This is a story about Spider-Man but he is in a completely different place from his friendly neighbourhood.
He is the CEO of Parker Industries. He has spidey-cars and rockets and concrete webs and shocking webs and space suits and underwater suits. He is a knock-off Iron Man basically. He is also working closely with Nick Fury, Mockingbird and Shield. This is out of the usual range of Spider-Man's friendship group.
The story here is absolutely brilliant. Peter has to juggle Parker Industries, being in Shanghai, San Francisco, London and New York and fighting Zodiac (and Mr Negative for a short bit).
Zodiac are really interesting villains as they start of sort of cheesy and become more and more threatening throughout. We learn how they end up being ahead of Peter the whole time, and it is a really cool idea. The sub plot with Mr Negative is also really cool as I don't have much experience of him. We also have looming threats of whomever is putting the Sinister Six back together and also Doc Ock trapped inside the machine.
The art is incredible as well. Lots of different environments and settings and it just looks amazing.

3.5 stars. i enjoyed this but not the way i enjoyed other spider comics. tbh the reason i couldn’t enjoy this more is because i’m too dumb and i lost track of the things that were going on. also, i didn’t get certain references because i’m new to reading marvel. that said, i was able to enjoy this a bit because the main plot was understandable even for me. what makes this 3.5 is my love for peter parker and his funny ass.

I read it in a translanted in greek version. It was so good. The illustrations were amazing like the story. I wish I had read a a story with a younger Spider-Man because is one of my favourite characters. For this reason I wish to read more adventures of Peter Parker as Spider-Man.

This more than fixes the problem of this series' previous incarnation. It is a delight to see Peter Parker not be a dopey schmoe, but someone who has used the experience of his mind-swap with Doctor Octopus and his various failures in his personal and superhero life to inform his decisions, rather than drive them. While the scope of Parker Industries might be a little wide, I do really like allowing Peter to evolve in how he handles his responsibility. Its less neurotic, less ashamed, and while I am in distinct fear of Marvel simply reverting back to type, I do enjoy seeing the character's popularity in real life to spill over into the comic that inspires it.
This feels right. Now, let's to work on that Spider-Marriage, okay guys?
