This manga is absolutely wild, I must say, lol. Picture this: Spider-Man going on a killing spree, grappling with monstrous feelings due to his powers, getting excessively intoxicated by power, literally getting drunk, facing false rape accusations (and later contemplating committing the act), a Vietnam vet with PTSD hijacking an airplane, and so much more chaos.
I highly recommend it if you're in the mood for a laugh, as it presents a far crazier perspective on what happens when someone obtains superpowers.
On a more serious note, since the review calls for further elaboration, this isn't really about superheroes or even Spider-Man in the traditional sense. It's more akin to a regular manga featuring a protagonist who just happens to have powers, which makes the narrative wildly insane and hilarious because it involves "Spider-Man." The story delves into heavy themes that I didn't expect to encounter here. Every villain has a tragic backstory rooted in societal mistreatment, and even Spider-Man experiences moments of doubt regarding whether saving people is worth the effort. There's even a point where he contemplates allowing a virus to spread and eliminate everyone simply because he's weary of humanity.
I read this a while ago and decided to review it. The story begins with the same premise as the comics: Peter Parker and all that stuff.
History - As mentioned above, it's the same material from the comics and so on, but they wrapped it up in an epic way. It was really cool to see this adaptation, even though I'll still rate it a 6.
Characters - 7/10: They were pretty cool, and I liked the protagonist along with the secondary characters. Nothing less, nothing more.
Enjoyment - There were some dull, unbearable, and time-consuming parts, but there were also moments that gave me a nice feeling and were genuinely exciting.
Overall - 7: It was worth it, and I don't regret reading it. I would read it again if I had the patience. I recommend this manga.
