Peter Parker as a parent?! I can definitely relate! Review to come!

Edit (04/28/18):
This is definitely a new favorite! I don't normally read Spider-Man anything (there are so many comics it's ridiculous), but this one kept catching my eye. Jacob seemed to be enjoying it, and I mostly trust his judgement, but it was the covers that really sold me on this one. The artwork for this series has been phenomenal!

I think I would have enjoyed this before becoming a parent, but now the story really resonates with me. I grew up with Spider-Man, and now he has a family with a teenager (mine are not quite that old, but I remember being that age myself). They fight crime together, but also make an effort to live their normal lives. Annie is in high school trying to figure out where she belongs, Peter is taking pictures and trying new things, and MJ runs her own business.

The Amazing Spider-Man: Renew Your Vows highlights a lot of aspects about parenting: trusting your child, allowing them to be their own person, having discussions with your spouse about whether or not that child is actually being honest... it all feels so normal. They're just trying to make the day-to-day work while also being on alert for danger and mayhem.

And it's hilarious! I find myself frequently laughing out loud at some of the things being said. If you're new to comics, or just looking for something else to read, this is it.
