And who doesn’t love seeing classic Spidey sporting a backpack (see the image at the top of the page)!īut what links everything is the heart and soul that is felt on every page. It’s not all doom and gloom though, as Zdarsky, ever the humorous and clever writer, creates some great visual gags, jokes, situations and one-liners. Just a mother, her son, and the impact Spider-Man had on their lives.

You won’t get any spoilers here, but the ‘main’ story that runs through this issue is pretty gut-wrenching and features not a single supervillain or super-crime. What unfolds is a story that runs a full gamut of emotions, from tragedy to action, to comedy and even suspense.

In just 28 pages Zdarsky, using a clever ‘documentary’ framework shows us Spidey through the eyes of a few people (including Peter Parker’s). And although he has written Spidey before (and it has been good and fun) Spectacular-Spider Man #310 is not only his best issue yet, it’s one of the best and purest Spider-Man stories you will ever read. What makes for a good Web-head tale is what’s under the mask Peter Parker. The creators who get what makes Spidey work know that it’s not the powers, or the origin, or even the Rogues Gallery (though Spider-Man does have some of the best villains in comics) that make for a good Spider-Man story. In the right creative hands, Spidey becomes infinitely relatable. Spider-Man, aka Peter Parker, has always been one of comics most enduring characters. Letters by: VC’s Travis Lanham “No matter what…he’s never going to stop trying” -Peter Parker When filmmakers set out to document Spider-Man’s impact on New York City, they couldn’t have predicted what was going to happen to them next. Chip Zdarsky writes, draws, colors and inks Spectacular Spider-Man #310, an emotional and heartfelt issue that perfectly captures what makes the old Web-Head such an enduring, inspiring and relatable character.
