This “Young Readers Novel” takes place shortly after Peter
Parker was bitten by a radioactive spider and acquired the superpowers that he
chose to put to use to fight crime as the Amazing Spider-Man. While Spider-Man
is still learning how to use his powers, out-of-work scientist Adrian Toomes
dons his flight suit to rob a bank as the supervillain the Vulture. Peter
Parker is also struggling to help Aunt May pay their rent to avoid getting
evicted. Spidey battles the Vulture over New York City in this exciting second
installment in a series full of the web-slinger’s characteristic wit and
crime-fighting moves. All written by Joe Caramanga, who is no stranger to
writing for Marvel superheroes, this series is an excellent transition for
readers making the shift from comic books to novels. Caramanga and the rest of
the creative team have backgrounds in comics and they do a great job
translating comic book-types of stories into short but full novels. The books
include a brief comic version of the novel at the end of the book as well to
further aid in the transition.
