Perfect Spidey art, Bagley in top form! I have always liked Zardsky’s writing. It’s a fun homage to the wall crawler and interesting to do a “real-time” take on the character and mythos. 5 stars for art and ideas, but 3 overall because the characters never made sense to me. They felt off, even within the story itself, and there were several points where the narrative took a sharp turn that felt out of place. Over all a fun read with the right amount of quirk and great art.

No es una historia vainilla, en realidad tiene muchos momentos deprimentes o un tanto oscuros pero lo hermoso en ello es que Peter Parker sigue siendo él mismo y afronta las situaciones solo cómo él sabe hacerlo: siguiendo sus instintos y manteniéndose fiel a sí mismo (y a los demás). Esta historia me hizo ver porqué Spiderman es uno de los superhéroes más grandes y queridos de la historia. Se lo tiene bien merecido.

Condensing Spider-Man’s life into 6 issues is a near impossible task, but it’s done well here

I don't read much (read any) Spider man so this was an interesting way of exploring the story.

This was a pretty cool run through Peter Parker's life. There's some definite assuming that you're familiar with major events in the comics, but I still enjoyed it. Usually it was just confusing at the beginning of a new decade and orienting to what's going on. I'm kinda shocked by how shitty Peter is in his personal life, but I think it's done well. He's not really a likeable guy in his middle years, but still a hero. Like him letting Ben think he's the real Peter so he could pawn the responsibility of being Spider-man off on him and repair things with MJ was kinda a dick move.

It took 6 months to get this on other from my local chic book shop but it was worth it. My only complaint is that i wish it was longer.

Spider-Man: Life Story is a decent read but I feel the best attribute is simply the concept itself. Due to the fast pace of the book, the story choices can seem random and unexplored. But it’s full of everything you want from a Spider-Man story and all the attributes that are synonymous with the character.
