It's not a bad reboot of the character, getting to start from ground zero (sort of) allows you to take the character in new directions. I did enjoy that we get a lot of the classic Spider-Man snark in this. We also get to see how Peter is dealing with the fallout after Civil War, and we all know what happened when he revealed his identity to the world. So.
I have read some of Dan Slott's later Spider-Man stuff, and I do really enjoy him as a writer. Overall, the art in this was pretty well done, too. Not the worst I've seen so far. Just another volume on my quest to read alllll the Spider-Man!

The beginning of the Dan Slott era. Okay but not great. The whole feel of the book is kind of disconcerting (and not a little annoying); the new editors are trying for a Stan Lee feel and they just don't get it. Worse is to come, of course, as Slott's story lines become more and more obscure. Sad to think this was the beginning of the end.
