All in a day's work for your not-so-friendly neighborhood Sca...more

“With great power comes great responsibility.” The Spider-Man films turned that line into a cliché. Marvel’s new comic series, Scarlet Spider, gives a twist to the infamous line: “All the power, none of the responsibility.” It’s the best way to describe Kaine Parker and his alter ego, Scarlet Spider.
Scarlet Spider was first introduced in Spider Island as a flawed clone of Peter Parker, created by one of his enemies to kill Spider-Man. Parker fixed him, how...more

Christopher Yost and Ryan Stegman have done the impossible - they made the degenerate Spider-clone Kaine into a well-rounded character that is a treat to read month in and month out. As seen in the Marvel Point One issue that opens this volume, Kaine has a new lease on life - one that is nagged by that Peter Parker-esque desire to make some difference. Initially thinking of fleeing the country to live out a peaceful existence, Kaine is drawn to the city of Houston thanks to a human trafficking r...more
I'm not a big Spider-Man fan. Marvel lost my interest at the clone saga and I never got back into it. I was vaguely aware of Kain and Ben Reily but didn't care enough to pick up the comics. When I heard about the whole Spider island story line I just rolled my eyes.

"What if, now... now that I'm not dying... what if I could truly live?"
This trade collects an eight page introduction from Point One #1 and Scarlet Spider issues #1-6.
I haven't read much Spider-Man related comics in years, but I'm somewhat familiar with key happenings, intrigued by "Spider-clone" stuff (tracing back to enjoying Ben Reilly's introduction) and a fan of Yost. So I decided to give this new series starring the former assassin Kaine a shot.

A perfect version of Spider-Man for the anti-hero generation. Good story and wonderfully modern art make this a quick enjoyable read. There is still the slight feel that they are trying to figure everything out with this character and how to make him work best but there is definite potential for some great new stories in this part of the Spider-verse.
I loved the Spider Island event and that brought me to this book. It's a very good follow up and nice start for the series. I hope Kaine sticks around as a (anti-)hero for a long time.
I really liked it, what can I say. The anti-hero varient of Spider-Man. Feels good. Not much is covered in the first volume, but enough for me to definitely get the second!
My first foray into Marvel, and I am well-pleased by Kaine! The writing of his character was very appealing to me.
