I had grown a little tired of the Amazing Spider-Man in the past few years and wanted a new voice. Not that I don't like Dan Slott, but I just don't like Peter Parker as Tony Stark. Chip Zdarsky has rocketed up the ranks and seemed like a great fit for Spider-Man and this book shows that he is. I like how he writes Peter/Spidey and the tone of the book is a little more light, which is how I like my Spider-Man. Comics are an escape for me and they have become increasingly dark and depressing. I w...

I skipped buying this monthly but then comiXology had it as part of their 69p trade sale so it was an immediate buy for that amount.It's a fun book. It feels a little Team up at times (not in a bad way) with Iron Heart and Human Torch popping up. I'm glad someone is following up the Family Business GN as well because it quite liked that. I thought Zdarsky might try and be too jokey, and the plot and action scenes would suffer because of it, but he manages to blend the humour and story well.

Dear Spidey,Sorry, but in Chip Zdarsky’s take on your character, I just wish you would shut the #$%@ up. I like quippy, but it seems you’ve been bitten by a long-winded, annoying, mildly amusing, radioactive spider. I’d somehow paraphrase the “vaccinated with a phonograph needle” line from the Marx Brothers, but that joke is only relevant if you voted for FDR (Kids, that’s Franklin Delano Roosevelt. He was a president when everything on the internet was still in black and white).Maybe you can ch...

Action, great humour, a rich cast of characters and a lot of interaction between them. This is EXACTLY what a Spider-Man series should be.It seems that - after the awful and interminable Slott era - we are in for a great ride with Spidey thanks to Chip and Spencer.

Spider-Man is back in his friendly neighborhood! -- back cover blurbI think I've read at least a half-dozen various Spidey collections already this year, but Into the Twilight was the best because it was just fun and 'back to basics' (also promised on the back cover) for the eternally spry Peter Parker. Appearances by other Marvel heroes (Human Torch, Ant-Man, Black Widow and more), lots of quippy dialogue / references and humorous situations amidst the action, and then it wraps up with, of all

3This is my first Spider-Man book and while I enjoyed some of the story, it just felt a little slow for my liking. One of my biggest hates is the self referencing in the panels, basically just means that they want you to read a previous book. Chip Zdarsky definitely has a style of writing that suits Spider-Man, but I just couldn't overcome the slow beginning. Into the Twilight might be destined to grow into a longer arc, but this storyline wasn't that impressive for a first timer and I may need

[Read as single issues]I really like Chip Zdarsky. His humour really resonates with me, but when he tries to play it straight it doesn't always end well. This volume is an example of that.He has a solid grasp of plotting, with lots of seemingly disconnected threads tying together in different ways as the series progresses, but none of them feel like they play to his strengths. There's a lot of exposition, and sometimes a lot of set-up for a joke that doesn't quite land. I like the re-introductio...

I really liked this, Zdarsky writes a really fun Spider-Man. I really liked seeing Peter and Johnny hang out, they prolly have one of my favorites friendships in the Marvel Universe. I also like the stuff with Peter’s sister she’s a cool character I hope they do more with her. The stand out issue was definitely the last one with J Jonah Jameson, it was surprisingly emotional and shows a lot of what I love about the character.

! A M A Z I N G !

I was really hoping this would be something new and different, but it mirrors the tone and style of Slott's Amazing Spider-Man which I don't care for and have grown very tired of. One plus I will give is the interview between JJJ and Spider-Man, which was satisfying, although I don't know if I completely agree with the climax of it. Otherwise, something I don't like that Zdarsky does, and he's not the only Spidey writer to do this, is make Spider-Man a chatterbox. In this volume, Spider-Man neve...

Amusing edgy humour. Zdarsky definitely embodies the neurotic Parker voice. Good adventures, and situations he can’t control, and romantic misadventures, and situations Spidey can’t thwip his way out of.All signs of a good Spidey book, and if that’s all that Zdarsky achieved in this book he’d still be doing fine, I’d continue to read this.But it’s the culmination of everything Spidey and JJJ have been through - the Dinner with Jonah issue #6 - that elevates this book. Zdarsky digs deep into thes...

