Wow...this was great. Tom Taylor was just what Spider-Man needed.

So in first 5 pages you get a near perfect spiderman scene that captures everything about him. The humor, the style, even the heart. The rest of issue focuses mostly on Peter, his roommate situation, and a new character who is being hunted.

There's a extra 6 or 7 pages added that will also hit ya in the heart.

Overall, I hardly read issues 1 but had to for this one. Tom Taylor hits it out of the park. I can't wait for volume 1!!!

Final a modern Spider-Man comic I actually enjoyed somewhat. Going to give this title a shot, so far it's not bad. The story with Aunt May at the end was good, I like the potential of what it could do to Peter.

My first issue this year! And also my first time reading superhero comics.
This was really fun, I wonder why I've never read read superhero comics before. I love Spider-Man, he's my second favorite superhero in Marvel (The first is Daredevil) and the friendly neighborhood one is connected to Tom Holland whom I love as well.

I can't wait for the next issue, the last panel needs some explaining.

This is a precious comic for Spider-Man and pretty clean for anyone who wants to read a Spider-Man comic but doesn't want to read anything too dark.
So many feelings and gets at the heart of what Spider-Man does. Other characters from the superhero universe show up too, and those cameos are fun.

When I first saw that there was another new Spider-Man series coming out…I MAY have rolled my eyes and thought (loudly) to myself “another Spider-Man series?! But we have so many! And they’re so good!”
But then I took some time to think about it. The other series ARE good, so there’s no reason to assume that this one won’t be. The title is pretty cute and quippy. And I like the author. And to top it off, I like Peter Parker, so I was willing to give the second series for him a try.
I’m really glad I did, too. I absolutely loved the first issue of Friendly Neighborhood Spider-man. It was fun, it fits in with the timeline of the other series (something that would have driven me nuts otherwise, so yay!) and it was Peter Parker at his best.
It’s probably too soon to say this, but I think Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man has a good chance of becoming my favorite Peter Parker series (I love Spider-Gwen too much so say it’d be my favorite spider series, sorry!). I can see the potential at least, and there’s a lot of it.

I'm always iffy when it comes to starting a new Spider-Man comic, because there have been so many! Peter Parker is a name that most people recognize, and there are certain expectations when it comes to his character. Spider-Man has been portrayed in numerous ways over the years, and I'm often pleasantly surprised with how they keep his comic relevant to what's happening in the world today. He's a down-to-earth superhero that people can relate to, and he deals with problems in his personal life as well. The world might appreciate what he does with a mask on (for the most part), but he's often underappreciated as a person. No one realizes what he has to sacrifice in order to be the Spider-Man we know and love.

So what made me want to read this comic? Tom Taylor. I loved his All-New Wolverine series and the new character he created -- Gabby! She's also known as Honey Badger, which is absolutely perfect for her. Oh, and Jonathan! He's the best. I enjoyed Taylor's writing and the way he told a story, so I was excited to see his spin on Spider-Man.

I can happily say that I'm already invested in this series and what's happening in Peter's life. I think it's hilarious that he's currently having issues with his neighbors, since he's the Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man. Well played, Tom Taylor, well played. Also, the appearance of Johnny Storm was surprising, but totally worked for this story. He's just as ridiculous as Spider-Man, and I can see how the two became friends. I'm looking forward to seeing what happens next!
