I think I enjoy the Tinkerer story better, but that's probably just because I'm interested in the alien race featured in it.

A great continuation of the first volume!
I mean like I can’t say anything bad. THIS IS SPIDER-MAN. 1963 SPIDER-MAN. Sure if I saw this today I’d be crying for how bad it is but no. I am now crying for how GOOD THIS IS!

So I think I enjoyed this a lot more than the first issue and I think it’s because Peter seems to use his head more in this issue than in the first. It’s amazing to see three different sides to Peter Parker. There’s internal Peter, vocal Peter that we see in dialogue, and Peter as Spider-Man. They are definitely three different voices and it’s interesting to see them at play. I think that his internal voice annoys me just a little because it’s full of so much doubt. His confidence really shines through when he becomes Spider-Man!
This issue is separated into to two stories and I think each has its good and bad aspects. In the first story we see Spider-Man battle the Vulture who has the weird ability to fly and outsmart the police. I wasn’t as invested in the Vulture as a villain as I was in Peters ability to outsmart JJ and get money to help his aunt. I thought he was so foolish about it in the first issue. I also liked that I saw Peter stand up to those bullies in school. Usually I would have made the assumption that he would just cower down to them but in this case he didn’t. In the second story Spider-Man faces the Tinkerer who may or may not be an alien. I was definitely more invested in the narrative of the villain in this story than the first. I think this second story is also a clear illustration of the obsession America had with aliens, science, and space travel during that time. Both were interesting and well-written.
For some reason it felt like Ditko’s art improved. There were still some areas that appeared a little clunky but for the most part he did a good job. Has anyone noticed that he seems to have an aversion to drawing eyes? HAHA everyone either had really small eyes or no eyes at all.
Can’t wait to dive into issue #3!