Chip Zdarsky writing Spider-Man should be better than this. Him poking fun at Spidey was the best part of his admittedly lukewarm Howard The Duck series, so I expected a full-on satirical take on crybaby Spider-Man. But nope, Chip does the same thing with Spectacular that he did with every other comic he wrote — pretty much nothing. The story is somewhere between “generic” and “nonexistent”. Peter’s fake sister from the Family Business OGN shows up, she’s in some trouble with the government for

Well, it's not Dan Slott. :( But it's not bad either. At least for the most part Zdarsky does fairly well. A few beats don't quite work but there are some pretty great moments too, especially earlier on in the book. Zdarsky handles the Spidey humor fairly well. Love that one of the Kubert boys is one the job! See so few Named Artists working on the current Marvel on-goings it's great to see a steady hand on art chores. I'll be back for more next time.

Peter is going on with his life, teaming with Human torch when he fights Vulture and then meets the Mason, Super hero gear repair-er and then drama and everything, Pete meeting a girl and then finally his sister comes in and she has something that the villain group called “The Gray Blade” led by Corben Mintz want and to protect her, he has to find ways. But when Kingpin, Tinkerer and even Vulture (now outfitted with new tech) get involved, its upto him to save the day meanwhile People are closin...

Peter Parker, the Spectacular Spider-Man is supposed to be a back to basics approach to Spider-Man. Zdarsky mostly focuses on setting up the next joke, no matter how long that takes. Sometimes that takes a really long time. This book is SOOO wordy. Every Zdarsky comic I've ever read has been burdened with too many words on the page and the trend continues here. You'd think a comic book artist would know how to tell a story visually, but that's never been the case with Zdarsky. The plot meanders

Having been around for fifty-five years through comics and other media, we ought to know the origin story of how Peter Parker got bitten by a radioactive spider, which gained him superpowers and how "with great power comes great responsibility". Even based on recent works like the cinematic Homecoming didn't need to explain this backstory whilst introducing us a new incarnation of everyone's favourite wall-crawler.Opening the first issue of Chip Zdarsky's Peter Parker: The Spectacular Spider-Man...

Although this is quintessential old school down-to-Earth Spidey caught up in some undercover ops by Grey Blade, it is a bit empty; on the other hand, the downfallen, stay-at-home conspiracy theorist blogger with very little following J Jonah Jameson is a broken man, all he has is his ever present obsession with Spider-Man, and there's an issue in this volume that focuses on this Spider-Man trope, in a very well plotted issue, wonderfully drawn, almost with a nod to Steve Dikto by resident artist...

It’s clear that Chip Zdarsky loves spider-man. He’s a real fanboy of the old school spider stories. This whole volume is one large reference to stories by Stan Lee, Roy Thomas, and David Micheline. The problem is that while the pace is great and the artwork easy on the eyes, the storyline is pretty dumb. Hopefully, as the story progresses it will improve. I enjoyed the first volume enough, and am myself a spider fanboy, to continue reading on.

So I was close to saying this was pretty meh but then the last issue came along and yeah, I really loved that issue...a lot. So anyway, what's it about? Peter is chasing down Vulture at the start so it begins as a run of the mil story but soon we get deeper into it. We meet a new hero who creates weapons and suits for heroes. The Thinker makes his grand return. Then we have Peter Parker's sister, yes his sister, and they begin to team up to survive the bad guys. The very last issue deals with J....

3.75 Silver Starswith Golden Sparkschronologically in order (above each of the series page), this is taking place after a lot of things; Amazing Spider man 1999-2013 & Superior Spider-man & Another Amazing Spider-man 2014 & 2015, 2018 & ... so no good place to start (but I already started it! yas! but not for you, if you haven't.)& heck! second volume is sooooooooooo damn interesting (I mean, just look at that cover!) I just wanted to get there! I waited so long for something like this to happen...
