Product Description:
The human side of everyone`s friendly neighborhood Spider-Man takes center stage in this collection by hot talents Paul Jenkins and Mark Buckingham. After coming to grips with the second greatest personal tragedy in his young life, Peter Parker reexamines his life and role as Spider-Man. His friendship with fellow super hero the Human Torch is explored, and Spidey`s alter ego, Peter Parker, takes a stab at stand-up comedy. In addition, the wallcrawler must face down the sinister Sandman, but not with his fists, rather, he must face the hard reality that he may be responsible for his enemy`s fatally degenerative condition.
Funny and poignant, these tales put a humanistic spin on the life of the man behind the mask, a life that's not so much different than yours or mine.

After a 7-year hiatus, I've just started to get back into comics, particularly with the Spider-Man genre. After being blown away by the Ultimate Hardcover reprints and very impressed with JMS's "Coming Home" TPB, I decided that it was time to check out Jenkin's works from the other side of the current-continuity line.
However, what I found was quite disappointing. Instead the usual Spidey fare of intense and comical storylines, this book showed a very dark, depressing arc that focused ... Read More

Paul Jenkins does a great script job in these comics! It's smart, funny and it gives you a great idea of what the man behind the mask is really like.
