This comic book is definitely great.
Probably the best arc of the JMS run so far. I liked the bits with Loki and Spidey enjoying a street meat, and was glad to see the end of the Ezekiel arc.
Two great Spider-man stories in one. What a ride and what a treat!
The end of a saga.. but I just can’t help but feel like something is still missing.
Not always a fan of weird mystical comic stories, but this one oddly worked for me. Although, to be fair, the Spidey and MJ dynamic might have been the best parts (and who doesn't love Loki?).
The Ezekiel storyline concludes. Three issues only-to coincide with Romita Jr's departure?- but enough to satisfyingly bring the strange relatipnship between Peter and Ezekiel to a close. I can't say it comes as a huge surprise but it's decently done and answers questions left hanging as to why Peter was bitten on that fateful day and stuff.Before that 3 rather innocuous issues but-and I will repeat it time and again-above the lot because of JMS' sense of pacing, dialogues and his craft when con...
Morwen (#503-504). Peter has been interacting with a ridiculous number of supernatural foes under JMS, and I'm not sure it's made any better by Peter saying in the comic that he's been interacting with a ridiculous number of supernatural foes. It makes one wonder if JMS really wanted to write Dr. Strange (or Thor). This is a fine enough story about Peter interacting with Loki, but as with close to half of JMS' run to date, it doesn't feel much like a spider-story [3+/5].Vibes (#505). Once again,...
Exceptional work. Romita and Straczynski nail it as always. Perfect introduction of a new hero and villain that builds the existing Spider-Man universe as opposed to branching away from it. Beautiful. One of my favorites.
A very weak tpb. Ezekiel is incredibly uninteresting.
Finally, we get to the end of this Ezekiel storyline but not before some horrible filler that could’ve easily brought this down to a 2 star if I wasn’t so favourable with the culmination of the arc at the end of it.I think I’m going to save a bigger review for the second read through that I’ll inevitably have of this run. I’ll mostly talk about Ezekiel and if he deserved to have a redemption at all?Two things I’ll mention really quickly on the trade that I found to be a downer: one is downer for...
Nota 4'5
4,5/5The only reason this isn't getting a full 5 star rating is because of the 3rd comic in there. I just wasn't a fan of the MJ focus. I haven't met her yet, I haven't even finished the first Spidey run, so to me it was just 'can we go back to Peter now please'. Other than that, I adored the Loki and his daughter storyline, and I hope it will be revisited, as it was left quite open ended, with plenty of room for a follow up. The Ezekiel story itself was incredibly interesting. I loved reading a...
Just as I was starting to get that feeling that this run wasn't nearly as good as I originally remembered, I come to this volume which really delivers. Although the book looks pretty thin, you get a good six issues this time, a two part story arc, a one shot and a three part main story. The first two chapters involve Web-Head teaming up with Thor's brother/enemy, Loki, to prevent a worldwide conquest by interdimensional witch, Morwen (who's name sounds an awful lot like Morlun, the villain from
There's still more JMS Spidey but this is the end of his collaboration with John Romita Jr. 36 issues spanning the small character moments and big villain fights and splash pages. A conversation with Aunt May about his secret identity and reconciling with Mary Jane, this was a fantastic run. As this run introduced Morlun, a driving force of the Spider-verse comic event, this run is indirectly responsible for the best Spidey movie.But this was a great run for other reasons. There was some casual
The first story is about some sorceress named Morwen who has possessed one of Loki's daughters body and its upto Spidey and Loki to rescue her and this happened due to the previous arc and its fun and the next one is Pete rescuing a kid from straying down the wrong path and this is one of those stories where it just shows why Spidey is the best and the next one is Spidey coming face to face with the 3rd big threat and understands why so many supernatural forces are after him and what it means to...
You know, it wrapped up the Ezekiel stuff just fine, but it's hard to say that I loved it, which is really saying something for Spidey. I do think this storyline marked the end of the JMS honeymoon period. It wraps up his big idea storyline with a resounding, "Huh, yeah ok sure." It's not bad, but with all the buildup it would have been nice to see the Ezekiel thread wrapped up with some real business. I don't event really hate bringing in the supernatural stuff, either.That being said, a lot of...
I loved getting to see Loki in this one, and Spider-Man's interactions with other supernatural beings are always fun. We also get to see the end of the Ezekiel storyline here, which included a satisfying ending. Lots of supernatural things at work here, but by the end we're reminded: Spider-Man always gets back up.
It really was exciting and I enjoyed most of it. I didn’t like that Loki’s favour was not being used in this graphic novel. Because of that the first story with Loki was useless, although it was fun and I liked it. (Especially eating hotdogs part, was wholesome) Then, the action was a little fuzzy at the end with the epic battle, but the dramatic finale is clearly sad. I knew Ezekiel for quite some time and I was surprised to get the origin story and death in the same comic. After all, it’s a gr...
Everything about this book was awesome. I really liked the story line and the artistry and basically everything about this book.
I admit it. I bought this collection, one of only two Spider-man trades I own, to read about his encounter with Loki. I had seen panels of Spider-man and Loki eating hot dogs on a rooftop and HAD to know how that came about. It was well worth the effort to locate!Though I came to the book for this one story, which opens the book, the rest of the collection naturally flows from it and makes sense. Spider-man has been encountering more than his usual share of “magical wackos” (Loki included) and t...
