MARVEL'S SYNOPSIS:
All Peter Parker wanted to do was catch a movie with some friends... but NO! Instead, he's got to save the city from a legion of lizards set loose by the sinister Serpent Society! And if that wasn't enough, one of his oldest foes is ready to rampage through the streets of NYC all Godzilla-style! Sometimes being a super hero really bites -- with big pointy fangs!

BO'S REVIEW:
This month’s installment of MA: Spider-Man should appeal more to young boys than young girls since the book has the Lizard as the villain. We start out with Spidey fighting the Lizard and learn that this version isn’t the one we know. In fact there is a whole mess of Lizard’s here and that’s due to the Serpent Society. The fast paced story bounces from silence to slimy from page to page and we even get a giant lizard/Spidey battle when it’s all over. Jonboy Meyers seems to be having a lot of fun here. His Spidey has a larger than normal head which gives the book a manga feel. The story also has a sub plot involving Peter being asked to do something with the cool kids and that something should induce a few chuckles.

MARVEL'S SYNOPSIS:
When Peter Parker's biology class goes on a field trip to a popular aquatic theme park, Pete can't wait for a day full of water, whales and walruses. But our hero never expected to find himself face-to-fin with an Atlantean villain determined to release the park's animal inhabitants back to the freedom of the ocean! Looks like Spidey is in DEEP trouble!

BO'S REVIEW:
This fun little issue (the MA books have a tendency to be entertaining) takes place in a Sea World like amusement park that Peter and his class visit on a field trip. One of the attractions here is a killer whale and Orka, the semi-lame Sub-Mariner villain drops by to free his brother from captivity. The slick and shiny artwork keeps the story moving and Sumerak makes perfect use of the storytelling adage ‘never introduce something unless you plan to use it later’. Approaching this book from an adult perspective makes you realize that as villains go Orka isn’t a very interesting one but if you look at him from a child’s eyes then he actually is. This issue is a quick read but as I said it’s a fun one.

MARVEL'S SYNOPSIS:
A night at the museum becomes a complete cat-astrophe when a feline femme fatale procures a priceless piece of Native American art. But the fur really begins to fly when the beautiful Black Cat is caught in the perilous pounce of the Puma! Looks like we've got ourselves a cat fight, Spidey...and you're caught in the middle! (Watch out for hairballs!)

BO'S REVIEW:
The stories told in Marvel Adventures are always pleasant and this is no exception to the rule. Here young audiences are introduced to the Puma, the Native American hero/villain and reintroduced to the Black Cat. Sumerak’s premise is simple. Peter Parker is sent to cover an exhibit of Native American art by Jonah as a counter point to what he usually wants Peter’s pictures for. The assignment brings Peter in contact with Thomas Fireheart (Puma), that contact brings in the Black cat to steal his totem and from there we are on. Villagrasa shows a talent for action sequences here and the story is light and breezy. This book is for the younger crowd but is enjoyable for everyone.

MARVEL'S SYNOPSIS:
Start your engines, Spider-Fans, because Peter Parker is about to hit the highway on one of the most exciting adventures of his young life -- Midtown High's Driver's Ed course! But the road to four-wheeled freedom becomes bumpy when the monstrous Man-Bull stampedes through the city streets! It's high-octane hijinks at the speed of Spidey! Written by Mark Sumerak with art by Ryan Stegman.

BO'S REVIEW:
This month’s offering for the little ones has Peter trying to get his driver’s license. We start out with Peter seeing himself as the coolest guy in school with wheels before he realizes that he is dreaming. Once the story returns to the ‘real world’ we see Peter taking a spin out on the road with his teacher but since this is a comic we know that his alter ego has to become involved. The story is light and breezy and will entertain kids.
