After spending an astounding amount on comics in the last year I’ve finally started to read some of them.
Read the entire run of Superior Spider-Man. I’ll be honest I thought it was gonna be dumb. Seemed like a silly premise. It had good reviews so I gave it a chance. Glad I did. It was highly enjoyable. Slott is a good Spidey writer. Plots a little silly at times but that’s to be expected.
Then moved on to SpiderVerse. I have the full version with all the side stories. It does wander a bit at times and the villains are a bit hokey but overall I really enjoyed it. Other than featuring a few similar characters it has nothing to do with the animated SpiderVerse movie. It seems they’ve found a way to incorporate some of Spidey’s convoluted history with clones and it turned out quite well. Unlike many crossovers that are muddled with continuity problems where it seems like the writers and artists didn’t coordinate at all, this one was very well done. There were panels in some issues that were then exactly referenced in other issues. Did a great job of keeping the timeline and simultaneous events in tact.
Would recommend both for any Spidey fans. Both were much, much better than my last Spidey outing, which was the Back in Black storyline. Ugh. It sucked.
My backlog is still massive. MK Spidey, MK Black Widow, MK Black Panther (the ones from the original Quesada imprint like 20 years ago), Age of Ultron, Superman for Tomorrow, Superman Last Son, several volumes of Batman by Snyder and Capullo, tons of Xmen and Wolverine, Harley and Ivy, Gotham Central, Catwoman, Wonder Woman by Rucka. Plus all the digital comics I’ll never read because I prefer physical copies. Except Xmen Lifedeath. That was really good. Windsor Smith’s art is flawless.
