A faithful adaptation of the fantastic Spider-Man game. A lot had to be left out though to condense this down into 6 issues. Bandini's art is great. So are the colors by David Curiel.

This was such a fun miniseries. I love how many characters were involved, and the pacing was well-done. This definitely could've been longer based on how much I enjoyed it, but it wrapped up neatly at the end. I would honestly love to see more short arcs like this if it meant they were always so well-done.

This story really suffered from being too short. It's not necessarily the writer's fault for being restricted to six issues while trying to adapt a lengthy video game story, but it doesn't help that several pages were devoted to things that didn't happen on screen in the game. For example, there are pages devoted to delving into Miles, building his backstory with extra scenes, which would be great if the page count was longer. But getting inside the heads of nameless and faceless Sable agents wa...

So here we have a Spidey book based on a video game. In my experience, stuff that’s based on video games tends to... well, suck. This book, sadly, was no exception.This felt like twelve issues of story crammed into half that space. The plot jumped around wildly, leaving me feeling like scenes had been glossed over or left out completely. The fight scenes were much too short, often feeling like we’d joined the action seconds before it was over. Every time I started a new issue, I felt like I’d mi...

By all accounts and purposes, “Spider-Man: City at War” is essentially just your run-of-the-mill adaptation/recreation/copy-and-paste-job of a popular videogame’s narrative: in all but a few areas, it follows the story of the game to a T. Which, on the one hand, is a little disappointing: one of the best things about the world and characters that Insomniac created in their game was that they felt fully realized, which made you want to see MORE of them, in other, NEW adventures. So to have their

I found this concept of Spider-Man to be worthy of the Marvel Universe. I really hope that more comics will be written for this spider-verse. My favorite component was the inter action between Peter Parker and Mary Jane. This is probably my favorite Mary Jane yet to be written. She is a kick-ass modern girl with a steady job that fits her personality perfectly. It be hard for her not to have been changed by being Spider-Man's girlfriend. Not to enjoy the thrill of the mystery and the fight for j...

Marvel's Spider-Man: City at War seems like a no-brainer. Spider-Man has a history of fantastic comics -- I've read hundreds and hundreds of them -- so why not make the best Spider-Man game of all-time into a comic series?Unfortunately, City at War is a pale attempt at replicating what worked in the game that crams too much into two few issues, features distractingly poor character art that looks plastic and clashes with the environments and action scenes, and manages to tell a mostly incoherent...

Loved this adaptation of the game. Great art and interesting alterations. Of course, it did feel a bit rushed in the last couple of chapters and while I don't think it could fit in 12 issues, I wish they had expanded to maybe 8 to 10.Still, I've playes the game twice and watched a playthrough and now read it in comic form and this is a fantastic Spidey story for the ages.

Three stars seems mean for this, but hear me out.Condensing the 20+ hour story of Marvel's Spider-Man into six issues was always going to be a tough ask. Dennis Hopeless does a good job of it, for the most part. He hits all the major beats, manages to fit in some of the best jokes (Did you leave your clothes on my kitchen floor?) and still retain a lot of the emotional investment that the game managed to instill in the characters. But if you've already played Spider-Man, you're not going to get

Whist I wouldn't say this was a must have for someone whose played the game, it is quite a nice edition. The start is quite rushed though, the first issue alone, introduces 4 villain's and 4 supporting characters. It's all a bit rushed, same can be said with the second issue, thankfully after that it calms down and takes it's time telling the story. There was a lot of focus on Mary Jane in this, I don't it was a bad thing just wished they stopped trying to make her Spider-Man's partner and devel...

This graphic novel was a basic recap of the Spider-Man game for Playstation 4. The game was great and thus the comic was great, but I'd really love to see more from this universe in comic form before Marvel decides to grace us with the next game (which I assume will be on PS5).Play the game, read the graphic novel. Classic Spider-Man.Strong recommend.

As far as comic adaptions go, this one was pretty good, however I did feel as though there were a lot of the plot from the video game that was skipped over, and also a lot of fight scenes and smaller plot lines missing.Nonetheless, it was fun to read and recapped the video game nicely.

A really good companion piece to the game.It fills things in where something may have been desired in the game but also leaves stuff out that was in the game. I think that comes mostly from the strengths of the two mediums. Such as this story plays out across 20 or so hours of game vs six 23 page issues.I think it’s best read after playing or watching the game but some might find it to be a good stand in for the game if they don’t do games.All around solid comic that’s at times too fast paced fo...

I didn’t like this series but I also didn’t hate it, when I first heard it I saw it marketed as sequel to the city that never sleeps expansion from the game, imagine my disappointment when it turned out it was an adaptation of the game! Great art though.

Have to agree with other reviewers, if you have played the game you could skip this volume entirely and go to the next one which will have an original story.If you have played the game, you will definitely feel like some pieces are missing from the story. All-in-all I think there were maybe 5 pages of added material, so not missing anything new.That being said, if you did not play the game it's not actually a bad story.

A good but very quick read; I think trying to fit the whole of the PS4 game in to a 6-part series was ambitious and rushed at times. Good to see some snippets of perspective from other characters though.

I loved the video game, and I enjoyed the new content in the comic book. The artwork is high quality and eye-catching. On the downside, if you haven’t played the game all the way through, you’ll probably be a bit confused in a few sections due to storyline cuts that were made to fit in the most critical parts.

This adaptation is true to the spirit and key points of the main story from the Spider-Man video game, but the game itself is far more nuanced and developed. Overall, this graphic novel presents a fun way to review the story in a single sitting after completing the game over a longer period of time.

COLLECTING: MARVEL'S SPIDER-MAN: CITY AT WAR ISSUES #1-6This is the start of Marvel's Gamerverse comic line, based on the recent Spider-Man PlayStation video game. I liked it more than I didn't like it, however I do think the plotting was rushed because they were trying to use only six issues to tell all of the story told inside the video game. Final rating = 3.5 stars

I loved the game, and reading this book makes me want to play it all over again, the artwork, Peters thought bubbles,the storyline perfect spider man comic and im excited to see more of the gamer verse. Also loved the concept art bit at the end.
