Well, there goes my wallet.

Think I will pass on Amazing and pick this up instead. It looks like they got a pretty good team for this.

if this is an all ages product, then it should be $2.99.

It should be, and take Bradshaw off art, and i will buy it.

Will "Untold Tales of Spider-Man" still be in continuity as well?

Also, when do the authors think Peter turned 16? He first met the Sinister Six (one their planned villains) after ASM Vol 1 #16, and graduated from high school in #28.

Why? A comic is a comic. 4 dollars is the going rate for comics.

Comics I can actually give to kids? Be still my heart.

It's meant to be all-ages, and it would be preferable if it's affordable for kids with their pocket money, or for the pester power appeal. I'd love to be able to see a new generation growing up with a teenage Spider-Man.

However, I question how relevant this is. We'll have a Miles book, and we've had the incredible and recent Ultimate Spider-Man run showing Peter's younger years from Bendis. I don't see any need to revisit his younger years. Learning to Crawl was a fun diversion for me, but it never felt like there was any urgency. Nothing major could happen, because it has to fit in neatly into continuity. So no character's dying or changing. I expect to see more of the same.

Full stories told in 1 issue? What kind of trick are you playing?

I'm kidding, this kind of stuff is more of what I want. Tell good simple stories, stay true to the characters, make it fun. It looks like they're playing very loosely with "in continuity" from those preview pages depicting the 616 origin, but I don't care. Looks fun, sounds fun. I'm in.

More so, the page with the White Rabbit.

How is that supposed to work?

[Webhead]

Link to these preview pages?

But yeah I'm all for this. A different writer handling Spidey's voice and done-in-one books are great news.

[Wandacrystal22]

LOL Marvel just couldn't resist bringing Peter back to High School. lol

How is that supposed to work?

Yeah, that too. No way this works in continuity like Untold Tales of Spider-Man did but I'm always for more stories like this regardless. Kurt Busiek played it very tightly with the original Lee + Ditko run and that was heavily reflected in the art by Pat Olliffe feeling like it took place in that psuedo-60s era.

Here's the preview pages, too. http://comicbook.com/2015/07/24/marv...series/#Image2

I hope Nick Bradshaw either has a large head start, or they have a regular fill-in artist of similar quality planned on this, because there's no way he can handle an ongoing series. Maybe he's only on board for the first six issues...
