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.

Venom (2016) #1 Review

Venom (2016) #1 Recently a brand-new ongoing Venom series has launched and we are here today to discuss issue #1 of the series. This book is long awaited as this book once again changing the host of the alien Symbiote and what you’re going to notice here is that he is not a Guardian of the Galaxy any more or the so-called Space Knight or anything like that. They are trying to go back to basics and make the Venom Symbiote part of someone who is a scumbag because the Symbiote bonds with its host and it amplifies if they are evil. So at first glance, this new person who is destined to be the next host of the Symbiote, isn’t very likable at all and they are definitely trying to go for that feeling here. The hero is Lee Price , who is a disabled military veteran, which kind of reflects on the Flash Thompson story with Venom but not really considering throughout this entire comic while reading it. But this guy doesn’t feel like Flash Thompson . Instead he’s got a very muc...

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...

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...

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...

Black Panther (2016) #1 Review

Black Panther (2016) #1 Here we are guys with the issue number one of Black Panther ongoing which is also a part of “ A Nation Under Our Feet ” storyline. We are still looking into Wakanda and see what’s changed in Secret Wars . The comic opens up as T'Challa recalls his past failures against his ancestors, being cast out from his own country and then to have his own people having questioned him about what he’s really trying to do as a King of that nation. Then we see the Great Mound where T'Challa tries to praise the Vibranium miners for their hard work but someone’s manipulating them. Filling them with hate and trying to start a Civil War . T'Challa may question himself but he still knows that he is the Black Panther and with that he can track anyone through the wind and rain. Because he hasn’t tracked just the body, he tracks the very soul of a person. But then the deceiver’s scent has gone stale sort and he stops his pursuit with a soldier telling him tha...

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 ...

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...

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.
