Chip Zdarsky's back to Spider-Man. "Spider's Shadow'' is part of a new series of extended 'What-If' series. This one is a 4-issue miniseries.
The first issue is good. Pasqual Ferry's pencils combined with Matt Hollingsworth's colors produce one good looking comic.
Zdarsky says the comic is set right after ASM#258 and the designs of the characters shows, with Pasqual Ferry capturing the distinct look Ron Frenz's MJ had.
The first issue features unique twists on some familiar beats like the Hobgoblin mystery, and you have a cool moment with Reed Richards.
PS: The What If imprint logo on the right-hand top of the issue is an obvious swipe of the Criterion Collection DVD-BR box logo, lol!
