The Amazing Spider-Man: Worldwide, Vol. 1 by Dan Slott

5.0

This is a story about Spider-Man but he is in a completely different place from his friendly neighbourhood.

He is the CEO of Parker Industries. He has spidey-cars and rockets and concrete webs and shocking webs and space suits and underwater suits. He is a knock-off Iron Man basically. He is also working closely with Nick Fury, Mockingbird and Shield. This is out of the usual range of Spider-Man's friendship group.

The story here is absolutely brilliant. Peter has to juggle Parker Industries, being in Shanghai, San Francisco, London and New York and fighting Zodiac (and Mr Negative for a short bit).

Zodiac are really interesting villains as they start of sort of cheesy and become more and more threatening throughout. We learn how they end up being ahead of Peter the whole time, and it is a really cool idea. The sub plot with Mr Negative is also really cool as I don't have much experience of him. We also have looming threats of whomever is putting the Sinister Six back together and also Doc Ock trapped inside the machine.

The art is incredible as well. Lots of different environments and settings and it just looks amazing.
