13 years of reading spiderman comics and none have grabbed me as much as this. Hard to form words about how well nuanced the dialogue is and how much of a breath of fresh air this is from the dredging, eternal shitstorm that is ASM. Amazing read (pun intended)

While it hinges on convoluted reboot lore prefaced in a prologue scrawl that may scare those wary of comic trope, Hickman provides the foundation for what can become an engrossing Spiderman run - the onus of choice in regards to the power of Spidey and where responsibility lands now inverted. Responsibility can still be a theme, the script flipped but focus still on Peter, now with a children, family, and a living Uncle Ben. Peter moves very little in this #1, but what happens with Ben and JJJ is a promise that Hickman has a plan.
