Book Overview
J. Jonah Jameson, publisher of the Daily Bugle , has denounced Spider-Man from the beginning, convincing New Yorkers to see him as a criminal and a menace. But when a robot attack on Manhattan injures Peter Parker's students and Jameson blames Spider-Man, their feud takes on a new, personal dimension. As the embittered webslinger faces further robot attacks, each deadlier than the last, his spider-sense warns that Jameson himself is behind them, possibly colluding with Electro, Alistaire Smythe, or another of Spider-Man's mortal foes. Convinced that his worst critic has become a mortal enemy, Spider-Man declares war on Jameson -- a war the publisher is eager to wage. But in their relentless pursuit of victory, they both risk losing everything that matters to them -- and may both fall victim to the cataclysmic secret behind the robots.

Fun read.

This is the first Spider-Man novel I've read, and though I wish I'd read the other novels that preceded it, I found the story fun and action-packed.
The best Spidey adventure in a long time

And not just in novel form, either; Christopher L. Bennett's DROWNED IN THUNDER is better even than most stories told in the comicbooks lately. The fight scenes are great, the humor is great, and the characterization is spot on. Best of all, it's so continuity-rich you'd swear Mark Gruenwald wrote it from beyond the grave. There's references to things like Aunt May hitting Spidey with a vase and MJ trying to hit him with a pillow (from a little BACK-UP story in an ANNUAL!). And even better, there's references to the previous novels, not just "Down These Mean Streets" by Keith R.A. DeCandido and "The Darkest Hours" by Jim Butcher, but even the novels from the previous series, including the ones by Diane Duane and Adam-Troy Castro. And a direct quote from the 1960's Batman movie. And even a nickname for JJJ that's taken from the 90's animated series! Pick it up, you will not regret it.
