PopCultHQ’s Comic Book Review:
THE PHILOSOPHY OF SPIDER-MAN
Face front, True Believers! It’s time to web-sling into action with a book unlike anything that has been put out there before! Chock full of wisdom and advice from everyone’s favorite Friendly Neighborhood Wall-Crawler! Not to mention it’s loaded with out of this world artwork! So strap on those web-shooters and get ready for one heck of a ride!
Writing: The writing in this book is on-point. The advice and nuggets of knowledge are the exact sort of thing one would expect from Spidey. From tips about fashion and family, to handling media critics, romance, and danger. Every page is cleverly written in a witty and snappy manner, as if penned by Spider-Man himself. Not one word will leave readers bored out of their gourd, but instead they will be hungry for more.
Art: Outstanding! Amazing! Spectacular! Just a few of the words that best describe the artwork housed within this fine book. All pulled from the many marvelous Spider-Man comics that have been published over the years. Each chapter of the book has art that corresponds with themes or advice being dished out. Not one panel feels out of place. The colors are just gorgeous, not overly garish or harsh on the eyes. They flow with the art and add a subtle, but welcome, touch that cultivates in a very visually pleasing palate for the readers.
PopCultHQ’s overall assessment:
Spider-Man is one of the most enduring and beloved characters in comics. His adventures have been chronicled, read, and enjoyed by readers since his first appearance in 1962. Its wisdom is the sort that could even apply to everyday life, crazy as it may sound. This book is a fun, engaging, and delightful read – suitable for fans of Spidey’s both young and old. This is a must-read for all who love the Wall Crawler!
