Spider-Man vs. Sinister Six
Author: J. Michael Strakinski
Artist: Phil Noto
Letter: VC’s Ariana Maher
We, here in Marvel, have a very detailed record of our continued complaints about Spider-Man’s books over the last few years. We’ve been frustrated that Spider-Man’s adventures seem to have taken over the hijinks of Peter Parker’s personal life. Spider-Man certainly fights a lot of bad guys, but it doesn’t seem like he has time to actually interact with non-super people.
It can be said that the creative team has really slipped the balance between Peter’s superhero work and personal life. Worse, the story views him as a pawn of evil corporates, becoming a mysterious defender of Earth, and if previews are believed, he may be involved in the nonsense of the universe. What happened to the friendly Spider-Man in the neighborhood?

There are several bright spots, and surprisingly, Spider-Man vs. The ominous 16 is one of them. Surprisingly, writer J. Michael Strakinski was unknown for his humor over the long term of six years at Amazing Spider-Man. This is the man who got Doom Doom crying on September 11th, adding spider totem luggage to the character, and Norman Osborne got Gwen Stacy pregnant, making things come back. That’s how fun times are, right?
However, the character’s work on running was his strength. So his return to character does just that, featuring a powerful character work as Peter Parker attempts to date Mary Jane Watson in a chic restaurant. It also gives off a loud and funny laugh as it appears that all the other Marvel heroes and villains will get bookings there.

The story of the brink of disaster dates is everything the current book doesn’t want to do. What draws readers to Spider-Man as a character is either no matter what superhero fight he fights, his personal life always infringes on it, or vice versa. When Spider-Man gets caught up in a bigger and bigger story, they take him away from being Peter Parker. He is why people have been reading his stories for decades. Spider-Man is not because he fights the bad guys, but because he fights for the people of his life.
So Peter tries to enjoy himself overnight before becoming Spider-Man. Would you make that impossible? That’s the creation of the classic Spider-Man story. Are all of the various enemies trying to make sure they don’t ruin the night of others? It’s Comic Gold. Why are there so many superheroes and supervillains booking that night? Only the cherry blossoms above this particular comic Sunday.

It is artist Phil Noto who makes this story feel even more classic. His portrayals of Peter and Mary Jane are rather lined up by John Romita Sr., but honestly, his work on the subject is reminiscent of Kevin Maguire, an international artist in the Justice League. He routes his linework and characters acting in realism, but here he doesn’t render anything, so he doesn’t distract him from the humor. It is summed up in people’s facial expressions about how they use their hands as they act and react. And I’ll let you talk, Noto knows how to sell expressions and lets the characters use their hands. This question is as handsome as it is fun to read.
This isn’t the first time Straczynski has returned to character this year. As the last page of this issue promotes, he writes the upcoming Amzing Spider-Man: Torn Mini series. If this is a warm-up for that series, it could be a welcome return to the character. Seriously, looking at Peter Parker feels like he’s just as refreshing as going on a date.
Verdict: Purchase
A quick overview
If that’s the case… Since I became a father, a lot has changed about the way I think about art and entertainment. I’m always keeping an eye on family comics that I can read with my son, and these Marvel and Disney. The comics were very fun. The book recruits Disney’s stable European comic creators to remix classic Marvel stories with Mickey Mouse and friends. Some people are better than others, but each one was interesting. This is the best bunch featuring Goofy. Steve Belling’s plot gives a fantastically stupid twist to Uncle Ben’s tragedy, promoted by the humorous Ricardo Sicki script of Deadpan. The Beat is similar to what we know about the origins of Spider-Man, but it’s so strange that you don’t know where the book goes. It’s so much fun. Francesco D’Ippolito’s Art is a loving and tribute to the entire original Steve Ditko Amazing Fantasy 15. The nasty gang Spider-Man from Ditko’s original story is shockingly suited to the whimsical and clumsy goofy. The visuals have all sorts of gags and fun. Lucio Ruvidotti’s colors are bright, poppy, and there is a limited palette of classic 60’s stories. Laura tartaglia lettering with slightly incomplete shape on balloons that feel real retro. I’m sure I can quickly write these Disney mashups down as simple corporate synergies and won’t deny the truth about them. However, these are interesting manga that are lovingly produced and worth reading. – Tr
Ultimates #14 Another Month, another great “Ultimates” issue. Issue 14 by Dennis Camp with Art by Van Frigali presents an interpretation of this alternative world of some of the most prominent capitalist organizations as Ultimate tries to change the world after the 3.0 initiative. But the most well-known companies, Alchemax, Roxxon, Hammer and Aim, have secret weapons on their sleeves, and are exceptional and slightly creepy weapons. This issue is not only a great introduction to new characters, but also a great moment that reminds us why Ultimate Captain America is the standout character in this run and why this ultimate Hawkeye is ten times more interesting than Central Universe Hawkey. Ultimate is always fun to read, and the villains they face are dangerous people. Without diving into spoilers, the new faction introduced has a setup that will lead to great events once the series ends. It may take a little while, considering the shift of many moving plot points in space. The only drawback of Ultimates is that we haven’t gotten any more, and this is another example of it. Who knows if this new villain organization only has four months left? Hopefully, camp can satisfy every plot the team presents. If you haven’t read the Ultimate, this issue is another great thing. go. Read it now. Seriously. -LM Star Wars High Republic Finale #01 will land the ship as coda of the Republic’s overall line, author Cavan Scott, artist Marika Cresta and colorist Jim Campbell landing the ship as smoothly and elegantly as possible. Defeated alongside the main villain, the marauder known as Nihil, and get a cohesive of Kieve Trenis’ arcs. When the High Republic began, she was a skier Padawan and a master of the Trondance Jedi, but soon rose to Knight status, with the Master and eventually Marshall opening positions for the Jedi Council. The character is a true hero of the Jedi Order and has achieved quite a victory, but without suffering from her lack of conviction in her order and ruining it, Scott brings an emotionally satisfying ending. Marika Cresta and Jim Campbell’s visuals are bold and bright, with rough textures that add depth to the scenery. If this is the end of the High Republic, I would like to praise the creative to open up a distant galaxy with something that gave us a new sandbox to explore. However, one of the main barriers for readers with a high line of republics was the highly complex intersecting plot lines. There was a scene from the comic that took place at the same time as another scene from the book. I waited for the softcover before moving on to an e-reader, but the comic couldn’t wait, so I knew about the destruction of the place before reading the main book. The other is a horrible commitment someone has to make to get the whole story, and it’s understandable if the reader doesn’t move on to everything after being burned in the Disney Reset. – GC3
