They really need to stop making these preludes if they are all going to be just a movie-to-comic adaptation of a previous movie in the MCU. You have 2 months in between the events of Captain America: Civil War and Spider-man: Homecoming - you could at least include some story from that time or maybe more of the Vulture's back story. Can we go back to the days where these preludes had originality to them? They are now completely wasting the money of MCU lovers (unless you refuse to purchase them lik They really need to stop making these preludes if they are all going to be just a movie-to-comic adaptation of a previous movie in the MCU.

If you watched Captain America: Civil War, give this a skip. It's literally just the Spidey scenes in that movie and nothing else. I have a tiny bit of hope that the next one will actually be relevant to the movie and not a repeat of a previous one (I'm looking at you, Thor: Ragnarok.

Spider-Man: Homecoming Prelude (Marvel's Spider-Man) collects the two-issue mini series of the same name, which is actually an adaptation of the “Captain America - Civil War” film, but only the bits that directly relate to Spider-Man’s thread. There are a couple of pages of Spidey in action to set the scene for his appearance in the main film, then we get some of the important scenes that lead up to Tony Stark calling on Aunt May, and then we have the big battle seen from Spidey’s point of view, Spider-Man: Homecoming Prelude (Marvel's Spider-Man) collects the two-issue mini series of the same name, which is actually an adaptation of the “Captain America - Civil War” film, but only the bits that directly relate to Spider-Man’s thread. There are a couple of pages of Spidey in action to set the scene for his appearance in the main film, then we get some of the important scenes that lead up to Tony Stark calling on Aunt May, and then we have the big battle seen from Spidey’s point of view, and the closing scene with the Spider-Signal. It does actually all hang together reasonably well, as they don’t try and shoe-horn in the entire film. If you’ve seen the film, then you’ll be able to fill in the missing scenes, and if you haven’t, then why are you even here? Also collected are: Invincible Iron Man (2008) #7 – which sees Ben Urich taking photo-journalist Peter Parker to visit Stark Industries following a massive attack, and as Ben usually does when he is called in as lead character in a story, gives Peter a meaningful lesson in old-school journalism. Amazing Spider-Man (1963) #2 is Spidey’s first big super-villain story featuring the Vulture, with a second, short story featuring The Terrible Tinkerer. Amazing Spider-Man (1963) #46 introduces the new villain, the Shocker, as well as featuring almost the entire supporting cast doing what all good supporting casts do

Its pretty much the comic book version of Spider-Man's appearance in the Civil War movie, art is neat. Its pretty much the comic book version of Spider-Man's appearance in the Civil War movie, art is neat.

It's a misleading title: Prelude. I was hoping in some out of screen stuff and found myself with an adaptation of Spider Civil War scenes and a reprint of old stories. Highly disappointed by it. I would definitely have given it one star (very poor), but the old Lee-Ditko earned the book another star. They are dull stories, yet entertaining. It's a misleading title: Prelude.

Completely pointless. Just a graphic novelization of the Spider-Man scenes from the Civil War movie.

The art of the 2 prelude comics (ie. Captain America: Civil War summarized) was pretty generic. I've never seen that style in a Marvel comic before, but everyone looked the same! Take the hair off the girls and guys and the only thing different about them would be their eyes and maybe their skin color. Peter's wit in the other three comics were entertaining. The quips in the older ones aren't quite as relevant, and I think his character has changed to keep with the times, but he still has a good The art of the 2 prelude comics (ie.

I don't keep up on Spider-Man, so including the comics they have and having already seen the movie allowed me to make some connections between characters in the movie I might not have otherwise. The older Stan Lee comics are still way too wordy for me though. It's like reading a real book instead of a comic.

The reboot of the Spider-Man films inspires this Marvel collection which recaps Spider-Man's part in the Captain America Civil War movie (the Homecoming Prelude #1-2) and while a rehash of the movie, the story conveys Spidey's sense of humor. The next story from Iron Man is a nice little piece which shows the human side of Tony Stark/Iron Man through the eyes of Spider-Man. Younger readers may or may not like the 1960's issues of the Amazing Spider-Man (some of the slang may be hard to read) but The reboot of the Spider-Man films inspires this Marvel collection which recaps Spider-Man's part in the Captain America Civil War movie (the Homecoming Prelude #1-2) and while a rehash of the movie, the story conveys Spidey's sense of humor.

All in all an easy read with no objectionable content making it accessible to tweens and teens.

The first two issues are awful. The art is quite bad, and it’s basically only badly adapted scenes from Civil War The other three included issues are very good though. They are of course collected elsewhere, but if you can get this book for very cheap and have limited exposure to the MU, I would pick up this book for those. There’s quite a variety, with Fraction Iron Man, and both Ditko and Romita Spider-Man.

i bought this because it was on a really good sale even though i know most of the mcu preludes are not very good. this was okay. a little annoyed that invincible iron man #7 was thrown in there because i've already read that. this is basically 2 issues of the civil war movie in comic book format, with spidey's perspective. considering there's 2 months between civil war and homecoming, i was hoping it was something i haven't seen before. i bought this because it was on a really good sale even though i know most of the mcu preludes are not very good. this was okay. a little annoyed that invincible iron man #7 was thrown in there because i've already read that. this is basically 2 issues of the civil war movie in comic book format, with spidey's perspective. considering there's 2 months between civil war and homecoming, i was hoping it was something i haven't seen before.

Me hice con este cómic pensando que nos contarían algo de las aventuras de Spider-Man antes de que Iron Man "le financiara", pero no, es solo Civil War contado desde el punto de vista de Peter, y de forma muy breve. Sin embargo, el cómic merece la pena por las historias extras, que nos muestran las primeras apariciones de los villanos de Homecoming.

These preludes are usually just recaps of a previous movie, and this one...is mostly a recap of Civil War, but telling some of Peter's perspective. It's a minuscule amount, but at least it's something, which is more than most preludes (and better than the "Wong exposits the MCU to Dr. Strange as they get a stair workout in" that is the second part of the Infinity War prelude).

At first, I disliked this comic because I found it pointless. But I enjoyed and appreciated how this comic prepares you for homecoming by having comics about the villains in the movie. I didn’t love this, but I had to give it a 3 star review after I finished the whole thing.

Drawings were scary!!:)) especially scarlet witch.

What a piece of junk. It's just comic-adapted segments of he Civil War flick, with a few old issues of Spider-man in a bundle. The art is great, that's about it. What a piece of junk.

The Vulture and Shocker reprints are as awesome as ever, but the new MCU story is just Civil War with a couple extra panels.

This collection was...fine--though it certainly wasn't the "prelude" it claimed to be. I picked this up because the Doctor Strange prelude actually delivered that: a story that took place before the movie and provided the reader with extra information (specifically, some back story of the villain). However, the "prelude" of this comic was really just parts of the "Captain America: Civil War" movie drawn as a comic. Seriously, it was verbatim.

The only entertaining parts that weren't 100-percent repeats were a few inner monologues from Peter. But still...those didn't add up to the fact that reading what I had already watched was downright boring. That being said...the other comics were actually pretty enjoyable. I haven't read any of Marvel's Civil War story line (mostly because, from what I've heard, it doesn't seem that interesting), so it was nice to read a scene between Spider-Man and Iron Man from that plot. It's also always fun to read older comics--the writing and art styles are always so different from modern ones that they can't help but be entertaining, if for no other reason that comparing and contrasting. Also, the massive amount of '60s slang was too amusing. So, as a prelude... did this graphic novel work? No. As a general collection of Spider-Man stories? Yes, well enough.
