Amazing Spider-Man: Family Business Review

1. 

Finished reading Amazing Spider-Man: Family Business, this follows Peter Parker as he travels around the world discovering more about his parents while being hunted down by the Kingpin and his forces. The book opens up with New York's former kingpin of crime, Wilson Fisk in Tunisia as he recruits Mentallo after having him locked up inside a local asylum. Months later in New York Peter Parker is outside his local market hoping to pay his energy bill only for the shop to be closed after Spider-Man stops an illegal shipment of stolen laundry detergent outside of the shop causing the police to investigate. Back at home Peter is suddenly apprehended by several armed gunmen who end up losing Peter when he breaks the rope that was hoisting him to the gunmen's helicopter causing him to land inside a car being driven by a woman called Teresa Parker who claims to be his sister. After the two escape from their pursuers Teresa takes Peter around the world hoping to find out who's after them and why, while Teresa tries to learn about the sort of people her parents were. Overall this was a good book as it takes Spider-Man to a different backdrop without losing any of the charm of the character. The mystery of Teresa is enticing while the Kingpins motives and how he executes his plan is very intriguing. The art work is amazing as it helps to emulate the story and works well with the spy theme of the book as well as the fight scenes which are executed extremely well. 7.5/10.
