Marvel just wants to steal all my money, don't they? Anyway, I'm glad that this is a thing. I can give this to my niece and nephews.

"They're all standalone stories. These are designed to be in the classic Marvel mold; every issue is a first issue."

What? An old fashion-style series with stand-alone issues instead of one big 6- or 7-issue arc after another? I think I'm in!

[Derek Metaltron]

It's a nice idea, if nothing else for allowing the main Peter Parker book to mature the character and go in new directions whilst having Spidey act as a classic era book. Plus we'll hopefully get new stories with classic Green Suit Ock, Green Goblin before Peter knew who he was, Vulture and Sandman and Kraven, Betty Brant as Peter's girl again...

This sounds like a fun idea. I think it's great that a new all-ages book is coming out, and I'll be interested to hear the reactions.

In hindsight, thinking that Peter wasn't going to be the main spider-man was incredibly silly, especially considering he now has 2(3 if you count DP team up) ongoings.

This sounds like a fun idea. I like how every issue will be stand-alone to the point where young readers can buy it at any point during its run.

I just want every issue to be 2.99 each. If it's going to be an all-aged comic, it should be affordable for "all-ages," as in young kids who want to buy a new issue of Spidey every month.

when marvel says for mature audiences, they mean mature audiences. when they say teen and up, they mean all ages. when they say all ages, they mean 6 and under, or people with no attention span whatsoever

I don't know. There are some teen and up books that I'd never let my niece and nephews read.

4 If you count Uncanny Avengers, since he's on that team.

Miles isn't all ages?

[Chrysalis_Changling]

i fear this book will just be for children and nothing more...dumbed down spidey tales

[CrimsonEchidna]

Miles isn't all ages?

All Ages essentially means a Parent can give the comic to their 6-year old without any concern.

This is essentially a Modern "Untold Tales" which is pretty cool.

[Anjohl]

So, half Ultimate Spidey, half MC2.

I hope this doesn't do what untold tales did, and introduce characters that are seemingly tightly woven into the social paradigm at the school, making it seem weird we never see them in the old issues. Other than that it sounds fun. More bully flash! That'll be fun .
