Just finished my (almost) annual read through of Spider-Man: Blue. I love it.

Why is Spider-Man melancholy and blue in this heartfelt, very personal, miniseries? The story is familiar, but the execution of it is not what the reader will expect from this amazing marriage of story and art by Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale. This is the saga of a young Peter Parker dealing with loss and his journey into adulthood. It’s a coming of age tale told in an ingenious way… Peter reminisces on his past, with the reader not knowing the time period that this tale resides within. It’s a timeless tale of a timeless character, with relationships taking center stage over plot. Peter interacts with his paramours Gwen Stacy and Mary Jane Watson, has a deep relationship with his Aunt May, and fights villains such as Green Goblin, the Lizard, Rhino, and the Vulture. Through interpersonal relationships and superhero battles, every moment is personal in this tale about “your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man.
…When the last page of this exceptional yarn is reached, tears of understanding will drop and, through the course of this modern day Spidey classic, Peter Parker’s journey has become our journey.
