![]() ![]() Peter struggles with dark thoughts: his own and the symbiote’s… And even then, the stress seems to be making him a bit edgy. Our hero is unraveling mentally, and the only respite he seems to get is when he puts his newly acquired duds on and goes out superheroing. His aunt isn’t speaking to him, his girlfriend can’t cope with his double life and he’s having feverish nightmares more frequently all the time. We meet a younger Peter at a time when his life is moreso in shambles than usual. This book delves into Peter Parker’s time wearing the Black symbiote costume after the Secret Wars (the first one) and ponders what would happen if he’d kept wearing it and leaned into some of his nastiest instincts. Spider-Man: Spider’s Shadow is a pretty entertaining throwback to the good old What If days. Sure, we have the occasional Big Two multiversal hijinks becoming more common all the time, but that’s nothing compared to a good old fashioned look at what could have happened at key points in Marvel history. One thing I miss as an elder millennial comic reader is the “What If?” era. ![]() Writer: Chip Zdarsky / Artist: Pascal Ferry / Marvel Comics ![]()
