The Amazing Spider-Man: Worldwide
The Amazing Spider-Man: Worldwide, Vol. 3
Collects Amazing Spider-Man (2015) #12-15 and material from Amazing Spider-Man (2015) #1, plus the classic Amazing Spider-Man Annual (1964) #19.
Regent, one of the most dangerous threats from Battleworld, makes his power play in the Marvel Universe! And it'll take the combined efforts of Peter Parker, Miles Morales, Iron Man and the rest of the All-New All-Different Avengers to have any hope of stopping him when his true intentions become known! But recently, web-head and shell-head have been butting heads — and it may well be that their conflict is what's opening the door for Regent to begin his assault on Earth's Mightiest Heroes! And since the villain's modus operandi includes imprisoning them and stealing their powers, that's seriously bad news! But could it be that a certain redheaded mutual acquaintance of Peter and Tony will be the key to foiling Regent's plans?

Peter Parker comes back to NYC for a charity event and finds out Mary Jane is now working for Tony Stark. Plus, Regent makes his debut in the regular Marvel U.
This is maybe the first Dan Slott, Spidey story I didn't like. All the infighting between Pete and Tony Stark felt juvenile instead of funny. Plus, way too much awkwardness with Mary Jane. And then all the retconning that had to be explained from when MJ and Pete were together bored me to tears. It feels so hollow. I think Marvel is better off not going into specifics about how their relationship was revised. That history was erased, so let's just let MJ and Pete move on with their lives.
The Regent story felt like a complete rehash of the Secret Wars story. Regent pretty much immediately becomes more evil than the guys he's trying to stop. The story would have played out better if we saw a slow slide through necessary evils. But Regent is all "Oh, you know the truth. Now you have to die for the greater good of me stealing everyone's powers." It rings very hollow.

Fun, tension-building and a Spidey-focused take on how to make best use of villain powers.
The silly fights with Tony Stark I could do without, but they were believably Stark-arrogant *and* a convenient way to give the heroes a reason to feel bad and work together later.
MJ gets the best play though - and seeing old Spidey plot points come back - *and* see how One More Day still haunts Pete and MJ - that was a nice minor reward for those of us who’ve stuck it out this long.
Marvel editorial included an ancient 89’s Spidey tale that parallels MJ’s adventures here, and it’s a stellar example of how much I think writing has improved since that time. Not only was there a whole lotta inner monologuing, but it was very soap opera-esque (“oh dear, it’s all my fault my phobia of committed relationships caused Peter to close himself off from me - whatever shall I do?”).
However, the same maudlin, weepy MJ turns out to be a master manipulator of Alaistair “pervy” Smythe and seems to have no fear - even enjoying going for a ride across town in a crappy, hacked-together Spider Slayer.

MJ's working for Tony Stark! Miles Morales and Iron Man guest! And Regent makes a huge splash. Can Iron Man, Spider-Man, Harry Lyman and Iron Spider (!) bring down Regent? Best volume of this 'Worldwide' season so far - 7 out of 12
July 25, 2021
This was another fun one and is mostly the team up of Spidey and Iron man as they first take down the Ghost and then when other heroes get kidnapped and Peter's friends then he has to step up and rescue his friends and defeat this new hero turned villain Regent who has been taking their powers and in the process also befriend Tony and defeat him and save his friends and realize an important thing until someone close to him suffers badly. And then there is an annual I skipped.
Its a fun little volume and has some great things for Spidey as he realizes the importance of family and finally some team up with Iron man and its fun to see their dynamic and the return of MJ and the drama that it brings. I really enjoyed the art. The annual could have been skipped but then again it wouldn't be Marvel without including unnecessary things in TPBs. Anyways good fun volume and sets up the next big story arc really very well.

Basically a retelling of Amazing Spider-Man: Renew Your Vows. Why? I don't know. On the bright side, this was actually the better book for me.

