FROM THE CRITICS
Children's Literature - Ellen Vartanoff
This early reader, another in the series of Spider-Man movie tie-ins, is more of a day in the life of a super-hero, stopping robberies and muggings remarkably easily, with no aftermath, literally jumping from one scene to the next without true solutions. It is meant to be read by parent and child together, and as such, one would hope that the adult would explain and embellish the bare bones presentation. The last eight pages are the most balanced of the episodes, mostly because the episode is paced properly, unfolding in full. Once again, Ron Lim does a quality job on the art, which is integral to the format; but where did they come up with brick textures on both the red and blue portions of his costume? Even in Todd MacFarlane's strange and nit-picky exaggerated style of the 1990s, I wasn't as distracted by a detail such as this. 2002, HarperFestival/HarperCollins,
