Art=4/5. Story/dialogue=2/5. So I'm averaging to a 3.

This book is like the equivalent of someone wearing a shirt with The Clash's "London Calling" cover on it when they've never heard a single song by the band. Imagine finding a "Top 10 Punk Things" list on a place like Buzzfeed and putting it all into one messy story, then you'll have this Spider-Punk story.

So much fun, sure its spider-man it can be predictable, but I really loved getting into this before watching into the spider-verse.

Totally maintains the heart of SM, so think the authors did a good job there. I read it digitally, but want a physical copy asap because the art is grungy and British and I loved it. Banksy eat ya heart out ;)

I can't remember the last book from the Big 2 that felt like a 5 star read to me.

This is everything I love about comic books. Hobie Brown is such a freaking cool character and this book made sure he was well rounded! He's not just a bad ass character inspired by the rebellion of punk rock stars, he's a great friend, teammate, and has emotions. He thought defeating the big bad guy (Osborn) meant Osborn's effects would just fall away and this story centers him realizing there's more to the fight.

The cast of characters was awesome! Not only were they diverse, it was cool seeing such bad ass alternate versions of Ironheart, Ms. Marvel, Cap, Daredevil, and Hulk. Honestly, Mattea was kind of my favorite and the Daredevils issue was awesome! I would love to have an animated film based on the Spider-Band because they were so much fun to watch!

Aside from this being a comic that focused on the heart of heroes fighting for the people (surprisingly this is becoming rarer from what I've heard about other releases), this comic is actually funny. The humor was well written, the characterization made me want to know more about these characters, and the character designs were fire!