Dan Slott (with Christos Gage) uses a brand-new villain to good effect, bringing not only the supporting cast out, but Iron Man and Mary Jane Watson in a new light. Harry Osborne gets to shine! And I am really liking art by Camuncoli.
And there is a nice reprint - also focusing upon MJ - from a 1985 Spider-Man Annual, script by Louise Simonson, with art by the great Mary Wilshire, that makes me wish for a better ink job.
Recommended.

These Worldwide books start out so good, but then get ridiculous near the end. Great writing I guess because I was enjoying it until the bad ending, and Marvel please stop using fillers.

Wow, was this extraordinarily bland.
To start off with, Mary Jane is working for Tony Stark, which I believe is due to Bendis. While that does create some fodder for Peter and MJ's "relationship" I don't think that's why Bendis did it, but Slott uses it to his advantage. Also, Iron Man's new armor is horrendous looking; doesn't even look like armor. And Tony seems to be even more of a dweeb here.
The main point of this trade is the new villain Regent makes his move and he's really just a new version of the Super Adaptoid. And Slott, even though you say that in the story, you are still just copying the idea and didn't really bring anything new to it other than give Regent a very thin but overused reason for what he's doing.
The last page also throws in a shocker, which I'm sure will drive the next few issues. If you can't tell by now, I've grown weary of the Slott "formula" and eagerly await someone new on this title. I also wonder just how long Spidey will keep this new tech costume. It seems as if it will be very hard to go back to a "regular" costume after having all of these technological advantages.
This trade also includes an old Amazing Spider-Man annual which I didn't finish.

Wasnt impressed with this story. The dialogue between Iron man and spidey was just cliched cheesy and annoying. Hopefully Slott picks up his game. I feel like the most recent stories have become a little too simple and filler.

1.5 Stars
I have loved the Spider-Man mythos since I was a kid and because of that I have read a lot, I mean A LOT, of Spidy. One might think that perhaps because I care for the characters I might hold unreasonable expectations but I do not expect much more than an entertaining tale that makes some sort of sense (even if it's only spider).
As a result I have read just as many stories over the years that were not-so-great, as were great... this book, sadly, falls into the former category. Which is unfortunate, since author Dan Slott has done a pretty good job with much of his decade long Spider-Man run.
Why was this books such a disappointment... some of it has to do with MARVEL directives and some of it has to do with the story:
A huge part of this collection seems to be the introduction of super-villain Regent into the 616 Universe, AKA the core MARVEL universe. However, Regent is really just a human version of the Super Adaptoid (something even the characters point out).
The reason Regent needs this introduction is because he was a character in a semi-fun WHAT IF... story which came out during the Secret Wars / Battleworld / Warzones! event - Amazing Spider-Man: Renew Your Vows.
In that story a married MJ and Peter, along with their daughter, live in a police state world where Regent rules [BTW when someone's super name means, a person who administer a country because it's leader is absent or incapacitated. He's a bad guy! Just sayin'] and together the Spider Family must stop him... or whatever.
Cramming that into this volume is what caused it to seem even more derivative than it should have (I mean come on, it's a hero comic - derivative is almost always on the table but that JUST HAPPENED)... on top of which we had to deal with some Brian Michael Bendis IRON MAN nonsense that has MJ as his assistant (because running a night club that burnt down twice and being a model/actress totally qualifiers her for that job).
Sadly those were not even the worst parts of this book.
All that being as it is this was not the worst Spider-Man story I've ever read [despite my rating]. Indeed there are some moments, like bringing together Peter, MJ, Harry and Betty Brant for some scooby gang moments, that are a good time. But those are too few and far between.
I would hesitate to recommend this book, especially if you've read Renew Your Vows because I found it to be a waste of time. If you're coming at it totally new you might like it... but I wouldn't hold your breath.

