Gr 1-4–Our friendly neighborhood Spider-Man, along with his equally friendly pigeon named Mark, are attempting to recover several important items, from Namor’s medallion to Shang-Chi’s ring and Moon Girl’s dog. But the fact that Spider-Man and his heroic friends keep shrinking further and further into the Quantum Realm only complicates things! The story and action sequences feel shortened, relying more on the cameos, callbacks, and constant background changes to carry the piece. However, this book is big on laughs and charm, and is sure to be a hit for fans of the animated Into the Spider-Verse movie. Sharp line work and bright colors make the characters pop, while the shifting perspectives (as the book needs to be turned around multiple times) is a nice touch. The items hidden in the background, such as Loki’s helmet, are also a great selling point for repeat readers or Easter egg hunters.
VERDICT This Marvel title is sure to please with big laughs and fun.
