Rated “T”
Spider-Man created by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko
There have been at least three prior series to start with the title, The Amazing Spider-Man, to say nothing of all the comics published as Spider-Man #1. In fact, there was The Amazing Spider-Man #1 launched by writer Dan Slott and artist Humberto Ramos just last year.
With the arrival of the “All-New All-Different Marvel,” The Amazing Spider-Man starts over, again with writer Dan Slott; artists Giuseppe Camuncoli (pencils) and Cam Smith (inks); colorist Marte Gracia; letterer Joe Caramagna; and cover artist Alex Ross.
The Amazing Spider-Man #1 opens in Shanghia. Why? Because Spider-Man has gone global, that's why. Spider-Man and Mockingbird are trying to receive the secure servers of Parker Industries (P.I.), which contain critical data concerning P.I.'s “Webware” Internet app/browser/provider. An adversarial entity calling “The Zodiac” is the culprit, but another, far more dangerous villain is lurking in the shadows.
I totally dug The Amazing Spider-Man 2014, mainly when Dan Slott and Humberto Ramos were the creative team. Yes, it is only one issue, but I am not as excited by The Amazing Spider-Man 2015. Still, the last page will make sure I come back, and I must say that, in general, I find Dan Slott to be one of the best Spider-Man comic book writers that I have had the pleasure of reading.
B+