This third volume of this Spider-Man run sees Spidey and Iron Man fight Regent. Regent is a massive guy who hates all powered people, be they heroes or villains. So he decides to capture everyone with powers and steal their powers in order to do this.
There is a big problem in that we've seen this story before. During the Secret Wars event the Spider-Man tie-in, Renew Your Vows, saw a version of Spider-Man, his wife Mary Jane and their daughter fight Regent. The overall concept here is the same and that's frustrating. This is not the first main series to copy the storyline of it's Secret War tie-in and I can't see the point of it.
At least here there is a big difference in that the relationship between Peter Parker and Mary Jane is much more complicated. They split up and haven't even see each other in ages and now Mary Jane is working with Tony Stark. This, and CEO rivalry, sees Spider-Man and Iron Man spend much of the story at each other's throats, quite literally. It's always fun to see superheroes fighting each other and not something we tend to see that often these days (apart from Civil War II of course).
What I liked most about this story is the way it brings back Peter Parker's school friends. Mary Jane, Harry Osbourn and Betty Brant all appear. Slott has moved Spider-Man on such a long way but it's nice to see how the origins still remain. There was a lot of relationship stuff here and it was heart-breaking to see the three friends not inviting Peter to their get-together- he ends up messing everything up! I suppose all this sets the scene for the upcoming Dead No More storyline when Peter's past will come back to haunt him.
Also included here is a tiny Regent teaser from the first issue of this run, which is little more than a set-up and I felt it really ought to have been at the front of this collection where it falls chronologically. The bonus issue included here is Amazing Spider-Man Annual #19, where the Spider Slayer captures Mary Jane in the hope of luring Spider-Man and then thinks that Mary Jane is actually Spider-Man. I always enjoy these older issues and this is one I've not read before so it was a good addition.
In itself this was actually a good collection but it's let down by the fact we've already seen the main plot before. If the Secret Wars Renew Your Vows story hadn't have existed this would have been amazing.

This was... meh. First, Tony and Peter behave like children, then Regent somehow captures everybody except the two of them when nobody was looking, then Mary Jane puts on the Iron Spider costume and saves the day. Frankly, Regent goes down way too easily, and I have a lot of questions about the cosmic shenanigans that are going on (how and why are Peter, MJ, and Regent almost remembering Battleworld? how and why does Tony not remember that Spidey and Peter are the same guy when they all lived in Avengers Tower together?). So yeah, not as fun as the first two.

2.5 stars
"Hey remember when we told that Regent story in Secret Wars: Renew Your Vows last year? Well we're telling it again, except making it canon this time. That makes it an original and interesting story right?"
Like the majority of Marvel stuff post Secret Wars there are great moments in this book, but the overall story is a miss and in this case (as with the current Civil War II event) it's quite derivative. At least they waited a decade to revisit Civil War.

I might have sprung for a fourth star if this volume didn't recycle so much junk. There's only 4 issues of current Spider-Man here, plus a flashback to the first appearance of Regent and an old annual that focuses on Mary Jane. The story is good enough, though Regent seems like kind of a lazy creation--he's got some sort of suit that allows him to usurp other heroes' (and villains') powers and he wants to end the "threat" of superpowers or something because he lost his family, and thus and so and blah, blah, blah. You know what? I think 3 stars is just about right for this mish-mash.
Read
April 18, 2017An underwhelming volume, which opens with Parker and Tony Stark in an extended, unedifying pissing contest. I think it's intended to spoof hero versus hero stories, but it comes across as part of the problem more than a commentary thereon. This segues into the mainstream Marvel U debut of Secret Wars: Renew Your Vows villain Regent, who still doesn't feel remotely interesting or novel enough to bear the weight he's meant to.
May 31, 2021
I liked the book because i got to see how iron man and spiderman reacted towards each other and I liked the villain I didn't like the end though because they brought back a old look and I didn't like how it was.
December 27, 2023
Regent has a point but he went too far in its execution. MJ is a piece to be passed around.

Fun story with Iron Man and some of the Spider-Man characters all coming together.

