Friendly Neighbourhood Spider-Man de Tom Taylor y Juan Cabal. Vaya equipo se ha juntado aquí!
La verdad que es una historia muy loca, con grandes momentos de humor y mostrando el Spider-Man más cercano, que se preocupa de su entorno y no está a salvar la ciudad, la tierra, el universo.

Okay, a leeeetle upper class/lower class sort of message-y-ness that I could do without, but whatever, not a huge deal, it's made up for by the sweetness of the stories.
Yeah, I guess it sounds a little cruel to be like, "I don't care if Peter Parker is friends with homeless people." Which...that's not exactly true. It's not Peter Parker caring about people that I get annoyed by, not at all. It just gets a little straw man, like every rich person hopes that every homeless person gets swept away by a street sweeper that was possessed by the ghost of an old industrialist. Like Haunted Tank, but modernized. Or maybe the street sweeper is powered by a technology that sees people as trash, and we all learn a lesson about the way these things are programmed and the robot is like, "I am not the monster. I am just doing as I was programmed."
Straw Man would be a good villain. Wait, is that the same as Scarecrow?
Anyway, it's just kinda funny to me how in comics a guy in a suit will be like, "Why do these urchins keep getting in my way? I'm a Wall Streetman! I have a case, and it's full of briefs! I haven't time to give this ragamuffin one of my many dollars!" It feels a little silly, like maybe...a little lazy. Or boring.
There was also a very sweet story which got me because I'm old now, so that kind of stuff ALWAYS works. It's like these days I'll tear up because I know someone's about to try and make that happen, like I've got a pre-emptive, old man sense that's like, "You're a big softie now. Just start crying now."
But...the cynical comics nerd in me said, "Eh...kind of a ripoff of Amazing Spider-Man 248 'The Kid Who Collects Spider-Man,"' which is pretty great. There was also Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man Annual #1, which had a similar story, which hit a little harder for me. So maybe it's a generational thing. Every generation needs their "Spidey Makes a Wish" sort of story, I guess. Every 10-15 years someone's got to write a tear-jerker. Oh, and Spectacular Spider-Man 310, of course. Let's not forget that one.

Excellent little collection of smaller scale Spidey stories.

Absolutely stellar Spidey book. I'm glad that with Zdarsky no longer on Spectacular Spider-man, someone has taken up the mantle of wild but heartfelt Spidey stories.
Gorgeous art with a thrilling 1st arc introducing us to the neighborhood and a cast of new and returning characters. It ended with 2 very emotional stories, so have Kleenex handy.
