When it comes to superhero comics, I'm really more interested in the clash between the heroic personas and the civilian identities than the world-saving. Which is really missing the point, I know.
Peter Parker, true to it's name, follows Peter Parker as he tries to deal with life, bills and self-worth. The first four issues had a spider-girls subplot I was embarrassingly into and all the books tied together. It may just have been me, but I found the plot resolution about the Spectrum hilarious. The last issue, however, took a complete deviation and I'm not entirely sure what that was about. Pretty sure I'm missing out on stuff there and was that Mary-Jane?
Sigh. I don't know what the comics industry has against happily married couples.

Good dialogue from Bob Gale but not sure any of these stories even slightly matter. Pat Ollife's art is fantastic as usual. A decent read but utterly pointless.

This volume collects the 5 Spider-Man digital comics produced, falling somewhere between #604 - 612 in current continuity. The main story is fun, introducing the Spider-Girls. There's a bit of a farce as they become entangled with a minor celeb, JJJ and the new Anti-Spider-Squad (or ASS as Spidey keeps calling them). The scenes with Spectrum were fun, allowing some great compositions and colour schemes and the general focus in on a fun, light hearted tale. The back up single issue tale is frankly a bit crap, despite a brief Ben Grimm cameo (would Peter really call him Thing?). The story is weak, not fully explained or explored and has no satisfying conclusion. Poor. Still, for collectors it's a reasonable volume to stick in with the others.

I thought it was interesting that this story was originally designed for digital presentation on the Web. Now I'm curious about how that differed from the trade paperback.
