Spider-Man: With Great Power is a five-issue

superhuman powers and the murder of his Uncle Ben. The series was published under Marvel's Marvel Knights imprint in order to avoid any links to current continuity.[1]

Production

Editor Warren Simons explained that the idea came to

Crusher Hogan. Other characters and themes will include mobsters involved with Spider-Man's professional wrestling career, a Mrs. Robinson figure in Peter's life, giant monsters, and childhood love. Perennial Spider-Man supporting cast members such as Flash Thompson, Liz Allan and J. Jonah Jameson will also be present.[1]

Harris also stated that his rendition of the series would retain as much of the source material's designs as possible, including the "nerdy" wardrobe and glasses worn by Parker 45 years previously, but that he would give him an updated hairstyle. Harris stated that he expanded upon the design of the machine that irradiated the spider that would bite Peter Parker, though it would be familiar to those who read Amazing Fantasy #15, and that he would depict a mix of automobiles in background scenes from various eras that would obscure the time period in which the story takes place.[1]

Critical reception

The book holds a critics' rating of 5.6 out of 10 at the review aggregator website Comic Book Round Up, based on seven reviews.[2]
