He’s confronted the deaths of family and friends – but how will the passing of a fellow hero rock the Wall-Crawler? We know we’re being secretive about these FALLEN SON issue descriptions, but it’s Jeph Loeb, David Finch (NEW AVENGERS) and Spider-Man all dealing with life’s greatest foe – so you know it’s going to rock!

Spider-man is trying to cope with yet another major loss in his life. He visits the grave of his Uncle Ben seeking answers when his spider-sense goes off. The Rhino is standing right behind him. Before he knows what to do a fight breaks out between the two, both believing the other was following him. Spider-Man just happened to need some form of solace on the same night the Rhino was trying to visit the grave of his mother. Rhino goes crazy when Spider-Man accidentally causes him to break his mother's grave, at which point it is far too late for him to simply apologize and leave.

Spider-Man is barely able to get the upper hand on the Rhino when Wolverine steps out of the shadow, commenting on how poorly Spider-Man was doing. From there the pair travel to another grave site for Spider-Man: the bridge where the Green Goblin killed Gwen Stacy. Wolverine tries to comfort Parker, knowing full well what Peter is going through. When all of the dust settles Spider-Man is able to do little more than gain a small understanding of the depression that is lingering inside of him, putting Marvel one step farther through the grieving process of Captain America.

Amber's take on it and what her hubby thinks too 0

It just doesn't seem likely that Wolverine would lecture Spider-Man on the definition of "depression." I could see him following Spidey just to make sure he's ok but that whole conversation they had was just weird and hokey like the other editions have been. At least they're consistent in their hokiness.On the plus side, the flashback of how Cap saved Spidey one day as the current Spidey was fighting the Rhino was damn brilliant!As for the art, the heavily lined renditions weren't my particular ...

Very strong emotional comic. 0

In the light of everything that's happened to Peter during and after the civil war, his life is coming to all time boiling point. With Aunt May on the death bed and Captain America gone, Peter feels as though his world is falling apart... and maybe it is.(spoilers abound)The whole graveyard scene was very brilliantly drawn and portrayed. You could feel Spider-man's sadness come through the pages. As for having the Rhino show up "visiting his mother" was a little odd, but it was nice to see an ol...

Spidey, kneeling down in the rain, with a shield arching near his back. The sentiment alone of the cover already details how much this loss is affecting him, along with the rest of the world. Visiting his loved ones, another isnt far behind, and a bump in with an old foe. For one the art and writing have a momentum, and dont hesitate, as we see what goes on in Peter's mind that very second. In addition, his talk with Logan heals a few wounds, and opens and old one as they visit a memorial for so...
