Review: Deadly Neighborhood Spider-Man #1

Posted on October 22, 2022 by pharoahmiles

As much as superhero origins are lauded, they often feel like they are also well worn. The “orphan “ trope has been used in the genre for decades. It has been recycled and remixed to make fans buy into the protagonist’s story and change things slightly. This more imbues us to them, we may find ourselves within pieces of their stories.

That is primarily why we make certain allowances for them when they do things that are morally questionable. As the way Batman deals with villains, is more than vigilantism, its street justice. One wonders if Spider-Man had been borne of such a savage atrocity, would he be forgiven? In Deadly Neighborhood Spider-Man #1, we find out what happens if that spider bite turned Peter insane?

We find Spider-Man as he has been having lucid dreams which blend reality and the supernatural, often making him question everything and everyone. He eventually looks to research the answer at a research laboratory in Los Angeles to understand what has been happening to him. As he finally deduces that his waking nightmares are tied to a rock that he discovered, while saving people as Spider-Man. By the issue’s end, he discovers that the rock he found is more than something that causes hallucinations but something otherworldly.

Overall, Deadly Neighborhood Spider-Man #1 is a different take on everyone’s favorite web slinger. The story by Taboo is powerful. The art by the creative team is awesome. Altogether, a story those fans will soon not forget.
