Product Description:
While trying to stop a robbery, Spider-man is blamed for the accidental shooting of an innocent bystander. This makes the web-slinger the perfect target for anti-super hero mayoral candidate Brian Timilty. However, Timilty is secretly the pawn of Tyler Stewart, a wealthy businessman seeking to take over New York's crime syndicates. Wanted by police and forced into hiding, Spider-Man must find a way to clear his name without being shot on sight. And that's when Electro and Rhino--two of his deadliest foes--arrive on the scene to complicate matters.

A 2007 Summer reading list mini review.
In Spider-Man: Wanted: Dead or Alive, Craig Shaw Gardner blends a well known character with effective (at times) story telling and a solid concept. Peter Parker AKA Spiderman is entangled in a web (sorry, I could not resist.) of intrigue as a New York mobster tries to fix a mayoral election.
While it is an enjoyable read for any fan of the web slinger, there is also much left to be desired. The pacing and the plotting flounder ... Read More

I love Spider-Man, but I've only read a couple of the comics. When I saw this book a few years ago, I thought it might be kind of stupid, but I'd give it a chance. I started reading it and definitely could not put it down. This book was AMAZING. I lost it somewhere in my house, and even though I already read it, I plan on buying it again so I can read it again. It's really that good. :) I highly recommend buying it if you enjoy books that keep your heart racing and leave you never wanting to put them ... Read More

Good story but one of the worst Spider-Man novels that I have read. I don't know what was going through the authors mind. He had a good story but the book lagged "puzazs!" The book dragged and the story jumped around between charactors every paragraph. I was truly dissapointed with this one.

My sister picked this book up for me about a week back, and I was interested to check into it, it being my first Spider-man novel. And boy, I was pleasently surprised. There is only so much one can do, with taking a comic-book character, and bringing it into a 300 page book. But Gardner really did a nice job of taking the usual characteristics of Spider-man, and adding some interesting new ideas.
This book has a solid plot, revolving around a mayoral candidate's tie-ins with a big crime-boss. ... Read More

I picked up this book with very high hopes. Since almost every other Spider-Man novel i've read were great, my expectations were to high for Wanted Dead or Alive. The plot is pretty lame at times, even darn right confusing. The Rhino shouldnt have even been brought into the story at all, since he served almost no pourpose to keep the action going, well, whatever little action you actually get to read. This is a poor excuse for a Spider-Man novel, it's collecting dust in my closet right now.
