This was a good personal story for Peter. When one of his old friends Charlie Weiderman comes to him for his help and we learn more about how he was bullied in school and may have gotten in over is head and had done some not so good things and then how his present gets impacted and how he becomes the Vibranium man and goes after Peter who he thinks did this...it becomes a good story, so Pete has to find a way to stop him while questionings whether things he did were right or not. Also Iron Man gets involved and this takes us to the next part that will be the Civil War!

This helped wash the bad taste of the last volume out of my mouth, but it still wasn't as good as the early volumes. I was in to the the totem concept and all of the mystical stuff. I miss that. This was alright, but I always hate when writers invent a character then pretend he's always been around.

I get that this guy wrote a "great" tv series, but this was not all that great for me.....I can't see Peter Parker bullying another nerd...just felt way out of character.

This volume covers another story taken from Peter Parker's past; this time, a friend from high school comes back and asks for help--but things quickly take a turn for the worse. Peter is able to see what path he could have taken if he didn't have the support of his family and friends. There were a lot of emotional moments, and this marks a turn in Parker's story. There are also some really great layouts here; the art matches the epic fights that Spider-Man has in this volume.
