20210627 Review - Spider-Man: Identity Crisis [Updated 20220817]

...

Underneath the masks\ Mistaken identities\ The true hero shines

#HAIKUPRAJNA - Spider-Man: Identity Crisis

...

The last trade paperback comic book that I read this month was "Spider-Man: Identity Crisis". The introduction explains that Spider-Man has been framed by Norman Osborn for murder, so Peter takes on four separate hero identities in order to find out which C-list villain is guilty and to clear the Spider-Man name. 

Difficult to rate this tpb because it collects issues from four Spider-Man series (Spider-Man, Sensational, Amazing and Spectacular) with individual stories that are supposed to be happening at the same time, but because of a number different writers (J.M. DeMatteis, Mike Wieringo, Glenn Greenberg, Jeph York, Tom Defalco, Howard Mackie and Todd Dezago) they feel nearly unrelated. I thought that the art was great from pencilers Joe Bennett, John Romita Jr., Mike Wieringo and Luke Ross. Can be a fun read for true fans of the character, as these stories cast a light on what makes Peter Parker able to carry out the individual heroics of his identities--including the webbed red-and-blue. I am currently reading the classic Lee/Ditko ASM now from #1, after having read other events like Maximum Carnage and Venom.

The poems that are based on my Goodreads reviews will be featured in a future edition of The HaikuPrajna Collection.
