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.

Peter Parker: The Spectacular Spider-Man #2 Review

Peter Parker: The Spectacular Spider-Man #2 Peter Parker has come face-to-face with his sister but is there more to this story than meets the eye. Let's find out in issue number two. So, as the second issue opens up we catch up with Peter Parker who is of course in Chicago and here we see Peter is face to face with Ironheart who was joking about the fact that he is here to arrest her but he says, that she is the wrong person. He wasn't actually here to arrest Ironheart . It's more so that he's after the actual Infamous Iron Man , who is of course Doctor Doom but for now he'll just settle for getting her autograph. So, Ironheart isn't going to have none of his crap and she quickly just you know, bolts right into him. Takes him up into the sky, they both come crashing down and then there's a tiny little fight and then after that's all said and done we see, Peter Parker finally gets to talk to Tony Stark , or at least the AI consciousness th...

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...

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...
