Product Description:
Peter Parker's life has hit a peaceful stretch. No evildoers have tried to flatten him in weeks, his marriage to Mary Jane is
stronger than ever, and he's enjoying his job as a high school
science teacher. Life is good.
Naturally, that doesn't last.
When Peter learns that his old enemy the Rhino is on a rampage in Times Square, he suits up as Spider-Man to stop the destructive villain in his tracks. But he's unexpectedly foiled in his attempts by the Black Cat, a former ally and old flame. The Cat informs Peter that the Rhino is just a distraction -- the real threat comes from a group of Ancients, members of the same race as the being called Morlun, who Spidey defeated in battle years earlier. The Ancients are now looking to exact revenge -- and hope to steal Spider-Man's life force in the process.
To defeat such powerful beings, Spider-Man is going to need all the help he can get, especially from the Black Cat. But what will Mary Jane Parker have to say about that? Peter isn't sure which is worse -- the Ancients trying to drain his life force, or the wrath of a jealous wife....

I've been a Spider-Man fan for years and Jim has done the web head total justice in this novel. JB's snarky style was perfect for Spidey.

I highly recommend!

This is pretty good, in fact, I like it more than the couple of Dresden files books out there.
After encountering the Rhino, Spidey learns that Morlun wasn't the only one of his kind, and there are three more of them coming. Luckily, he has help. The Black Cat is around, and doesn't want the Spider eaten, and Doctor Strange offers some sneaky help that isn't help, and a nice sandiwch thanks to Wong.
When the Rhino's employers, the Ancients, turn on him, and Spidey saves ... Read More

I have been aching to read another Spidey novel since the ones written in late 90s. I am a huge fan, however the last five years until J. Michael Straczynski wrote Amazing.
I knew of Butch from Dresden files, underrated show but worried how he'd write Spiderman especially knowing it would be a First-Person narrative! HOWEVER I was most thankfully surprised! He is a true fan and does Parker and the Spiderman universe and characters proudly!
I LOVED this book being different, ... Read More

Butcher works better with the meat of the Dresden Files,
though I liked his psychological insights into the marriage of
spider man. Unlike Jim Spider Man isn't my favorite hero. I prefer
Dr. Strange and luckily he is in this Spider Man. Thankfully there was enough fun to keep me going to the end.
