    Good Part 1

    Although we had the prelude last issue, it appears the story is still heavily in setup mode.  In fact, other than the opening scene with Carlie showing Peter that she has spider powers, the action doesn't really start until the last 1/3 of the book.  It's even hard to tell what the Jackal's real plan is, other than making everyone hate and distrust Spider-Man.   
     
    The issue does setup the beginning of either a breakup or a growth moment for Spidey and Carlie's relationship early on.  This issue left me very intrigued for where things go next.  If you want to see the back-story on how the Avengers arrived on the scene, check out Spider-Island: Cloak and Dagger #1.

      Everyone is affected by Spider-Island 0

        Cover I really liked the art and concept for this cover. I thought it was pretty cool to see some superheroes wear Spidey’s costumes over the year. Story Peter has learned that everyone in New York has spider powers and that includes his girlfriend, Carlie. Now Peter has to stop all of this madness, but all of Spider-man’s friends cannot tell who the real Spider-man is.   Best Part In this issue we really see everyone being affected by Spider-Island. We get to see Mary Jane, Aunt Ma...

      Better Than a Spidery Transmitted Disease 0

      For two straight issues I've been complaining about Dan Slott over explaining everything to death. Now that "something is happening" I'm beginning to realize that he was trying to cram in explanation and story details for new readers. I wouldn't say he's got a perfect hang of things. I mean, actions in panel are still unnecessarily explained, but it's all balanced out by the most important part of a spider-book: HUMOR!I've always loved Spider-Man for one reason: his books trend on the lightheart...
