I'm still amazed at how the writer was able to tie this story to the latest event storyline that Marvel is brewing. I'm wary of events and event fatigue but this was well done.
The Symbiote Spider-Man is technically past continuity, but the writer was still able to make it interesting by using characters not usually associated with Spidey, like Kang, Black Knight, and Rocket Raccoon. I'd read m0re of this if I can avoid the event.

Quindi, a quanto capisco questo "Symbiote Spider-Man" del buon Peter David è una serie ambientata nel passato, all'epoca del costume nero di Spider Man.
Ed essendoci il costume nero, ecco questa miniserie collegata a King in Black (si fa per dire, visto che una è nel presente e l'altra nel passato. Ma Mister E. cita il fatto che questi... simbonti dell'oscurità?, tutti loro servono il loro Dio. Quindi immagino possa fungere da antefatto).
Interessanti anche la comparsa di Kang (deciso a salvare l'universo... affronterà Knull nel passato?), Uatu (cosa ha visto?) e Rocket Racoon, oltre al Cavaliere Nero pronto a salvare la situazione (del resto, chi non si trova casualmente a passare dal manicomio criminale in sella al suo cavallo volante, giusto in tempo per intervenire e aiutare Spider-Man a lottare contro queste creature d'ombra?)
Vediamo come procede...

This book was kinda meh. Just barely being ok. The best part was who showed up on the last page.

This was a good start which shows us what’s to be expected of the series and for the rest of the issues. Kinda bummed that it’s going to be full of guest appearances, but I like what I read and the artwork is great.
The really nice thing here is that it’s fun to read and that it’s building a story for Knull throughout the history of the marvel universe.
Still waiting for Peter David to disappoint.

Es un 2.5 Más que nada por la forma de escribir a los personajes y los hechos, la sentí muy simple y sin profundidad. El .5 es por quien aparece al final je
