody dies and today is no different because they are all at a funeral of John Jonah Jameson, Sr . During this time Peter also manages to catch up on everybody else that he has lost. Gwen Stacy , Uncle Ben and many other people important to him and made him what he is today. What is really great about this is the fact that Peter just feels terrible because Aunt May just lost the secon...

Black Panther (2016) #2 Review

Black Panther (2016) #2 Can Black Panther stop this Wakandan Civil War or will his hatred, pride and doubt will sink him in whole. Lets’ get on this issue and find out. The comic opens up to us with the Shield of the Nation where T'Challa is getting information on who might be behind on trying to start this war. Some of the evidence points to Killmonger but we find out that he is dead now. It was his patience for part he was trying to create the perfect tool to control the hearts of men. With that, Killmonger ’s creation is twisting the minds of men all over Wakanda and even at the Great Mound , where the massacre happened ( Black Panther (2016) #1 ). T'Challa says that he has tracked the witch to the frontier but he will go alone. But his step-mother Ramonda tells him that he won’t be going alone because he is king and who will take over if he somehow dies, the soldiers will go instead. T'Challa explains this is not a fight that is easily resolved with weap...

Royals #7 Review

Royals #7 The Royal family of Inhumans finds themselves in more trouble than ever before in Royals monthly ongoing series, issue number 7 . So, let's get right in. Once again as we get into the comic we are taken to five thousand years from now where we see the last Inhuman is observing an epic battle but before we can continue on with that, we actually transition over to modern day where we see another battle happening in an arena here. Things are going a bit different. There's a lot of emotion to be tossed around specifically between one member of the Badoon named Dara Ko Eke and Captain Swain . Now, if you don't know them, they're actually a very popular race in Marvel and Swain and this is kind of in relation to some relationships and things that are going on now. While that's going on things aren't exactly progressing as well for Gorgan as he was captured by those lizard people. Things are turning out pretty bad for him. For one, these dude...

The Clone Conspiracy #2 Review

The Clone Conspiracy #2 So, just when you think Peter Parker cannot handle any twist that you thrown at him at the end of The Clone Conspiracy #1 , found out that his first love Gwen Stacy is very well alive and she knew that he was the Amazing Spider-Man on ‘ The Night She Died ’ and as this comics starts, it’s going to be quite shocking for him but not in just the way you might imagine because the creator of the “ Clone Saga ”, the Jackal has been on a cloning spree and he’s cloned quite a lot of familiar faces. Not only are them the villains but it’s almost anybody that have died while Spider-Man was around. So, you can see how this could go bad. The book starts with the Scarlet Spider running or should I say, webbing his way out of a crazy mob of San Franciscans  that is infected by the Carrion Virus that made them all act like a pack of ravaging Zombies and it was on an alternate universe. Kaine was desperately asking for a Portal jump as he was out of webs an...

Superior Spider-Man #2 Review

Superior Spider-Man #2 Welcome to my review of Superior Spider-Man , issue number two from  Marvel Comics   and this is of course that cover where we see Spider-Man is making out with Mary Jane Watson and there is a rumor that he's going to rape her. You know, what's everybody's been saying. Well, let's get into this. It opens up and we got your Spider-Man . He's actually being congratulated by Jay Jonah Jameson and we see Parker 's spirit still wandering there. He's like, all these years I get nothing and suddenly you take over my body and he likes you. He admits he was wrong. I find that bit funny and as the comment goes on we see that Pete is trying to get into MJ 's pants, except every attempt he makes doesn't work. So, he constructs to those little nano-bot type of spiders just a note to help him out and commands hi Mechanoid to replicate 800 more. Over the course of come to see he keeps going China to date MJ and different...

Extraordinary X-Men #3 Review

Extraordinary X-Men #3 The bonds of time in space and even other dimensions aren’t going to be enough to keep the mutants from re-uniting, all these and more in pages of Extraordinary X-Men number #3. Let’s hop in and see what happens next, shall we? The comic opens up in the mysterious X-Haven , only it’s not so mysterious anymore. Turns out, Storm and the rest of the teachers to avoid human violence against mutants decided to move the entire school inside Limbo and while the real estate might be to die for the neighbors and their little ornery mainly because their Demons are now attacking the school. Storm and Iceman do everything they can to turn the tide of the battle but this is a very losing proposition right now. Everyone else in X-Haven is either untrained or too sick to fight the Demon horde. From there we transit over to Logan who is having a meet-up with Jean Grey of Earth-TRN240 for the first time. Shockingly these two actually have a lot in common seeing ...
