Since this is the start of a new Spiderman mini-series, this issue starts with a brief look into who Spiderman/Peter Parker is. That’s why this is a good place to start if you are new to the world of comics, and you like Spiderman. Anyways, the real action of this issue starts when we are [ READ MORE ]