Regent was pretty crap and filler? Take a pass.
December 10, 2016
I have to be completely honest I feel like Dan Slott's new crop of Spider-man tales have been just plain mediocre. This is sad because the artwork by Giuseppe Camuncoli , Cam Smith, and Marte Gracia is beautiful. This book feels like your run of the mill Spider-man books. This not to say that Spidey fans will not find anything to love. The characters are being fleshed out well and the plot moves at a pretty steady pace. It just that this plot has been told before and the build up of Regent could have been something much grand. I like the Regent villain concept but just felt like this arc was a bit rushed. I am not bashing Dan Slott as a writer after all he gave us Spider-Verse, The Superior Spider-Man, Vol. 1: My Own Worst Enemy, and Spider-Man: Dying Wish. I just feel like it may be time for Marvel to bring someone new in to write The Amazing Spiderman series. Jeff Lemire, Jason Aaron, and Mark Waid are a few suggestions.
January 16, 2017
A bit better than the first two volumes, and while Regent is a cool concept for a villain, it still felt like a lot of deja vu from the secret wars' renew your vows. Spidey and iron man fighting and competing like children was embarrassing and didn't feel true to Peter Parker's character. I don't feel like he would take stark's bait like that.
May 30, 2018
After the last volume this one was a big disappointment. I was so fucking bored.
September 28, 2023
I borrowed this book from my local library.
You can almost hear Dan Slott yawning, as his boredom with the character is palpable. The Peter Parker/Tony Stark/Mary Jane Watson love triangle is uninteresting and unbelievable. Spider-Man has always had a soap opera aspect to it, but the CEOs duking it out for the girl next door turned supermodel angle is absurd.
This set-up brings us an attack from The Ghost, an Iron Man foe, lending credibility to my theory of Slott's boredom with writing Spider-Man. He has since been sent packing and is the writer of Iron Man now. This is a stopgap where we get to the meat of this arc. The revelation of the identity and motivation of Regent which has been brewing since #1 in this new series.
The battle with Regent was enjoyable, it's just the backdrop of how we got there that made me groan. CEO Peter Parker will never sit well with me. The book ends with a potentially tragic episode with a member of the supporting cast whom I won't name.
The inclusion of Annual #19 was a nonsensical case of padding the page count. Okay, so Mary Jane was the Iron Spider in this story for a minute. That has nothing to do with Annual #19, where she was mistaken for Spider-Man. The story in and of itself is passable enough, although I remember hating it as a 12 year old kid who bought it off of the spinner rack at 7-11. This story has been reprinted recently in two other books, so it's double dip city for the faithful. The creators are not listed in the table of contents either, although the original issue credits are intact.
The back-up story that introduced Regent in Volume 1 from Issue 1 is included here. While the inclusion makes sense, it is also a double dip for anyone who bought Vol. 1 in this line of books.
The “next issue” blub...Before Dead No More Begins Next! We have preludes to events. It's a long-winded way to milk it, isn't it? Kind of like Slott's endless Twitter tantrums of yore.

