Amazing Spider-Man: The Parker Luck Review

Finished reading Amazing Spider-Man: The Parker Luck, this has Peter Parker back as the main Spider-Man after having his life taken over by Doctor Octopus during the Superior Spider-Man series. The book opens up with Spider-Man stopping a robbery after dealing with the press at Parker Industries, where Peter announces that he will stop supplying Spider-Man through the company as he tries to change the direction of the company after Doctor Octopus started it up a while ago. While in the middle of the fight Spider-Man's costume gets torn apart thanks to the powers of Skein causing him to web up some pants as everyone records the incident with his friends and the Avengers seeing what happens. Leading to Doc Ock's girlfriend Anna Maria to find out the truth when Peter tells her after watching the footage of the fight and the Avengers and Johnny Storm calling to meet Spider-Man to make sure he is who he claims to be. The second half of the book has Spider-Man getting caught up in the blast of the Watcher's eye during the events of Original Sin causing Spider-Man to learn that another person named Cindy Moon was bitten by the same spider that gave him his powers who was found out by Ezekiel when her power manifested, prompting Ezekiel to lock her up in containment cell to prevent the villain Morlun from ever detecting her. Until Spider-Man sets her free after telling Cindy that he defeated Morlun twice with him being killed on both occasions. As all of this is happening Black Cat is teaming up with Electro who is not in complete control of his powers as Black Cat ventures into life as a New York crime boss after being publicly humiliated by Spider-Man while Doc Ock was still in control. Overall this was a great book as it brings Peter Parker Spider-Man back into the frame once again. The comedic one liners and witty batter from Spider-Man is back along with a light tone of story and colour pallet from the art team that is associated with Spider-Man. The addition of Cindy and the new direction of Black Cat are both very intriguing while Black Cat's story is incredibly interesting with how she turned to a more villainous path. 8.5/10.
