This was so cute! I really enjoyed the novelty of a superhero comic that operates on a smaller scale. I love me a good epic, don't get me wrong, but sometimes it's nice to see Spidey just living his life in New York. Not every superhero story needs to be a grand, world altering affair; it's really refreshing to see a solid, character-driven slice of life title like this.
Definitely gonna get current on this series. I've been needing a nice gateway back into Marvel proper and I think this might be it!

I've been lukewarm on Spider-Man for a while. Slott's run, including Superior Spider-Man, was too silver agey for my taste, and Nick Spencer's run has been ... fine. But there's more heart in this storyarc by Tom Taylor than I've encountered since the early days of [b:Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Vol. 1|3145384|Spider-Man Brand New Day, Vol. 1|Dan Slott|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1505583862i/3145384._SY75_.jpg|3176858].
I recommend any Spider-Man reader flip through this volume and see if it's to your taste. I think it's more than worth the time.

It would hurt to give this 4 stars because of the immense amount of great wholesome Spidey stories, but the underground NY bit was NOT it

This was a fantastic read. The art was up and down but I loved the storytelling and the premise of the series. Hoping the series stays around and keeps its focus.
The focus is on the characters, NYC, the individual, local trouble as opposed to huge galactic villains.
It reminds me of Web of Spider-Man from 20-30 years ago.

This is the lighter side of Spider-Man... until it isn’t. But it’s just amazingly well-constructed, has genuine humor and real heart.
One line made laugh out loud:
“Stilt-Man was behind all this?”
“Yeah, why?”
“He has the proportional abilities of a man with a convenient ladder.”
