Decent finale to Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man by Tom Taylor. This one is a collection of stories, all of which just scratch the surface of some potentially interesting concept without fully committing. Though visually striking, this collection could have used another volume to allow Tom Taylor to explore his ideas a bit further.

Full of wholesome spidey tales! This reminds me of Superman Red and Blue

I loved the writing and the art. This was everything I love about Spidey in a book - great MJ subplot, Aunt May emotions, more history for Rumor, and even a couple surprise appearances from Miles. Plus hopeful storylines about still getting up in a fight when you think you have nothing left to give.

This is THE feel-good comic of this century. It’s just positive vibes from start to finish, top to bottom, and I love every single page of it.

One of these stars is just because I love the Prowler.

This one was so good OMG!

Okay so the volume starts with May dealing with her disease and something with reopening FEAST but then problem with Crowdfunding and then we see Spider-man come into it and then he fights Prowler and thinks Hobie is behind it but its not and then we find some other enemy: Mr Helminth, the owner of that site behind it and we have the heroes fight against him and also I love how Taylor ties up the origin of "The Rumor" in it and uses Cap to hint at her long history which was so awesome and then come Iron man which was so good omg! <3!

It was a cool story but then there are some standalones which were so awesome like MJ being a hero even when she doens't have powers and it was so cute or Peter teaming up with the F4 to take down the leader of Under York, Carrick and ending the first storyline of the series in such a great fashion and I love the callback to their long running relationship which was so awesome and god its so cool to read about and Taylor really brings the emotion here!

And finally the big story of Aunt may's treatment and Pete's friends helping on a night off and its brilliantly written and Pete sort of helping a kid in another way which just goes back to the first volume and showing how awesome he is and then May and Pete in the end, mother and son! <3!

Its an amazing volume and just shows the various relations of Peter and like his connections to MU and the friendships and it uses the threat or enemies as a plot device to tell these human stories and Taylor excels at that and I love it, it just makes you tear up in the best way! <3!
