This reminds me why I love Peter Parker (comic version) so much

I'm reading this event according to the official Marvel Civil War reading recommendation list as seen on their website here:

https://www.marvel.com/comics/discover/114/civil-war-the-complete-event

This collection is not listed in Marvel's reading list, which makes sense since it deals with more background characters and the repercussions of Peter unmasking. We see how the ladies in Peter's life are impacted, as well as his students and his rivals. I really liked it, but it also doesn't really further the plot of Civil War. This collection is for people who like character-driven stories more than the plot themselves. I would definitely recommend it.

For: fans of superheroes/comics; readers wanting a look at more background characters during the Civil War.

Possible red flags: characters in peril; violence; implications of sex and sexual situations; language.

So there was nothing huge happening here, but the stories were still deep and built on deepening the characters and their relationships with each other.

I still don't get Peter Parker coming out as Spider-man. But this book is pretty good if uneven. Actually the Black Cat and Aunt May bits were the best parts. In fact most of this book was people reacting to the news. MJ having coffee with Sue Richards was also pretty good. I guess perhaps the fighting isn't the part I like.

Average which is disappointing

The Chameleon and Co. storyline was interesting enough but I think there was too much Black Cat and a completely underused Puma. Aunt May and Mary Jane felt like real characters of importance and Rhino was well done. I wasn't a big fan of Spidey's iron suit suddenly disappearing but all-in-all and based mostly on its conclusion, this chapter in the Civil War saga was the best so far.

The first story in the collection (from the POV of one of Peter's students) is excellent, and the TPB would have been worth it for that alone, but there was other good stuff, too.

Unlike the Spider-Man Civil War volume, this one primarily focused on Peter Parker and the consequences of him revealing his identity.

While somewhat interesting, I do have to say it seemed extremely ridiculous that after going out on a limb for registration and Tony Stark, Peter got next to no support or protection from revealing his identity.

This also often was redundant after having read the Spider-Man Civil War volume.

Worth reading for Spider-Man fans, but honestly, not a highlight of the Civil War series.

This comic was weird and jumped around a lot.
