Amazing Spider-Man: Worldwide Review



Finished reading Amazing Spider-Man: Worldwide, writer Dan Slott continues his run with the character as Spider-Man is now a worldwide superhero as in the months since Secret Wars, Parker Industries has been able to rebuild and grow into a global company that even supplies S.H.I.E.L.D which new technologies. The book opens up with Spider-Man and Mockingbird in the middle of a car chase with a couple of members of Zodiac who have stolen equipment from the Parker Industries building in Shanghai. After capturing the villains Spidey takes Mockingbird back to his offices for a press conference before he has to head to San Francisco for a wedding with his former colleagues for Horizon Labs which is interpreted by another group of Zodiac members who steal Peter's Webware device that leads to him and Prowler to track down were his device is which leads to the two discovering other Zodiac bases and with Spider-Man and S.H.I.E.L.D hoping to use this information in bring an end to the organisation. Overall this was a great book as it gives Spider-Man a new status quo as a business CEO and a worldwide hero but doesn't take away any of Spider-Man's character traits. There is an amazing amount of comedy throughout the book which constantly hits its mark thanks to Spider-Man's interactions, the way the villainous Zodiac organisation are and the way the the book is structured as it sometimes randomly cuts to an advert selling Parker Industries products which is an example of the great timing the comedy has. Giuseppe Camuncoli art is great as not only does Giuseppe Camuncoli showcase some great action and even some great emotion in parts. But the art does a great jobs in bringing to life the multiple cities that is strengthen thanks to the rest of the art team. 8.5/10.
