I didn’t think much of Bagley’s Uncle Ben, who’s got a naff ponytail for some reason, and his Green Goblin is ridonkulously ‘roided out so he looks more like the Hulk villain Abomination. While Bendis’ writing and Mark Bagley’s art are both fine, there’s not a whole lot here to hold the attention of someone like me who saw the first Sam Raimi Spider-Pants movie gawd knows how many times, not to mention read multiple versions of the origin in the comics. And then decides to punch Norman Osborn who’s transformed himself into the Green Wheelie Bin! Saddle up, buckaroos - it’s another re-telling of the Petey Parker/Spider-Pants origin story! Brian Bendyman goes through the well-worn checklist: nerdy bully-magnet Peter gets bit by a magic spider, gets superpowers, doesn’t use them to stop crime, loses his Uncle Ben (the non-rice guy), and learns that With Great Blahblah Comes Blah Blahblah.
