Aw, man. Ghost Rider forgot to wear clothes today. He must be so embarrassed. We begin with the new Spider-Man, who is thinking the original couldn’t fly or glide, but made this…

PPSM 1
The book they were calling Peter Parker: Spider-Man in November started as just Spider-Man, and I always thought of it as such. But this is Peter Parker: Spider-Man, and shall be PPSM…
ASM V2 1
Aaaand we’re back! Boy, I missed literally anyone writing Spider-Man but Byrne, who is obviously here as artist. If you didn’t recognize his art style, you could tell from Spidey’s eyes being…
