My first review subject will be of a trade of Spiderman issues by Peter David. Besides being a regular visitor to his website(would post a link but use Google people) The only things I have read by Mr. David are a few issue of his The Hulk and X-Factor and I enjoyed them but I was not a regular follower of any of his runs. Recently I also picked up a used copy of- Star Trek: A Rock And A Hard Place as my first Star Trek book purchase. That review may come around in about a month. Currently reading three other prose books.
The only Spiderman books I have bought since I started only buying trades a few years ago was J. Michael Straczynski's run on Amazing Spiderman. I consider his take on the character probably the best of my generation. Hard act to follow there.
Derailed, is a mix of stories and I enjoyed it. Even with a story with crazy alternate reality characters David captured drama storytelling and emotional depth which was no where in site in my view in Spiderman 3. Hey, I love it alone for "Bad Wolf" being on a alley wall in a Uncle Ben panel. Is David or one of the artists a Doctor Who fan? Or am I just a geek out seeing things into other things?
To finish this lack of a structured review, review, get use to it because that is how I write about a book or movie or something. My reviews tend to be more or less a, "It was good, it was bad or it was worth spending money on." Friendly Neighborhood Spiderman: Derailed was worth the money I paid for it. It is better than that sounds too, honest. I'm just not that great of a writer to put it in writing in a review. Shit the thumbs up thing is taken, what do you want? That's the best cheat when it comes to writing a review in the businese.
Next Review- Captain America: Civil War. That will be posted here next Sunday with a review following every Sunday utnil I get sick of doing them.
