Summary: Spider Man as a gumshoe? Who would have thunk it? Also he has a gun, a dame and some Nazis to punch.

Spidey Punch Hitler!


New York 1939, Spiderman has a black trench coat and a Colt .45 and hostilities are building in Europe. After some sort of commotion in New York, Spider Man is on a plane to the UK on a secret mission with his sidekick/helper Huma. They have to get to Berlin but getting there is difficult, and Spider Man can’t help but think he is walking into a set up.

Heavy on the plot but lighter on action than some titles, this story is perfect if you want to get your teeth into a more serious Spider Man story. At least more serious than Spider Ham.

Some excellent world building in this one and it is based on a historical setting so there is a lot of retro technology used and Spider Man even has a gun in this one, something he is usually against in most of his other stories.

This is a different continuity to other timelines so hopefully a lot of familiar characters will turn up, but in a totally new context. I did not expect to see the one that does turn up at all, a great story if it doesn’t feel the need to at least tease at it.

I would recommend this one if you saw the Into the Spider Verse movie or just want a different take on the usual superhero stories.
