This is a follow-up of sorts to Marvel’s previous excursion into Mother Goose land: "X-Men Fairy Tales". From what I’ve read so far, the arachnid version is no better. I’m not exactly sure what audience this is meant for. The book is rated for ages 9 and up. Yet there’s really nothing in here that would ruffle any feathers. The adult readership will shun it because of the style and the kids aren’t really interested in fairy tales anymore unfortunately. So what we’re left with is a cipher. The story is a take on Little Red Riding Hood and melds the Spidey mythos rather awkwardly into a very dull mish-mash of cliché and attempts to be witty. The book fails on nearly every level. The art is highly stylized but not very effective or original. The writer C.B. Cebulski never once tries to bend or stretch the original Riding Hood story. It all happens as you remember it except for the fact the Peter Parker and his cast of characters are now involved. This book is like a slice of white bread; untoasted, unbuttered, unjellied. In a word, bland. Somebody pass me some mayo. Stat!
