    Spidey is still amazing when its free!

    Out of all the free comics in Free Comic Book Day this one is the best by far. It tells a short story about the new madame web as she observes the current disadvantage spider-man now posses which is the lost of his spider-sense which is probably the strongest weapon he has ever possessed during his entire career and how it affects him while facing off against a monkey using a hormone controlled spider-woman 

    The Good
    The artwork is pretty awesome and I love it, the story and the characters are depicted well and is a perfect jumping point to what is going on now and is pretty darn funny and the action is pretty well done too. introduces the future of spidey and the long awaited #666 which will kick off the spider-island event.
    We also get to see spidey learn Kung-Fu by Shang-chi!! spider-fu if you may xD

    The Bad
    The bad? what's that? no really...what is that? this comic is that good i almosat forgot there was something as "bad" in a comic (till i remember of such horrors like countdown) you might say it was short but come on....It's free!!!!

    Verdict
     This might not be the best review because i didn't go in deep as i always try to but that's simply because the thing is just so damn good i give it 5/5 because it wasn't long but as i said........IT WAS FREEEEEEE!!!! and this is an example of what i expect to see in future FCBD's, high quality stuff that might slowly revive the interest of thousands again to pick up a comic books

      The appeal of Spider-Man is that he remains as the teenage gateway character into comics.  When I was younger children fell in love with Superman if they were exposed to comics young enough.  Spider-man for teenagers and Batman for that bridge age between teens and adults.  I still don't think that has changed much.  Gateway characters are important, they expose people to comics and exposure to comics is good for business.  The set back to gateway characters is that they tend to remain being wri...

      For a free book, it was great. 0

      Obviously, this was a Free Comic Book Day issue, and for what it is(basically an extended preview of Spidey's next big story), it was great. First of all, it's a Mandrill story, and that is AWESOME! I don't know if I've brought it up here before, but I LOVE Mandrill. He's such a ridiculous character, because his powers and appearance do not reconcile themselves to me at all, and yet he still manages to be entertaining. His part in this story, manipulating Spider-Woman to fight Spidey, is very en...
