This should be the kind of comic I love—take memorable comic moments and slow them down in order to make more realistic characters, thereby enriching the power of the story. Perfect, right? Maybe I was in the wrong mood. January during pandemic. DNF.

The Peter Parker/Gwen Stacy story is just heartbreaking. With that in mind, the story was well done. More, please :)

I wanted to read something tragic and I figured the death of Gwen Stacy would do the trick, however this doesn't actually show her dying (although Peter is narrating after her death so it's still pretty tragic but I could have used more tragedy is all).
I reviewed this way back in the day but I liked it more this time around so I'll post it again.
This is the early days of Peter Parker. When he was trying to get with Gwen, and MJ came into his life. A lot of this focuses on Peter's everyday life with his Aunt, the girls, his friends, and of course being Spider-man. It's almost a slice of life, with some action put in. The kicker is the ending which comes full circle and really works well. The art is great, and MJ and Gwen are knockouts, as well as Spider-Man looking fantastic. Overall it's a laid back, kind of BLUE feeling to this book, that makes it worth reading for ANY Spidy fan.

For all you Spidey fans out there, Blue is a love letter to the classic Spider-Man tales by Lee, Ditko, and Romera, highlighting the time when both Gwen Stacy and Mary Jane Watson entered the life of Peter Parker. Told in the form of flashbacks as Peter recalls these defining moments in his young life, they make for a beautiful story.
My only dislike is the artistic style. It’s very classic, which may be nice for some but was off putting for me mostly because of character design inconsistencies and the fact that I hate (I mean HATE) the classic Harry Osborne look. Drives me nuts. Sorry, just me.

Story was boring, same old story of Spider-Man fighting the same villains, talking about Gwen Stacy's death etc etc. I just came here for Tim Sale's art
