The Spider #1 (spoilers)

[Manga4life]

Well, I got this issue in my mailbox today and sat down to read it this afternoon and man......this was BETTER than The Shadow #1 in my opinion! I loved how callous The Spider is, in one scene he ask's himself what gave him the right to kill the scum he was killing, and his answer was pretty damn blunt, it gave me chills down my spine. The interior art is okay, nothing spectacular but every bit as good as The Shadow, but the story was just so more engaging and really kept me flipping the pages until I got to the tragic ending, which sets up the 2nd issue in an epic way.

Home run Dynamite, HOME freakin' RUN!

The Spider is my favorite pulp character, The Spider is the character that got me into pulp stories, and because of that i'm really looking forward to this series!

My friend, you WON'T be disappointed. It's clever, well written, violent, driven, and artistically sound, I think you'll like what Dynamite has done with your favorite character and I'm hoping this book ends up being a huge success.

well then cheers mate!

Jae Lee? He's a good artist, but why did you pick someone random like Jae Lee? Any which way, the interior art is pretty damn good and I think it's every bit as good as The Shadow #1 was in the art department, it's not like David Finch or Tony Daniel good, but it's pretty darn good for a title such as this. It just fits.

Yeah, this was a good start, and I agree it is better than the Shadow also better than all 5 dc books I bought this week, don't know if I can say it was better than the new DD though but still worth checking out for anybody.
