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.

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...

Extraordinary X-Men #2 Review

Extraordinary X-Men #2 Mutants from past, present and future will need to unite to help overcome one of the darkest moments in their history. All these and more in the pages of Extraordinary X-Men issue number two. As the comic opens X-Men Magik and Colossus on their way to recruit their old friend Nightcrawler but they don’t find the blue elf, they do find his tail however and a puddle of his blood. But seems like Kurt Wagner can always loose on his tail and find another new one. Well, that may not be fun but at the very least that is a condolence. We can only assume that he was taken down by the new incarnation of the Marauders whom we saw chasing him previously for some unknown reason ( Extraordinary X-Men #1 ). In Neepawa , Manitoba , Canada , Iceman and Storm meet up with Logan for the very first time. Needless to say that all parties involved are pretty confused right about now. Well then Logan tells them that he’s from the future, a very different and alternat...

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...

Extraordinary X-Men #1 Review

Extraordinary X-Men #1 A brand new era of the merry mutants are about to begin in the pages of the first issue of brand new monthly ongoing Extraordinary X-Men . Since it is a new X-Title lots of expectations and speculations were made before it was even released and now it’s here for us to find out how it turns out to be. The comics opens with Ororo Munroe aka Storm sitting at Charles Xavier ’s desk. Although I suppose you could call it her desk in her office now. Because, Wolverine is gone, Beast is off with the Inhumans tying to help them out with their recent crisis, Cyclops is off the team as well. Actually, Cyclops has done some terrible things in his run as the leader of the X-Men and now Scott Summers ' name is something that no one is willing to even mention, which more or less leaves Storm as the de facto leader of the mutant community. It seems that the Anti-Mutant aggression is at an all-time high all over the world and they are not just your regular a...

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...

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...

Hawkeye Vs. Deadpool #0 Review

Hawkeye Vs. Deadpool #0 Welcome everyone to a series that should not have been created. We are reviewing Hawkeye Vs. Deadpool , issue 0 today. So, we open up to Halloween night and we see this nerdy guy named Jeremy Ellsden , just quickly leaving his apartment. You know, ditching his cat. Why would you ever ditch your cat nap anyway? So, he runs out goes over to Hawkeye who is dressed as Ultron for Halloween . That's actually pretty great and he runs over to him and he gives him a flash drive and says "Hey man, maybe you can help me out as you know I really don't want to die" or anything like that and Hawkeye just toss him the fuck out of the place, leaving him to just walk down the street and see who can actually help him out. He then gives Deadpool the flash drive because he just sees Deadpool was being there dressed as a Ghostbuster and just dumps some candy and his flash drive in there. That way, he thinks he's out, he's in the clear but t...