Čtenářská výzva na Goodreads 2018 (33/205)
Já zatím pořádně nevím, co si o třetí knize Slottova Spider-Mana mám myslet. Ve výsledku se sice jedná o převyprávění série Amazing Spider-Man: Renew Your Vows, kterou já osobně moc nemusím a podle mého názoru mohla dopadnout podstatně lépe, ale i tak mám pocit, že to Slott spolu s posilou v podobě Christose Cage nenapsal špatně. Rozhodně to je lepší jak předchozí kniha, která byla svou úrovní kvality vysoce průměrná, ve výsledku rovněž šíleně nezajímavá a místy i nudná tak moc, že jsem ji v jednu chvíli vůbec nechtěl dočíst. Tady jsem se ovšem místy hodně bavil.
Jistě, mám s touto řadou pořád nějaké drobné problémy. Regent jako záporák mi tady sice přišel o něco zajímavější, než v Renew Your Vows, ale stále mě nedokázal výrazněji uchvátit. I celá ta linka okolo rivality Petera Parkera a Tonyho Starka působila docela podivně (někdy mi dokonce přišlo jako kdyby autoři chtěli co nejvíce porušit podstatu obou dvou hrdinů), ale jinak to hrozné není. Spider-Man je tady skvělý, kresba není špatná (místy jde poznat malé zlepšení) a vedlejší postavy, mezi nimiž je například Harry Osborn nebo Mary Jane Watsonová, jsou opravdu skvělé, což je jedině dobře. Navíc, většinu z vás určitě potěší obrovská absence linie okolo firmy Parker Industries a potěší vás větší soustředění na klasickou Spider-Manovskou akci, která je pro tohoto hrdinu typická.
Po dočtení jsem byl na vážkách, protože mi nebylo v hlavě stoprocentně jasné, zda mám tomuto svazku udělit 3 nebo 4 hvězdy. Nakonec musím dát pouze 3, jelikož i přesto, že celý komiks byl zábavný a čtivý, se jedná pouze o dobrý komiks, z kterého mohli autoři vytěžit podstatně více. Není to špatné, ale není to taktéž žádný převratný zázrak.
3/5 (65%)

I celá ta linka okolo rivality Petera Parkera a Tonyho Starka působila docela podivně (někdy mi dokonce přišlo jako kdyby autoři chtěli co nejvíce porušit podstatu obou dvou hrdinů), ale jinak to hrozné není. Spider-Man je tady skvělý, kresba není špatná (místy jde poznat malé zlepšení) a vedlejší postavy, mezi nimiž je například Harry Osborn nebo Mary Jane Watsonová, jsou opravdu skvělé, což je jedině dobře. Navíc, většinu z vás určitě potěší obrovská absence linie okolo firmy Parker Industries a potěší vás větší soustředění na klasickou Spider-Manovskou akci, která je pro tohoto hrdinu typická.
Po dočtení jsem byl na vážkách, protože mi nebylo v hlavě stoprocentně jasné, zda mám tomuto svazku udělit 3 nebo 4 hvězdy. Nakonec musím dát pouze 3, jelikož i přesto, že celý komiks byl zábavný a čtivý, se jedná pouze o dobrý komiks, z kterého mohli autoři vytěžit podstatně více. Není to špatné, ale není to taktéž žádný převratný zázrak.

Dan Slott and Giuseppe Camuncoli take Spider-Man into conflict with Iron Man and Regent in this third volume of the Worldwide relaunch. A charity fundraiser brings Peter Parker back in touch with his old flame Mary Jane Watson - who is currently working for Tony Stark. When the Ghost attacks the event, a clash of egos emerges as Spider-Man and Iron Man each attempt to subdue the villain. Things get even more intense when their rivalry leads to Miles Morales being abducted by the mysterious Regent, who adds Miles's powers to his vast collection of imprisoned superhumans. Teaming up to stop the former Secret Wars foe, Spider-Man still needs a timely assist from Mary Jane in the Iron Spider costume to help free the prisoners and save the day. The volume concludes with a look at Regent's first appearance in the main Marvel universe, and a classic Spider-Man tale featuring Alistair Smythe mistaking MJ for Spider-Man. Slott's third volume seems short-shifted, as he squeezes in a new CEO rivalry, the return of classic Spidey supporting cast members, a host of hero cameos, and a remnant from the last Marvel event all into the span of a few issues. His MJ is the highlight of the arc, finally giving her a chance to shine in all aspects. The dynamic pencils from Camuncoli continues to elevate this book, with both clean lines and energetic poses taking center stage. Worldwide takes a dip as it returns to home turf, but Spider-Man's all-new status quo continues generating interest.

