I have enjoyed Big Time so far, and Dan Slott is killing it on this title. He brings in the classic element of Spidey that's been missing for years, as well as bringing in revamped villains, complex plots, and a Spider-Man we can relate to again (and other characters too for that matter).
If you haven't caught up, here's a brief summary I put together:
Recently, both Peter Parker and Spider-Man have hit the Big Time. Peter got a new job at Horizon Labs on the Think Tank and is tasked with making the next big thing. Spidey is on two Avengers teams, as well as being on the FF (Future Foundation), giving him access to a whole new set of allies. He also has a new girlfriend, Carlie Cooper, and a ton of money in his pocket to buy a new apartment that is strictly his.
But with this good change, there is also the bad. Old enemies have risen and are taking back their rightful places in Spidey's rogues gallery. The Sinister Six, led once again by the diabolical Dr. Octopus, are planning to take over the world. The Hobgoblin was even revamped into an insane psychotic murderer who almost let Spidey bite the dust, and Alistair Smythe, the Spider-Slayer, planned to kill everyone who was close to J. Jonah Jameson, and instead killed his beloved wife, Marla, almost forcing Spider-Man over the edge and declare that "no one dies".
In addition to all of this, he has also been hit by another huge death: the death of Johnny Storm, his best friend in the superhero biz, who was killed by Annihilus and his army. He has also been battered around in the Avengers groups by taking on Kang's interdimensional time-raid and Agamotto's dimensional take-over. He has also been busy helping the X-Men fight lizard creatures deep underground. So far, life for Peter has its ups and definetly its downs, but it's about to get a lot more stranger...
What do you guys think of Big Time in the future?
