This is a surprisingly decent Spider-man story that is a sort of Jason Bourne/James Bond spy-style-adventure. Its unusual for Spider-man but it works. Enjoyable. ( )

An okay story propped up by amazing painted art. The latter is truly amazing to look at, so if you like comic art more than you like story, you should pick up this book. ( )

Fascinating twist by forcing Peter Parker into a super spy story closer to James Bond. Liked the link to past & his spy parents even if the long lost sister bit was tough to swallow. Very fun read & beautiful artwork too ( )

The art is truly stunning; each panel would work as a piece of art hanging on the wall. ( )

An affecting and well-written one-shot story in which Spider-Man goes up against the Kingpin, teamed up with a federal agent who introduces herself as Teresa Parker -- the sister that Peter Parker never knew he had. Generally a taut and well-plotted story, with one or two plot holes. The strength of this story is in the questions and emotions Peter has regarding his dead parents, who were themselves federal agents. A particularly poignant moment comes when the Parkers' mentor in the agency is reminiscing to Peter about his parents, especially Richard Parker's habit of making jokes and wisecracks when danger was at its peak. "Can you imagine?", he says to a reflective Peter, who can indeed imagine. The artwork here is also quite nice, and fits the tone of the book. ( )
