Written by Robbie Thompson (former writer of CW's Supernatural and current author of Silk), Spidey is an ongoing comic going back to Peter Parker's high school days. There's not much of a plot, per se, but rather this series functions similar to the cartoon The Spectacular Spider-Man. Each issue has Spider-Man facing off with a different villain with subtle hints at a bigger villain that will come in later, this volume containing Doctor Octopus, Doctor Doom, the Green Goblin, and more. On top these supervillain debacles, Peter has to balance his priorities with high school as well as finding a way to make money.

This was very cute! The art is colorful and fun and the stories are simple and enough in line with the MCU that young readers wouldn't get jarred by differences. I especially loved the appearances by Black Panther and Iron Man (Peter asking Tony for dating advice was so cute). I deducted a star because the editing on this series seems inconsistent--"Stacy" and "Stacey" are used interchangeably, there are some sentences that don't make sense because of errors ("patrol" is used instead of "patrolling" which makes the entire sentence incomprehensible), and sometimes they seem to flat-out forget certain story beats. There's a point in this first volume where Peter says at least the Bugle credited him for a photo he took and an entire panel focuses on his byline, and then a few issues later Jameson is insisting they never credit photographers. Similarly, in that issue Peter is broke when he needs to buy a present for Aunt May's birthday--I know chronic money worries are always a thing with Peter, but it's been established earlier in the series that Norman is paying Peter very handsomely to tutor Harry, and that does not come up as frequently as one would think/is forgotten about when needed. (Speaking of Harry, he exists to pop up here and there for a few panels.) Overall, minor editing errors aside, this is a really cute all ages series that made for a fun read for my grownup Spider-Man loving self.

I really enjoyed this. I love me some saucy, sarcastic Peter Parker, and I got that and then some. I mean, this run isn't mind-blowingly amazing, but it's fun and includes a lot of the different baddies. Also, it never talks down to the reader with a lot of backstory, which I love.

I freaking loved this. It takes me back to what I loved about spider-man when I was a kid.

Good art and funny jokes, but this was just another semi-reboot to designed to introduce 'the kidz' to the comic world of Spider-man. Nothing new for me here.

This was a fun all ages comic that did exactly what I needed it to: give me a team up with Iron Man that is adorable. Loved it!
