    Amazing Spider-Man #9: 'Spider-Verse' kicks off with style.

    After months of teases and tie-ins, ‘Spider-Verse’ officially kicks off and it’s a heck of a start. I haven’t been following along with Amazing Spider-Man (I did, however, read the Edge of Spider-Verse series), but Slott makes it easy for readers new and old to jump in and get swept up in this multidimensional tale. As Morlun continues his hunt for Spiders, a myriad of Wall-Crawlers and Web-Slingers (including Spider-Man 2099, MC2 Spider-Girl and Peter Porker, the Spectacular Spider-Ham) meet up with Peter Parker and prepare to band together. Coipel’s art is sensational, blitzing the action beats and nailing the quieter character moments; my only complaint is that Peter is often shouting, yelling or being confused over information the reader already knows (names of characters, him being the Bestest Spider-Man Ever (TM)) but that’s a minor thing. It’s wonderful to witness so many Spider-Men and Women coming together, and I cannot wait to see where ‘Spider-Verse’ is heading.

      PlotI really can't say more than that this is the gathering of the Spider-Men.......or ,in a better way, "how Peter Parker from the Earth 616 learned what the hell was going on.".....yeah,that's better.Thoughts"The Writing is strong in this one."Jokes landed well,everything was pacey,and in the right direction.First of ,finally an issue actually written by Dan Slott and not his trusty sidekick,Christos Gage.........It was exciting for all these Spider-Men and women to meet Peter,i'm not gonna l...
