This is an all-ages, directed at grade schoolers series. Think of it as Spidey Super Stories for the 21st Century. Oddly enough, this series provides more solid storytelling than the "real" Spider-Man series. The artwork has always been too mangish for my tastes. I truly despise Manga. It is the worst flavor to be introduced to mainstream superhero comics since Jim Lee/ Rob Liefield and those losers rolled into town.
An anthology of family-friendly Spider-Man stories, this book isn’t gripping or spectacular, but it’s fairly engaging and humorous. Plus, it has some good messages.
