Giant-sized Marvel team-up
This hardcover collects Issues #12-19 of the All-New Spider-Man, along with a short story from issue #1 and the Free Comic Book Day 2016 story. These were originally collected in two paperback volumes -Amazing Spider-Man: Worldwide Vol. 3Amazing Spider-Man Worldwide Vol. 4: Before Dead No MoreSpider-Man - Worldwide 3 - Power PlayThis story starts off so well, with Pete, Harry, MJ and Betty Brant all socialising, before descending into an out-and-out farce. It is a well-scripted and excellently illustrated story, but still a farce, if you slow down and think about it as you go. If you don’t, then it is actually an epitome of a Spider-Man story; your choice.Unfortunately for Pete, Tony Stark is also hanging around (MJ’s new boss) and he is really annoying Pete; and when he turns up to really annoy Spider-Man when he’s trying to train Spider-Man (the new one) a super-hero fight breaks out, as they so often do, setting the new villain off on his mission to save the world from super-powered threats.On the plus side - there is lots of “civilian” interaction, and it takes about 30 seconds for Betty, MJ and Harry to work out who the villain is, and for them to get involved with revealing him to the embattled heroes. There is a lot of wondering why the new villain seems so familiar (see Spider-Man: Renew Your Vows for why), and there are memory problems for Tony as well, though that could be for any number of reasons (is he still the Superior Iron Man, for instance?).On the minus side, it takes the villain about six pages to kidnap the entire superhero population, with the exception of Spider-Man 1 and Iron Man. I thought we’d got past that sort of thing back in the 1960s.THE SPOILER ZONETHE SPOILER ZONETHE SPOILER ZONEThe plot: a character called Regent pops up, who has got a secret underground lair, also known as the Cellar, New York’s new super-max prison. Here he is busy siphoning off the powers of supervillains to boost his own abilities. Soon he moves on the super-heroes, and even sooner, only Spider-Man and Iron Man are left standing. Then it is just Jarvis and MJ. Unfortunately, there are no spare Iron Man suits to hand, but there is an Iron Spider suit left over from ancient continuity…The short story from issue #1 introduces Regent to the current Marvel universe; the annual sees MJ “become” Spider-Man when Spider-Slayer Smythe Jr. mistakes her for Spider-Man’s secret identity. This latter story boosts the page count of the volume, as well as sort of tying-in to the denouement of the main plot.Spider-Man - Worldwide 4This volume serves to re-introduce the upcoming major villain the Jackal – Miles Warren – who was into cloning in a big way, but has now upped his game, as you will discover here. Co-incidentally, Doctor Octopus also makes his return – or at least, we get to find out the back story behind his occupancy of the Living Brain, and his subsequent eviction. Cloning, detached consciousnesses looking for a new home; where can this story possibly be going? Is there an anniversary coming up?The Free Comic Book Day story which opens this volume, while a story in itself, is also recapitulated throughout the main story, though you see the scenes from different points-of-view, so it is not simply chopped up and recycled.While Spider-Man continues down the Bat-Man route, with high-tech equipment and corporate jets and the like to enable bigger and better action scenes, the Parker Luck begins to rear its head, as Peter Parker’ run of success runs head-first into personal problems; where can this story possibly be going?This current series really has become a caricature of Spider-Man (who I have been reading since the beginning – I still remember the Living Brain’s first appearance), though the cartoony artwork does work well with the style of the story; but the world keeps turning and what worked fifty years ago is not what the market wants nowadays.I keep reading, however, because it is Spider-Man, after all.
