Gather The Amazing Spider-Man, Vol. 1: The Parker Luck Executed By Dan Slott Version
enjoyed this one amp it was pretty funny as well While I typically love Dan Slott his issues of SheHUlk are some of my favroite Marvel stuff of the last few decades!, I found this reboot of Spidey utterly underwhelming and uninspired.
Many of the other reviewers hit very eloquently on some of the many key points/flaws with this reboot, mainly having to do with Peter Parker and how insipid and oblivious he has become or maybe he always was, and we just have rosecolored glasses on
After Amazing, I was wondering whether to read "Superior SPider Man", where Doc Ock inhabits Peter Parkers body.
Ultimately, I did, and that "Superior" run left me totally awestuck, and wanting more as the inevitable "reboot" came back around,
After reading a layered depiction of a villian waffling between good and evil, I couldn't bring myself to stick with the milquetoast Peter Parker again, as nothing new was added to his story in these issues, and there was just TOO DAMN MUCH going.
Moreover, this title almost seems like a setup for the Spiderverse, And we're introduced to ANOTHER newly created SPideycharacter that will likely play a major role, while Peter Parker gets lost in the Marvel continuity shuffle once more,
The greatest super hero of all time returns! The world may have changed since Spidey's been gone, but so has Peter Parker, This is a man with a second chance at life, and he's not wasting a moment of it, But his old foes are back as well reenergized, out of control and madder than ever: Electro and the Black Cat demand revenge! And as if dealing with them isn't enough, a new revelation rocks SpiderMan's world to its core: the radioactive spider that gave Peter Parker his powers bit someone else, too! Who is Silk, and where has she been all these years Find out as Peter Parker retakes his life, putting the "friendly" back in the neighborhood, the "hero" back in "super hero".
. . and the "amazing" back in "SpiderMan!"
Collects Amazing SpiderMan, Nach Doc Ocks Abgang ist Peter Parker also wieder Herr im Hause seines eigenen Körpers "Months ago a very, . . 'super heroish' thing happened to me, I got mindswapped with a bad guy" und das Schlimmste: "Son of a on top of everything, . . he changed all'my ringtones", doch sofort holt ihn sein altes, sprichwörtliches "Parker Luck" ein, Bei einem Scharmützel mit Killer Moth, Verzeihung, Skein, steht er plötzlich nur noch mit Maske bekleidet da:
Peinlicher gehts nimmer, und die Sozialen Netzwerke sind omnipräsent "Youre tweeting it":
Man muss nicht pubertär sein, um darüber lachen zu können, obwohl es vermutlich hilft oh je, und ich konnte mir ein Grinsen nicht verkneifen.
Und dann der Dialog in der Menschenmenge:
"Halfnaked man in a mask tying up a girl in a fuzzy animal suit, Should that kid be watching this"
"Lady, I dont think a n y o n e should be watching this, "
"Put some darn clothes on! Who do you think you are Miley Cyrus"
Auch wenn mir die Artwork deriger undiger besser gefällt, die Dialoge sind heute frecher / witziger.
Spidey, der sich wie Rip van Winkle erst in seinem neuen Leben orientieren muss was tun mit der Freundin und Mitbewohnerin, die sich Doc Ock als PP angelacht hat, wie Parker Industries führen, bekommt dazu aber kaum Zeit, denn Dank Doc Ocks ehemaligen Machenschaften als SpiderMan hegen Electro und Black Cat einen mächtigen Groll gegen den zurückgekehrten Helden.
Gegen das TeamUp der beiden hätte Spidey keine Chance, aber er bekommt Unterstützung von der geheimnisvollen Silk, die damals von derselben radioaktiven Spinne gebissen wurde wie Peter.
