I didn't see a thread on this, so I thought I'd start one.
This seems to be the end of the "Mother of Exiles" story, Tom Taylor's first go-round with the Web-Slinger!
Some new things:
- Aunt May has breast cancer (possibly the biggest thing), and will tell Peter in issue #5
- Peter's identity is known to a new superhero called the Rumor
- Wilson Fisk has a secret deal with the mayor of Under York
- There's a secret society of weird Orange Men and women under the city
Whew! That's quite a lot. Overall, I liked this first arc. Nothing that will set the mythos on fire, but entertaining and had some great Peter moments. Taylor shows that he really understands the balance between the humor and the hero, and his eye for Spider-Man's voice make this a good draw for me.
I know this series will inevitably be overshadowed by Spencer's outstanding and amazing run, but Taylor is slowly proving he can hold his own!
So, what did you think?
As for upcoming stories,
- We have Aunt May and Peter talking
- The return of FEAST and Hobie Brown, the Prowler!
- A new mini Spider-Man named Spider-Bite!
