Peter Parker: Spider-Man #27-28 & 30-34 Review is snagged from M.E. Grant The McGyver of Books! Paul Jenkins presents four storylines in Spiderman: One Small Break...one of them is good. I'm a huge fan of Spidey but he has been portrayed in a much better style (both plotwise and artistically) look no further than J. Michael Straczynski's Spiderman: Homecoming for a perfect example. Jenkins stories seem to slide back-and-forth between serious and cartoonish way too easily the artwork only emphasizes the cartoonish nature. The storylines presented here cover Peter Parker: Spiderman issues #27-28 and 30-34. They include... Spiderman battling his arch-enemy Stromm...and then being placed into a situation where he has to decide 'Is it right to kill someone if thousands of future lives will be saved' Interesting question but it could have been presented in a much stronger light. The villain of Stromm is also not one of the stronger antagonists that Spidey has battled. Spiderman battling a revenge hungry foe called Fusion. This storyline takes several interesting turns the most interesting being when Spiderman receives that 'One Small Break' of the title's name. Overall an average outing but there was plenty of untapped potential. The best storyline of the bunch (and the only one worth reading in this collection) is a story dealing with Peter Parker (not Spiderman) and his past relationship with his Uncle Ben. The story focuses around an annual attendance of a Mets game and it works on several levels. Again there is some cartoonish nature that detracts from it and keeps it from reaching a 'Best of...' level but overall this one is a great read. A silly and stupid and underdeveloped story about a man cursed with dangerous powers and who is being chased by some friendly monks (in the Monk-Mobile!). UG! Why was this story written in the first place...much less included in a TPB What a waste of space and it doesn't say much if this is the higher level of story to be included into a mainstream TPB. If you're 'Jones-ing' for a Spiderman read then you may want to pick up One Small Break. But if you want to read Spidey in some of his top storylines then look for other TPB's available such as: The Death of Gwen Stacy Power and Responsibility or Untold Tales of Spiderman you'll have a better time there.
