I am a fan of Dan Slott, so I like seeing where he's taking Spider-Man in this arc. Things are looking up for Peter Parker, which isn't something he can say a lot. The art was pretty good in this volume, and I am excited to see where it goes next!

Sometimes things have to fall right for our spider-friend. But just as they do a new Hobgoblin emerges and steals from Pete's new job. This is a quick read and a good transition for the Spidey-team. It is filled with promise and fun.

I'll admit... I'm not a big fan of Spidey! There, I said it!
What always bothered me the most about Spider-Man, was his line between being a witty guy and a depressive man who can only think about all the things he lost.
That being said, I'll also admit I actually enjoyed this volume.
Although it featured some villains I still think are a bit dorky (no offense Scorpio), they did a good job at making them some dangerous enemies in this story.
There were a lot of side characters I didn't know, but it still left me speechless when Peter Parker wasn't there to save one of them.
Personally, I always thought the Goblin was a nice villain because of the split personality that comes along with them. But this new Hobgoblin blew my mind. This Hobgoblin brought shizofrenia to a new level of crazy! Damn...
All by all, it was a fun story to read with a lot of potential. Especially the part of the new Venom. I really hope they will do something great with it that will have consequences for the other heroes as well.

This was my first taste of Marvel Comics. When it comes to comics, I'm primarily DC with a little Image sprinkled on the side. Marvel's just never appealed to me for whatever reason. My cousin, though, is a huge Marvel fan and he wanted to lend me a few of his graphic novels to read and Big Time was the first one.
And I actually liked it. I was very impressed with Humberto Ramos's art; I think he draws the perfect Spider-Man.
And I'm stoked for Peter! His new job is such a relief for him and I can see how it's going to affect his life for the better...unless something goes wrong. I'm proud of him.
The story as a whole was pretty good. I like this Hobgoblin. He's got a certain flair that has me wanting more. Also, when I read his dialogue, I read it in Jeff Bennett's voice. Or, rather, Jeff Bennett doing an impression of Jack Nicholson.
But yeah, I really liked it.

Back to some good stuff here!
One of the few Spider-Man comics that isn't based around Peter Parker being miserable.
Two villains feature heavily in this one, a Hobgoblin and Alestair Smythe.
Hobgoblin is the kind of bad guy I enjoy. He has actual plans and reasons for being a bad guy. Those reasons are very stupid on his part, but they make a sort of sense, at least. He's not just putting on a weird glove and then saying, "Finally I'll catch that wretched wall-crawler in a web of my own making!" while standing in a dockside warehouse somewhere.
Hey guys? If you own a dockside warehouse, I'd advise you check it out every so often. Because there's probably someone who has installed a handprint security pad that opens up a hatch into a lair of some sort.
Alestair Smythe is also back. Has there ever been a more evil sounding name than that? Alestair. Smythe. His middle name must be something like Villainington.

I've been enjoying contemporary Spidey quite a bit, and this book throws a bunch of the main U at him, which is appealing in a million different ways. Slott proves that he can be fun and serious within panels of one another.
