Reviews

[James · Rating 5 out of 5]

The art style is very cartoonish but it does make for some interesting characters.

Reprints Marvel Age: Spider-Man #9-12. Spider-Man battles the Enforcers, Dr. Octopus, and Mysterio. Marvel Age stories were retellings of the original Amazing Spider-Man stories but with more cohesion and for younger readers. The stories are simple and entertaining, but Ultimate Spider-Man is a more interesting retelling of the Spider-Man origin.
