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 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...
