Great Spidey Comic for a Lapsed Reader
Now, I haven't read any Spider-man since One More Day. Not really as a political protest or any form of special hiatus, just didn't really get around to it. It happens. Anyway, I picked this up on a whim and was pleasantly surprised. I quickly got a decent idea of what had been going on and openly accepted new characters and new takes on old characters without any qualms. The first thing that struck me about this issue, however, is the GORGEOUS artwork. In my humble opinion, Michael Gaydos (whom I had not heard of prior to this, so forgive me if I've been living under a rock) captures the essence of classic Spider-man lore and combines a brilliantly contemporary style. If you're a lazy constantly lapsing reader (the likes that would make most comicviners' collective blood boil), pick this up and enjoy!
