REVIEW: Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man #6
Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man #6Publisher: Marvel
Writer: Peter David
Artist: Mike Wieringo
It has taken me a few days to get around to writing this review. In the last two weeks, I have only bought 4 comic books. There wasn't a whole lot that came out in that time that I was interested in. I actually read this one last Friday, but I haven't had much time to write anything. So, forgive me, but this review is not going to have much info related to plot - because I can't remember much about it.
Basically, Spidey battles that guy on the cover in a charity wrestling match that was set up by J. Jonah Jameson as a favor to the masked wrassler. The majority of the issue focuses on the fight and is relatively boring because when reading a 40+ year old title about a character that has been around that long, there is little room for anyone to believe that any fight will end with Spidey losing. I will say that if you are not a fan of the bone claws, this issue will likely further annoy you.
Wieringo's artwork is good. I must say that I am really enjoying that aspect of this title a lot. I didn't find this issue very entertaining. It would have been better served by focusing less on the fight and more on the character, but those aren't decisions I get to make. All in all this one was a letdown.
My Verdict: 5/10

hmh...bone claws...as good a term as any for this sort of endowment...sort of wondering where this might be leading?
Yeah, I forgot what everyone on line was calling them. They are more like bone daggers, but I think bone claws works.
"Where is this leading?" You ask? To a quarter bin near you in about 3 years.
I really don't think this will end up being a popular Spidey era with fans when all is said and done.
I wish they would work more on the nature of his Rebirth than on gimmicks,like X-men/Logan blade-envy....
One quick thing: art for that two-issue arc was done by Roger Cruz, not Weiringo. They have similar styles, but Weiringo is leagues ahead of him.
And bottom line: this Iron Spidey crap is a waste of everybody's time. I can't believe I slogged through "The Other" to get to this.