Lo único que me gustó del volumen fue el fan service con Mary Jane. El resto del volumen me decepcionó bastante. Los diálogos son infantiles y sosos, en especial los de Harry Osborn. La trama de Regent y en sí él como villano, no tenía el dramatismo ni el nivel de peligro que el autor quería que creyeras que tenía.
En este volumen vemos a Regent secuestrar héroes y villanos, encerrarlos en una maxi prisión y robarles los poderes para usarlos él mismo. Lamentablemente no se ve nada creíble que haya robado los poderes de los vengadores y demás héroes y nadie más que Peter y Tony se hayan dado cuenta.
Hubo algunas escenas divertidas, en especial en las que podemos ver a Peter interactuar con Tony. Sus celos y discusiones me parecen muy entretenidas pero de ahí en fuera creo que no hay nada más en este volumen que lo haga destacar o especial. Entiendo que el siguiente volumen empieza con Dead no More y Clone Conspiracy, dos de los arcos más esperados de Spiderman de los últimos años; pero no es excusa para presentar un volumen débil anterior a esos.
El arte de Camuncolli siempre me ha parecido bueno, en especial cuando Francisco Plascencia quien lo colorea. La anatomía de Spidey me parece realista y a diferencia de otros ilustradores, las páginas no están plagadas de personajes con miembros largos haciendo piruetas o maniobras descabelladas.
Seguiré leyendo esta serie pero sólo porque me interesa ver Dead no more y clone conspiracy.

Slott zalicza mały spadek formy, ale i tak jego historia dostarczyła mi wiele zabawy, chociaż czuć tu pewną powtarzalność, mimo ciekawych konceptów. Autor postanowił nam zaprezentować mały konflikt pomiędzy Peterem a Tonym Starkiem. Chłopcy lubią sobie po-prężyć muskuły, a na domiar złego Mary J. Watson przeszła pod skrzydła konkurencji. W tyle bogaty jegomość, który zarządza nowym więzieniem, ale ma w tym wszystkim własny interes.
Utarczki słowne i ta swoista rozgrywka na "większą", lepszą technologię nawet bawi. Szkoda tylko, że nadchodzący przeciwnik i jego poczynania są mało wiarygodne i słabo rozpisane. Kolejni superbohaterowie uginają się pod siłą nijakiego Regenta i na pewnym etapie to nawet działa. Gorzej, że wróg mając takie moce, nie może sobie poradzić z dwoma wyraźnie słabszymi postaciami. Plus morał tej historii: że rodzina jest najważniejsza, niż czyjeś ego. Słyszałem to i widziałem setki razy gdzieś indziej... Już pomijając fakt, że na przestrzeni istnienia Pajączka ten wątek też był zahaczany wielokrotnie... Do czasu, jak Parker znów nie zapomni...
Pod względem kreski nadal jest bardzo fajnie, wrażenie robią okładki, a sam pajęczak wizualnie znajduje się w odpowiednich rękach. Zastanawia mnie nieco brak wyczucia autora co do postaci. Czyżby przemęczenie materiały? Zwłaszcza jeżeli uwzględni się ile czasu Slott pracował z postacią Pajęczka. Oby dalej było lepiej.

In this volume, we see Regent make his move to achieve his goal of no Superheroes or villains in the world. If you read the Secret Wars series "Amazing Spider-Man: Renew your Vows," then you know who Regent is. That series was great, if you want to read about a world where Mary Jane and Peter are married and have a kid, who they are trying to appear as a normal family to not be hunted down.
This volume had some meh moments but overall I was pleased with what I read and I liked the art. It had a slow start but the story picked up towards the end. We were left with a massive cliffhanger and I am going to read Volume 4 quickly to find out what happens.
The fights and scenes between Iron Man and Spider-man to me were silly and they behaved like children. I'm still deciding on if that was in-character for them. The dialogue between them was just juvenile.
I did enjoy the old issue they added at the end of the volume "Amazing Spider-Man Annual 19." I miss MJ and Spider-man and I hope soon they will have MJ back in his life, even as just a friend.
