SUMMARY:
Featuring talent new to the Spider-Man mythos, Marvel Comics released this issue for July 2006. The two Spider-tales are “Heroes and Villains” and “Bride of the Lizard.”
“Heroes and Villains.” Writer/Illustrator: Klaus Janson, Colors: Steve Buccellato, and Letters: Dave Sharpe. In New York City, pre-teen skater Ethan is excited to show a skeptical new friend his Spider-Man collection, including action figures. More so, Ethan reveals his family’s own surprising connection to Spider-Man.
“Bride of the Lizard.” Writer: Merrrill Hagan, with Art by: Adam DeKraker, Cam Smith, Sotocolor’s A Street, & Dave Sharpe. While Spider-Man does what he can to help, Curt Connors’ wife, Martha, contemplates her troubled marriage after Dr. Connors becomes the Lizard yet again.
REVIEW:
Both tales are nice reads, but, in terms of storytelling, they’re frankly unremarkable. As far as visuals go, the best element is Jay Anacieto’s 3D-like cover image. Still, both art squads contribute solid work to help make Spider-Man Unlimited # 15 a satisfying-enough experience for Spider-fans of any age.
ADDITIONAL CONTENT:
The first page presents a brief cast list, credits, and quick bios for: Klaus Janson, Merrill Hagan, and Adam DeKraker.
BRIAN’S ODD MOON RATING: 6 Stars
