Spidey #1
Think you know everything about Peter Parker's early days? Think again. It's action, adventure and a rip-roaring romp in classic Marvel style as Spidey swings onto shelves this winter! Featuring adventures from throughout the web-slinging wonder's younger years, it's a return to the days of overdue homework, not knowing how to talk to girls (or anybody, really) and just plenty of danger. Witness some of Spidey's earliest tangles with the likes of Doc Ock, Sandman, and a host of other unexpected guests!

Spidey is a more modern retelling of young Spider-Man including selfies with captured villains.
Spidey #1 has a solid portrayal of Peter Parker and Spider-Man. His trademark motor mouth is set to high while he has to sneak away in order to save the day. I'm personally not interested in any new high school heroes and I don't need a new version of Spider-Man's origins, but all in all Spidey was good.

There was a lot of humorous moments, which is always a happy time, with how serious comics tend to be.

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.

November 10, 2019Spidey #1, by Robbie Thompson, is a cool book. It is about a boy named Peter Parker, who was The Amazing Spider Man. He protect the city for very mean bad guys. He took down the The Rabbit put then was late too school. If you want to know what class he was late to try reading the book. Then he went to a future place that he can work at but then a old friend of one of his bad guys shows up out of no where, want to know who it was read the first book.

Bumped up from a three to a four-star rating because of Bradshaw's art. Can't remember the last time I saw anything other than covers from him since probably reading the Wolverine and the X-Men series a few years ago. Vereh nice.

Some of the changes from the original story were unnecessary [actually changing some of the reason Spidey doesn't stop the crook that eventually kills Uncle Ben]. The artwork is unnatural in places [look at his ankles in the cover shot here].

This is one of the best drawn and entertaining comic book of Spider-Man so far other than ultimate Spider-Man: The. Clone Saga. Basically shenanigans with the most iconic Spider-Man foes. Yeet

Fun retelling of Spidey's origin in the modern age.

Back to the nostalgia of yesteryear with a modern spin! This series promises to look back at the early years of Spider-Man, but this version comes complete with social media, selfies and tongue-in cheek meta-references. I guess it really confuses me - is it a reboot, a retelling, "lost" stories, or just an excuse to put another Spider-Man book on the shelves?
It seems Marvel does this every decade or so. They publish a book about young Spider-Man that lasts for a year or so regardless of how well it's done or not. This book is more of that. It doesn't cover any really new ground and the characters are pretty much what you'd expect - but Gwen Stacy is more of an ass-kicker than just a popular girl.
Certainly we've all seen some variation of the Spidey vs. Doc Ock story, and it plays out just fine. Nothing startling or original, but still fun. Norman Osborn and Oscorp are played as you would expect as well. In fact, this issue almost seemed like an adaptation of the sequences from the first two Sam Raimi/Tobey Maguire Spider-Man movies.
The artwork is really nice and fits the book well. Reminds me a bit of Humberto Ramos, but not quite as exaggerated. Nice action panels as well, with ghosted images showing Spidey hopping around fast and crazy.
The narration is all first person done by Peter himself. Honestly, I thought some of the most witty lines were in the narration and had me giggling a couple of times. I enjoyed the voice that Thompson gives to Peter here and I can pretty well hear Drake Bell from the current cartoon series reciting it all as dialogue.
Overall this was a fun update and a nice nostalgic trip down memory lane.

Seeing a reboot of Spider-man in a less serious tone, and to be honest, in a more human tone than the original, is surprisingly well done. They tweak things, but not to the point where he isn't Spider-man. Calling him Spidey feels much more humble to me, and in that way it makes him seem more human. The artwork is great, the original cover is great, and the story, although the same origin story we have heard before, just condensed, is also great. It's Spider-man for this generation, which between him and Miles Morales, I am so happy to be a Spider-man fan right now. Not to mention this will nix a lot of the garbage Spider-man has been put through. (If you want to know what I'm talking about, read any of the clone saga or One More Day.

Solid, simple updating of the 'classic' style of Spiderman storytelling, which, if nothing, else serves to point out what a wasted, empty opportunity of a character Miles Morales is-- everything about him is just a simple Peter Parker reboot with some naff modernity added to try to make him relevant, when the core character of Parker is so solid, so adaptable, and so beloved that you'd think Marvel would learn to stop parading an endless parade of pale Morales/Ben Reilly/SpiderGwen/whatevers and just tell his stories well.

I liked how this Peter looked in another comic so I picked this one up in hopes it was still the same Peter. It is lol. I really like the humor in this one. It definitely reminds me a little bit of Tom Holland.

Ok so look. We all know the story of spider man by now. This comic book character has been rebooted, reborn, and restarted more times than there are fruit cakes for christmas presents.
I just have to believe that every child in the world knows the spidey story. So what is the point in rebooting it yet again? Who is the target audience? It isn't me and I'm a huge Spidey fan.

Spiderman recupera sus raíces más Archie y presenta una historia que, a pesar de tener todos los elementos que hacen grandes la mitología de Spiderman (Gwen, Flash, Ocktopus, los Osborn...) te deja un poco frío. El dibujo de Bradshaw también parece un poco desganado, como de un Campbell de segunda.

Marvel'ın nihayet tekrar klasik spideye yer vermesi güzel ama sanki ilk sayı biraz sönük Ultimate spidey'nin yanına yaklaşamamış
