Meh. Good comebacks from the hero. Good Art but the stories were average.

Nice. Almost like little character studies of everyone but Spider-Man, but you get the Spider-Man stuff through the way he interacts with other characters. This would be a really good one to try out if you're just dipping a toe in the Marvel waters.

Spider-man must be really fun to write. The constant jokes really make this series enjoyable. Also it's really cool that it's basically Spidey and a different hero every issue (or every 2). I also LOVE the art so far.

Inconsistent. The Cover was awful. The Red Hulk story was dumb. The Hawkeye story was moderately interesting. And it ended with Peter Parker helping Steve Rogers with creating a comic book. And yet the voice of Peter Parker was wrong throughout.

The last story of the bunch made me smile.

Spider is dealing with being the member of several superhero teams and is worried about spreading himself too thin but also has to deal with his own personal baggage as a solo hero when joining a team of established heroes.

It was okay: I just didn’t feel as though I was reading anything that hadn’t been written several times before. I mean, we know that Spider-Man is a loner that desperately wants to belong but his own wisecracking nature prevents that at times. Good fun, but slight.

This book was good fun, but what was up with Hawkeye? The first few issues also employed some of the most appropriate uses of bold lettering.

Issues four and five in here are lovely little character pieces that I thoroughly enjoy and are one of the things I want out of a monthly team up book.

A very fitting single issue that celebrates 50myears of Spider-man by exploring a day between Aunty May and Peter.

I found it very touching.

I was entertained but not blown away. The tone of this book was very light and humorous even for Spider-man. The focus of this series seems to Spider-man's relationships with other heroes, primarily other Avengers.

The main story line in this volume featured Mole Man and was actually handled in a really interesting way and even though I'm not a huge Red Hulk fan I enjoyed the team up.

I have very mixed feelings about the last issue in this volume in which Spidey tries to bond with Cap over their past nerdy lives. When I sum it up it sounds ridiculous and at times Spidey was painted as desperate but it had heart that felt genuine.



There was also a story featuring Hawkeye that had a sweet ending but was ultimately forgettable.

Overall, this was a laid back fun read not to be taken too seriously. There were plenty of laugh out loud moments but it was also strangely saccharine at times causing me to cringe.
