Spidey #1 by Robbie Thompson
5.0
God, it's so nice to be able to visit our superheroes before they went through big event storylines. Things were so simple...
The humor is on point, and this one seems to both update Spidey (instagram!) while acknowledging we know his story. There's no mystery here, so it looks more like a great entry point for people wanting to start - it's familiar territory and people will get a feel for the medium. The art is very cartoony, probably targetting a younger audience.
All that said, I'm not sure I'm going to follow this too closely. Read it for the nostalgia, but pass it on to your little cousin/sibling/grandparent.
