Spider-Man Life Story by Chip Zdarsky is an else worlds tale featuring Spider-Man. The idea
here addresses what would happen if Spider-Man aged in real time starting in
1962 when he is fifteen and ends 57 years later with the last mission. Each
issue in the book covers a decade of Peter Parker’s life.
Featuring a variety of characters, it helps if you are
highly familiar with the spider-man mythos. Since the characters are depicted
the way they were in the 1960s, certain characters behave radically different
then the versions many readers are familiar with in this current climate. An example
of this is how Iron Man of today is far, far more heroic than originally
depicted.
The story is really good and so is the art. However, this
story is not new reader friendly as it uses Marvel history and a ton of
characters. In so doing, it uses the classic depictions of these characters and
they are far different than what folks are used from the movies and recent
comics under a variety of authors. Spider-Man Life Story by Chip
Zdarsky is a bittersweet story that I enjoyed a lot.
