Scarlet Spider
Firstly i have to appologise for the lack of posts to the teams blog, the fact of the matter is that with me (loz) and ross being at work experience and jono being in his last term of Journalism for the year were all swamped with work and thats why i wanted to create a couple of short posts to keep the site going.The first of these is gonna be focused around my latest addiction regarding comic books, i cant stop reading them and to be honest one of the main culprits within my reading is "The Scarlet Spider" which has gotten outstanding reviews due to its darker style of writing and composure it breathes freshness into the marvel scene.
The writer of the new Scarlet Spider series Chris Yost spoke of the series being almost brand new due to the fact that it assumes that the reader has no knowledge of the scarlet spider of the past:
"You don’t need to know anything to pick up Issue #1. We explain how he got here and who he is the best we can in the first few pages. We’re really doing our best to be fresh with it. I mean, this is a character with all of this history and crazy baggage, and you don’t need it. This is a guy, and he’s starting a new life. That's all you need to know."
I cant recommend this series anymore and if your looking to get into comics and the idea of an anti hero interests you then i highly recommend you go for Th Scarlet Spider and i gaurentee you wont be disappointed
Rating: 9/10
