    Default How do you grade the new PP:SSM book?

    Well, it's been 3 issues and I think now is a fair time to assess it so...what do you think? Please vote and let us know how you feel!

    F; I'd definitely rate Zdarsky amongst the worst Spider-Man writers of all time.

    Funny in places, but a lot of the content definitely does'nt mix with the tale it's trying to tell with Teresa. Feels like it's cheapening Family Business rather than adding to it.

    Eh, it's okay for what it is, which isn't much to talk about to begin with, but it's neither what I was hoping for nor all it can be as a Spider-Man satellite book in my opinion.

    I just feel like it's not necessary I guess...It's fine, but in the scheme of things it doesn't have a real niche to it.

    I rate it a D. The writing continues to be cringe-worthy and Kubert's art is oddly off. Just a big big letdown for me.

    I'd say Kubert's artwork is very cartoony and loose in this book.

    I've dropped it. I thought of giving it more time but judging from the poll so far, it isn't improving. I won't go as far as saying it's garbage though, so I'll give it a D.

    Only the art is good. Everything else is trash. The first issue stunk then in issue 2 Spiderman asks RiRi for a autograph. I immediately put the comic back on the shelf.

    I think the writing is hilarious, I really love what Kubert's doing with the art...quite frankly, I'm a little mystified by the reaction it's getting on the boards.

    I agree with this.

    Also if a tradeback ends up being either 5-6 issues, shouldn't we wait till evaluate after 5 issues?

    I don't know how to put words to describe the best grade for it, I know I'm not his biggest fan, and his work feels more filler like than important.
    I'm not a fan of the idea of Teresa, I wish that graphic novel was a one-off thing with no adherence to continuity.

    I can only speak for myself but I really dislike the humor style which is much closer to Deadpool then it is to Spiderman. And the art is a very cartoony and amateurish in my opinion; definitely not up to Kuberts usual standards.

    Huge disappointment for me after this book was hyped as a "return to street level action". Instead, it's a zanier Marvel Team-Up with little to no focus on Peter as a character.

    Average at this point, so a C. While it isn't terrible, the book hasn't yet caught my attention either.
