Amazing Spider-Man, Vol. 1.1: Learning to Crawl, by Dan Slott, Ramón Pérez

2.0



Why is it necessary to re-write Spider-man's origin? Also, how does it even make sense? On one hand the illustrations and character design is very retro, poorly mimicking the 1960's style. On the other hand we have the internet, youtube, and cell phones. Also the artwork for CLASH, the new and unnecessary villain, is very Spider-Gwen New school with load vibrant colors. I guess you could say it "clashed" and maybe that was the point, but it bothered me the entire time. Purposeful or not it was nonsensical and did I mention UNNECESSARY?!

Secondly, why is Peter Parker an asshole? He is just a completely unlikable selfish jerk until about the last 5 pages.

Lastly, this whole story could have been told in two issues instead of dragging it on and on and on and on. Uncle Ben is dead and Peter is sad because Uncle Ben is dead which makes Peter sad because Uncle Ben is dead....
