Spider-Punk: Battle of the Banned by Cody Ziglar

5.0

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!
