Priscellie:
I'm sure this has already been asked and answered a dozen times, but this is my first time on this Darkest Hours board, so I apologize in advance.  I've only seen the movies--I've never read any of the Spider-Man comics--and I was wondering if this story would be accessible to someone like me with little knowledge of the Spideyverse.  Any thoughts?

jtaylor:
Yes. I haven't read Spiderman comics since the Maximum Carnage storyline in the early 90's. The book deals with story lines that had been covered after I stopped reading, but it give you all the history you need to keep up during the book. Some major points that would be worth knowing beofre reading this are as follows:

Peter and MJ are married, and MJ knows Peter is Spidey.
It would be helpful (but not necessary) to know some background on the Rhino one of Spidey's frequent foes.

Everything else is told you through the story, and it's enjoyable even if you are not up to date on Spidey lore.

ShadowInTheDarkness:
I agree. I've never read one Spider Man comic. Saw the movies. The book was still awsome. Jim does a great job explaining what's going on.
There are some refrences to previous events that must have happened in the comics, but it's really easy to stay up to date with whats happening.
Read on.

Mage:
I read this with pretty minimal knowledge of the spidey world, i think its a great read for a real spiderman fan or someone relatively new to the property

Ellie Mae:
Yeah I don't think you would have any problems at all, it's a great book :)
