PETER PARKER, TERESA DURAND and J. JONAH JAMESON will attempt to save the future…by fighting for it IN THE PAST! But will their time-traveling gamble pay off or only alter the course of history for the worse?
Chip Zdarsky is a Canadian comic book artist and journalist. He was born Steve Murray but is known by his fan base as Chip Zdarsky, and occasionally Todd Diamond. He writes and illustrates an advice column called Extremely Bad Advice for the Canadian national newspaper National Post's The Ampersand, their pop culture section's online edition. He is also the creator of Prison Funnies and Monster Cops.
Like this entire run by Zdarsky, this volume was up and down, wrapping up the time travel story from the previous volume and then following that with a one-off updating the Sandman, and then a really nice send off single issue.
Looking back on Zdarsky's run, it's clear he loves Spider-Man, because above all else, the reader always knew that Peter is a selfless hero who always cares about others and puts them before himself. There were some pretty high highs in this run, most notably the new relationship between Peter and Jonah and those interactions were gold, although it did wear thin by this volume. Some of the time travel stuff was really fun, and some of it, well, wasn't. The stories stay mostly 'light' and not too grim, but still represents the depth of guilt that Peter carries with him always. Overall, it's an excellent read.
