This entry-level Spider-man title has really nice art, but the stories are a bit boring. Each story is only one issue long, so the stories are a bit simple. I'd say this would be good for kids or for people who have never read comics before, but if you have any comics reading experience, you'll probably be bored.

This is downright in the middle for me. It's not great, it's not bad, it's just OKAY. I'd give this a 2.5 but since I'm feeling nice (And I love my Spidey) I'll be giving this a 3. However, I wish it was better than it was. What I liked: Going through different villains is a easy way to get caught up with Peter. I also think the artstyle is simple but works well. Almost a throwback for modern day. I also enjoyed the relationship with Aunt May and Gwen here and made it slightly different but it w...

I loved this. Nostalgic and modern at once, and written in perfect vernacular; the art is variable, though both artists are a little offbeat, to the good.

This umpteenth retelling of Peter Parker's high school years is a bit of a wash, as innocuous as it is unnecessary. For some kid, I'm sure it will be awesome, but I've seen this stuff rehashed way too many times in my life to be impressed by this middling iteration.

I freaking loved this. It takes me back to what I loved about spider-man when I was a kid. Own these in single issuesFull review coming later.

This was very cute! The art is colorful and fun and the stories are simple and enough in line with the MCU that young readers wouldn't get jarred by differences. I especially loved the appearances by Black Panther and Iron Man (Peter asking Tony for dating advice was so cute). I deducted a star because the editing on this series seems inconsistent--"Stacy" and "Stacey" are used interchangeably, there are some sentences that don't make sense because of errors ("patrol" is used instead of "patroll...

If you're over the age of 10, then this comic is not for you. It's geared towards kids of that age. It's a look-back at Peter's teenage years, only written in a more childish way. I didn't know that, therefore, I was disappointed.2/5

Same story as always, just told in a more "fun" way. Meh.

this was so fun to read! will definitely be getting volume 2 asap.

Is there anyone out there who doesn’t know the Spider-Man origin through and through?! Of course there are. There are kids appearing all the time, totally fresh Marvel fans-to-be, who have never read a Spider-Man comic but want to know where to start. And don’t you dare tell them to go back to the beginning and read the 1960s Stan Lee comics because that’ll kill any interest they might have!That’s the thinking behind Spidey: retelling classic Spider-Man but in a modern comics style to a 21st cen...

Clearly geared to younger readers, each issue is a standalone with a different villain and the same Nick Bradshaw penciled origin page with a little different text each issue. The issues mainly focus on Spider-Man's fights with a page or two devoted to high school. Gwen Stacy has been retconned in to Parker's high school years in place of Liz Allen. (Gwen originally didn't appear until Pete was in college at Empire State.) Robbie Thompson has a good handle on the dialog and Spider-man's quips pa...

[Read as single issues]Set in Peter Parker's earliest days as Spider-Man, this series gives us some new adventures of everyone's favourite wall-crawling superhero. It's not too serious, it's not covered in continuity, and it's never a chore to read. It's also perfect for new or younger readers. Most of all, it's cute. Peter Parker's world lately is a lot more complicated, and it's fun to look back on these early adventures and see him worrying about dating Gwen or dealing with Flash Thompson. Th...

Cute series, especially for kids/tweens just getting into superheroes.

It was something I really wanted to like and couldn't wait to start reading about Spidey's first adventures... .. but it was a letdown. This one wasn't for me. It's for kids. I guess I wanted something not that kid-friendly and simple.

Enjoyable as an adult, but REALLY would have appealed to me when I was just starting to read comics at 7-8. It’s very good at what it’s supposed to be: a gateway for new Spider-fans.

Hmm...Hmm...Hmm...Last year I wrote an article that was critical of comics', especially Marvel's, tendency to de-age their characters. They've made some diversity movements, and that's cool, but in terms of age we haven't seen as much movement. Ms. Marvel, Iron Man/Iron Heart, Moon Girl, Nova, Miles Morales, Totally Awesome Hulk. ALL bringing forth diversity in just about every way. Except age.I got a pretty good lambasting for the article, by the way. Mostly from people who were convinced I was...

I had to scratch my head when I first saw this book. 'Doesn't Marvel already publish TWO Spidey books for younger readers?' I thought. 'What's the point of this third one?'Well, I couldn't tell ya, I'm afraid. What I can tell you, though, is that this is easily the best of the three. The book has a charm the other two are mostly lacking. Oh, and the artwork on this one is really great, with Spidey's fight with the Lizard being a particular artwork highlight.If you're only going to read one young...

4 starsTHIS is my favorite Spider-Man. The still inexperienced, tons of quips mid-fight, filled with teen angst Spider-Man. Not the Avenger or the successful CEO of his own company, this one. All of the usual baddies show up in this one. Sandman, Lizard, Kraven (ever so briefly), Green Goblin and of course Doc Ock. Definitely excited to read more of this.

A "Current Day" look at the "Early Days" of Spider-Man. He's still in high School, but current phones, the internet and such are in play here. A fun read, with Peter meeting Gwen for the first time. We see "Doc Ock", Sandman, Doctor Doom, The Green Goblin, to name a few...

Although the stories are not necessarily complex, and sometimes the artwork is just average, there is something that just clicks about this collection. Part of it is a nostalgia factor - for those of us who have been fans for years - and part of it is the inherent goodness and/or relatable nature of the character as a teenager. There were some nice scenes here between the standard superheroics, including Spider-Man receiving encouragement during an unexpected conversation with a young fan. Lastl...
