Description

Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, Vol. 1: Derailed (v. 1) Paperback
by Peter David (Author), Roger Cruz (Illustrator), Michael Weiringo (Illustrator)

Hold onto your webs, spider-fan! A major character from Peter Parker’s past returns! Meanwhile, is that the Hobgoblin terrorizing the skies? And if so, how is he connected to the shocking changes in Spider-Man’s life? Continuity fans better break out their back issues, because both Spidey’s past and future will change when an old (and unexpected) foe executes his master plan!

Plus: Presenting “Weblog,” an off-beat Spidey tale that starts at the very beginnings of Spider-Man’s career and goes all the way through to the distant future… as seen through the eyes of a woman who is convinced that the web-slinger has been stalking her her entire life. And finally, think Spider-Man doesn’t have to worry about death anymore, having escaped its grasp in “The Other?” Think again, as – years after his origin – Spider-Man finds himself back in the ring, squaring off against a masked wrestler whose name literally means “Death”… and for good reason!

Derailed has a retelling of certain events from a “What If” Ben didn’t die and if May died instead. Then we have a wrestling story.

Oh and the first one shot story about a blogger posting about being followed by spider-man her whole life. I Enjoyed the one shot actually. A bit dark at the end but worked out really well if you ask me. I also thought the Ben story had moments, particularly the start and end, that made it pretty dang intriguing throughout. What does Uncle Ben think about Aunt May dating Jarvis, the Avengers’ butler? I also enjoyed the character design for the Hobgoblin from the future!
