I read the first volume of this years ago and was intrigued by why these two characters were causing a war across almost all the universe and this one explains it a lot more. They are from rival sides of a war and Marko was Alana's prisoner after he handed himself in. They grew closer and she eventually helps him escape his imprisonment. Fast forward a while and almost every assassin in the galaxy is after them. They get interrupted by Marko's parents who cause havoc for a while and we see a few childhood scenes.
I do quite like this series but it isn't grabbing me as much as the other recent Graphic Novel I read is. I'm intrigued as to what's going to happen in the end and if the trio will survive and win the war against everyone who's gunning for them.

Actually rather less graphic and icky than the film's reputation (and advertising) might suggest; the really spectacularly gory bits bookend the movie, and much of the rest of it looks like a relatively conventional thriller. The film is arguably ahead of its time in its suspicion of the military-industrial complex and big pharma; there is perhaps a subtext about the souring of 60s idealism as free-thinkers are persecuted or exploited by vested interests. Pretty good performances from the hero and the villain, but (not really surprisingly) Patrick McGoohan steals the film as the protagonist's father-figure. A thoughtful and intelligent film that isn't afraid to really go for the splatter now and then.

Seemingly taking it's cue - especially in combat - from Rocksteady's Arkham series of Batman games, this tells a completely new, completely stand-alone story, with a Peter Parker who has been Spider-Man, now, for 8 years and so is free of any restrictions placed upon it by tying it to a particular movie or graphic novel.
While it can get a bit repetitive in places, the central mechanic of web-swinging around a populated New York - one that even has a scale able The Avengers Tower in it (question: what will happen now that the Sony/Marvel deal has broken down?) - is great fun, while the story and plot itself is actually pretty good. Yes, anyone with even a passing knowledge of the Spider-Man lore may see where parts of it are going, but the fun (in this case) is in the journey, not the destination ...
Looking forward to the inevitable sequel.
