Avenging Spider-Man: My Friends Can Beat Up Your Friends by Zeb Wells

3.0

I was entertained but not blown away. The tone of this book was very light and humorous even for Spider-man. The focus of this series seems to Spider-man's relationships with other heroes, primarily other Avengers.

The main story line in this volume featured Mole Man and was actually handled in a really interesting way and even though I'm not a huge Red Hulk fan I enjoyed the team up.

I have very mixed feelings about the last issue in this volume in which Spidey tries to bond with Cap over their past nerdy lives. When I sum it up it sounds ridiculous and at times Spidey was painted as desperate but it had heart that felt genuine.



There was also a story featuring Hawkeye that had a sweet ending but was ultimately forgettable.

Overall, this was a laid back fun read not to be taken too seriously. There were plenty of laugh out loud moments but it was also strangely saccharine at times causing me to cringe.
