Spidey, Volume 1: First Day by Robbie Thompson
3.0
This is downright in the middle for me. It's not great, it's not bad, it's just OKAY. I'd give this a 2.5 but since I'm feeling nice (And I love my Spidey) I'll be giving this a 3. However, I wish it was better than it was.
What I liked: Going through different villains is a easy way to get caught up with Peter. I also think the artstyle is simple but works well. Almost a throwback for modern day. I also enjoyed the relationship with Aunt May and Gwen here and made it slightly different but it worked.
What I didn't like: Basically volume was is a big highlight reel. Every issue is just Peter beating the bad guy, usually pretty easily. No worry or stakes here. Just Saturday cartoon fun, which is good for newcomers, but kind of lame for us. Also Harry and Norman weren't not very well done if you ask me. Even their relationship seemed off.
Overall this is a book you might enjoy more if you never read Spider-man. It's not horrible but honestly I'd suggest Ultimate Spider-man far more. I'ma go with a 2.5 out of 5.
