Oh golly gosh, there's no describing how this can hit you in the feels. If you haven't picked up a copy, I highly recommend that you do so. I'm thinking from reading it that it'll be another Spider-Man origin story but it's a really twisted alternative take to it.
From the beginning of the issue, the emotion just hits high straight off the bat with a fall of a hero and the death of a beloved character. There's an interesting placement of a stuffed rabbit which forms of a foreshadowing of what's to come. I found this to be a subtle but great motif to the tragic ending of the character (which is absolutely shocking how they die and what is done to them after).
The dramatisation of the beloved characters rides high straight off the bat of the beginning. I guess what hits home for me is seeing a hero so powerless but in iterations, I've seen in the past it seems so out of place, but this fits in nicely. There's a shocking event that happens at the beginning that is really messed up and subtly hinted by the placement of a ragged rabbit doll foreshadowing what is to come. It comes to a character that I find to love from my childhood and it just seems so surreal to see it happen abruptly.
The writing and styling work beautifully together such as from the beginning, there is less speech which makes for a higher impact of the build-up to the scene or when Peter and Ben Parker are having a heart-to-heart with overlapping speech bubbles to show the rapid-line fire of exchanges.Subscribe? Yaaaassss!
I love a good Spider-Man origin so will see how the characters shape up in the series!