Und zwischen den beiden Spinnen ist die animalische Anziehung enorm,
Die drei SilkHefte gehören übergreifend zum Original SinZyklus, Für die ASMReihe ist das zunächst aber bedeutungslos,
Der ActionPart Spider Man / Silk vs, Black Cat / Electro hat mich nicht sehr überzeugt, aber Peter Parker und seinem sprichwörtlichen "Glück" endlich einmal wieder zu begegnen war gut, Und Silk birgt in der PlotEntwicklung viel Potential, das Marvel hoffentlich nicht verschenkt,
Fazit: Überwiegend coole Artwork, interessanter Plot, endlich wieder ein sympathischer Spidey, viel Witz und eine Prise Erotik, So darf es weiter gehen nach der absurden Sackgasse mit Doc Ock als Netzschwinger,
I havent read many SpiderMan books compared to other superheroes, and reading AllNew Marvel NOW! Amazing SpiderMan Volmade me realise why: I hate Peter Parker,
Because I loved the Superior SpiderMan series when Doc Ock was running the show but now hes gone and Peters back Its unbearable,
So sigh hes back,
After the hasty demise of Doc Ock and Peters return to his own body, the first issue came out just in time for the latest and worst SpiderMan movie a few months ago which also happened to have Electro as the villain.
The loose ends of Superior SpiderMan are moreorless dealt with quickly by Dan Slott so the book can focus on Electro and Black Cat teaming up to fight SpiderMan because we had to return to the status quo immediately and what better way than a pair of classic Spidey villains going up against him
Electros motivation for hating SpiderMan is a mystery he accidentally kills his punk girlfriend because his powers are out of control but other than that, hes just after SpiderMan because thats what he does.
Which, to be fair, was more motivation than he got in the movie I think Jamie Foxx was mad because Spidey didnt remember his name or something Has there been a worse motivation in film history
Meanwhile, Black Cats angry because he got her locked up in jail when he was Superior SpiderMan, which is fine but be honest: does a teamup between Electro and Black Cat against SpiderMan fill you with excitement Me either, and its downright dull and laughable on the page too.
The usual scrapes occur except I was painfully aware that Cats dialogue was full of cliched puns:
“, My lucky number. Whatre the odds”
“This Black Cats crossing your path, ”
“If youre a smart eel, youll slip away, ”
“Im stealing your thunder, Actually pointing to Electro, thatd be what my friend heres doing, ”
“Oh Max, theres nothing you could do that would shock me, ”
“Getting in here was so easy, . . it was downright criminal. ”
Cheesy AND corny her lines are like a packet of Cheetos!
Theres a side story featuring an obscure character called Cindy Moon, who also calls herself Silk.
She got bitten with the same radioactive spider as Peter did so shes got Spideypowers herself except shes been locked up for decades because of some creep called Morlun who will destroy the world or something if she gets loose.
Like I said, I dont read much SpiderMan so who the hell knows what thats all about!
But the rest of the book is Slott undoing what he did in Superior with Spidey rejoining the Avengers immediately, Peter deciding to rebuild a new supervillain prison like the Raft, and he gets into some shenanigans because, doh, hes got that old Parker luck! Its so totally boring and stale.
Whos interested in Jonah getting his own talk show And why would an old man get his own TV show anyway A disgraced former mayor no less I guess its some Fox News deal or something, right
So, here you go, fanboys who were outraged at Superior SpiderMan your boring old, incompetent, annoying un“Amazing” SpiderMan is back.
Your dreary state of affairs is safely returned to you intact, as anyone with half a brain already knew would happen anyway,
All the invention and freshness that defined Superior, at least for the first half of that run, is absent in Amazing SpiderMan, Volume, replaced with the red meat that traditional SpiderMan fans want the same old, same old.
And it couldnt be a more tedious comic,
Welcome back, I guess, Pete Im off to not read any more of your comics! Reread, . . Can't remember where I originally read this perhaps Spiderverse Per iniziare ad addentrarsi nello SpiderVerse, da ignorante quale sono ma amante di tutti i ragnetti Marvel, direi che è un buon volume: disegni senza dubbio di mio gradimento, storia assolutamente comprensibile anche per chi come me non conosce tutte le vicende precedenti.
E poi Spidey è troppo divertente, After all the anticipation about how badlymangled Spidey would be, after the wreckage that was left from Octavius wreaking havoc across Parkers personal life, its refreshing to see it spool out slowly, like its not a total train wreck.
Which it is most deservedly should be,
Waking up after someone's been in his body like a joyride in your car For like six months
A woman he's never technically met, living in his apartment
One of his exes on a homicidal mission
His business partner ready to hang him out to dry
And even his old boss determined to shred his alter ego
I don't know what it is about the way Slott boils down his characters to the core, but they're at the same time supersimple and entirely compelling.
