Look at the list: Superman For All Seasons, The Long Halloween, the only man who made me give a shit about Daredevil in Daredevil: Yellow… because Matt Murdoch really loved his dead father. Loeb has really good form in the field of re-imaging superhero origins, remaining really faithful and respectful of the source material but giving it more substance and meaning. You could give this story to any person, including people who couldn’t give a damn about Spider-man or comics, and they would enjoy and relate to a lot of it….although maybe not the bit about fighting a big dude in a rhino outfit. Not often, but once in a while, you get a calibre of comic which comes out and transcends from pulpy, sci-fi nonsense into something that is intelligent and very human. “Holy shit” I thought, after finishing Jeph Loeb’s Spidey Blue and wiping away the tears.
