Spider-Man: Life Story by Chip Zdarsky
3.0
The first was the strongest for me, placing Spidey in the Vietnam War and how he would respond to it, to Flash and Harry, MJ, Gwen. I liked how it played with the timeline and how the major events corresponded with him in different places as he aged. But I'll never be a fan of clones and playing with that, and they made MJ take a route I didn't absolutely love. She was more there to propel Peter's travesty and never seemed to be consistent.
The parts that really hit me was the protests, Flash's death and Captain America fighting for those on both sides, his conversation with Peter in the 60s about responsibility and fighting two wars. Him calling him 'son' when they were both old men.
I've read through the first year of Spiderman and haven't read the later ones (I'm roughly familiar with the plot points) so it makes sense that I would have a bias toward 60s storyline. But I would have absolutely loved to see ore Jonah throughout, and what happened to Gwen (c), and have seen more of actual Miles.
