Story - 3 stars, with an extra .5 for the illustrations.
Adapted from the comics, “Great Responsibility” is a retelling of the Spider-Man origin storyline. It reminds me a lot of the “Marvel: Origins” series - given the cover difference between here and the ebook page, hopefully this is the right book… 😅
It’s a good retelling. The text was well written and interesting. It’s not too simplistic, so an older child reading on their own would find it as interesting as a younger child being read to. The storyline follows some of the classic origin story every Spidey fan Knows and loves, as well as details newer fans may not be familiar with (I’m not sure how many fans of the movies would be familiar with original-Spideys’ wrestling aspirations, for instance). More than Spideys’ origins, however, this book focuses specifically on the origin of why> Spidey feels the need to go out and fight crime - the lessons taught by his Uncle Ben, and reinforced by his Uncles’ death.
The illustrations are well done, similar to those I see often in books illustrated by the Disney Storybook Team (a style I like). Not too cartoonish, and reminds me a bit of some vintage illustrations I’ve seen.
