Lawyers can use their knowledge of the law to clarify confusing situations or exploit it to encourage lawbreakers. While Daredevil plays both sides with Spider-Man and Bailey, Spider-Boy #20 reminds us how often Bailey has gone it alone and doesnt need to be anyones sidekick. Read Full Review

Admittedly this was a really fun final issue. Spider-boy isnt a bad character to my surprise. He has his ups and downs, some wins but a lot of loses, built up a team (kind of??), and has a bunch of cool social supports and side characters they could draw on in the future. While he doesnt really have any actually villains left (besides the 2 or 3 comic punch line guys he fights for a couple of panels every issue), there is something there to work with for sure. I wouldn't be surprised if Marvel actually turned this into a full kids line. I mean that would require some vision on Marvels part and I doubt that, but hey one can dream.

TL DR: Spider-Boy is fun. He feels different enough from Spider-man that he has his own characterization and could branch off at some point to be a more kid-friendly goofy version. Kid-heroes have their place and Spider-Boy fits that well. more