I'm actually excited to read his dialogue, even if it probably resembles the high art of soap opera I'm guessing the patterns are there, even though I don't really feel like I'm reading an episode of WWE.
This was okay. I haven't read superior SpiderMan so I didn't know a lot of the references, but ignoring that, I feel I like this was a little bit of an ad for the other comic series in the universe especially Fantastic Four.
Also SpiderMan just seemed incapable in this volume, Will probably continue but not right away, To było mega słabe jak na Spider mana mam nadzieje ze następne części będą lepsze This sees Peter Parker return as the Amazing SpiderMan after Doc Ock took over his body and became Superior SpiderMan.
Slott gets back into the swing of things pretty quickly pun intended as Spidey finds himself facing off against both Electro amp the Black Cat,
It is fairly standard SpiderMan fare, a battle between Spidey and some classic villains, who are both messed up thanks to Superior SpiderMan, Black Cat becomes more of a proper super villain here, although this is somewhat undermined by her spouting of cheesy lines,
Also introduced here is Silk, a girl who was bitten by the same radioactive spider as Peter Parker, She's an interesting character and has a small role here but I have high hopes for her future storylines,
There is no way this can be described as a particularly exceptional Spidey story but it is a decent start to Peter Parker's revival, If nothing else, this is worth reading for the great cliffhanger where SpiderMan's identity is about to be revealed, Actual .Stars
After what feels like ages I finally finished The SpiderVerse monster edition that I own and the next logical step for me was to finally pick up the Amazing SpiderMan yes I know, I maybe should have read this before the spiderverse, but you know, comic order doesn't always bother me.
And I am a fan! I really like sassy and sarcastic Peter Parker and I love the version of him that makes tons of jokes and can't stay serious forminutes.
In The Parker Luck Peter finally is in charge of his own mind and body again, after Dr, Oct. mindswapped with him in earlier stories, Now, Peter is trying to find his way in this world again and trying to figure out how to run his company and handle being SpiderMan at the same time.
Black Cat seems like an interesting new villain and I like that we see how Peter is trying to make ammends for Otto's evildoings, Hence, why Electro is also such a good character in this one! Otto tortured him and and apparently did experiments on him and now he doesn't trust the "new" SpiderMan is different.
And yet, Spidey still tries everything to save him from his own powers!
Cue Silk, one of my favourite new characters from SpiderVerse, We get to see here how Peter freed her from the bunker she lived in for most of her life, And even though she is mad at him, as this triggered Morlun's hunt for the spiderpeople, she and Peter can't stay away from each other, I am really looking forward to reading more about Silk and I need to get my hands on volumeandasap!
You can find sitelinkmy review for SpiderVerse here.
Until this book, I'd never read a SpiderMan comic, Yeah, I know, I'm late to the party, But I'm here now and that's what matters, right
So, what'd I think I like it! I like Peter and his lighter personality, I like all the little comments he makes, and I like that he isn't smooth, He feels like a normal guy who's a little on the geeky, awkward side, and he doesn't take himself too seriously, This is someone who wants to help people, but he also is gonna have fun while doing it, and that's gold to me, He enjoys what he's doing, There are far too many heroes who're all dark and serious, I mean, geez if you're gonna go around helping people acting like it's some heavy burden all the time, . . I dunno There should be a balance, Peter Parker leans much more to the joking side of things and it's refreshing,
This is also the book wherein they introduce Silk Cindy Moon! Yay!!! I absolutely adore her in her solo title, and she's one of my main reasons for reading this.
Other than the fact that she's Asian, and that having been locked up for years in a bunker provides a lot of potential for character development, there isn't as much here to pique interest in her.
She's all over Peter for a good chunk of her scenes, which I wrinkle my nose at, It seems weird. Even with raging hormones, I doubt a girl who's been in isolation for years would jump the first boy she meets, But they give us suspected spider reasons to justify it still wrinkling my nose, However, her action scenes do look quite cool, and she has some amusing interactions with other characters,
Speaking of things looking cool Great segue, huh, the art in this book is comicbooky in the best way, It's a light, loose art style that matches the tone of the story and characters, Lovely colours, too.
I'm really happy with this book, I can't compare it to any other SpiderMan runs I've heard people say they didn't like this, but as an introduction to the
guy and his world, it makes a good impression.
Worth the read, in my opinion, You'll likely get a few smiles out of it, .
