Spider-Man: La storia della mia vita (Annual) (2024)

I was a big fan of Spider-man: Life Story while it was coming out and this Annual is a brilliant addition. Focusing on J Jonah Jameson, we delve into his obsession with Spider-man and how an old man has to deal with a life wasted. It’s a great one shot that could potentially be read and enjoying without having read Spider-man Life Story

È esattamente come la storia principale: magnifica.
Bellissimo vedere quando un autore sa scrivere bene, perché gli bastano 30 pagine per sfornare una storia meravigliosa. Grazie Zdarsky.

An encore to the world of Spider-Man: Life Story, featuring J. Jonah Jameson, driven by his relentless obsession to expose Spider-Man as a menace to society, suffers at his own hand in his decades-long aim to bring down the superhero. Despite evidence of Spider-Man's heroism, including having saved Jameson's own son, Jameson holds onto this signature stamp of denial and revenge. Just as in Life Story, the annual companion piece allows these characters to age in real time, in what ultimately becomes a character study and sad tale of a wasted life in the blind pursuit of hatred.

Na sensacional minissérie (no Brasil compilada em capa dura) Homem-Aranha: História de Vida, Chip Zdarsky e Mark Bagley trabalharama história de publicação do Homem-Aranha como se ele tivesse vivido esses anos da mesma forma como cronometramos o tempo na vida real. Já em Homem-Aranha: Historia de Vida Especial, que foi lançado como um Annual lá fora, a mesma equipe criativa trabalhou esse mesmo período através da óptica do "arquiinimigo" do Homem-Aranha, J. Jonah Jameson. Neste quadrinho de poucas páginas mas com uma grande história, mostra os passos de retratação de Jameson com o Homem-Aranha, depois do jornalista ter sido mandado para a cadeia por causa de seu envolvimento com o Escorpião e com o Esmaga-Aranha. Não é tão sensacional como a minissérie principal, mas também é muito bom e vale a pena para quem leu e para quem não leu Homem-Aranha: História de Vida, ler também este especial.

I need to read the mini series before this and I also need to read more by Chip Zdarsky because this was beautiful.

★★★½

Like the very best Spider-Man stories, you root for characters to figure out what's best for them, and they sort of do, but not before going down some painful paths.

Jameson always seemed to interest Zdarsky, who wrote the (previous?) best JJJ-focused issue, and does an equally great job here. His characterization rides the line between one-dimensional and just nuanced enough.

Bagley, Hennessy and Milla do an excellent job with this issue, as they (or 2/3 of them) did with the series. I might like Milla's work more than the previous colorist, if I'm being honest. There's little action in this issue, so the "acting" has to carry a lot of the weight here, and they nailed it.

I'm a little unsure about 90 year-old Jameson donning a battle suit to fight an octogenarian Mac Gargan, it sorta brings things full circle with the Spider-Slayer, but also just takes me out of it. I think I'll go with it in the end, but it's a bit too silly for what's been a really grounded issue.

Legalzinho, parti despretensiosamente pra leitura já que não tenho costume de ler HQs, achei que teria mais foco no Homem-Aranha, mas acabei descobrindo que a narração é do Jonah Jameson. Foi uma leitura super rápida, agora quero ver o "história de vida" para saber a perspectiva do herói.

A lovely revisit and addition to Spider-Man Life Story

All I ever wanted to do was have people hear me... I just forgot to have something to say.

Doplněk k "Spider-Man: Life Story" zaměřený na Jamesona v průběhu věků. A důkaz, že se koncept "tak jde čas" hned tak nepřejí. Na mnohem menším prostoru se podařilo docílit téhož efektu; v ryze osobní rovině vyprávěného sebezpytu vlastních démonů, nenávistí a odkazu, který po sobě zanecháváme. Samo za sebe to plnohodnotně neobstojí, ale to ani nemá. Je to vedlejší linie k té hlavní. Nic více a nic méně. Ovšem ani o píď méně kvalitně.

An excellent portrait of J. Jonah Jameson and an interesting but all to brief look at how his story might have played out if Marvel comics wasn't so insistent upon constantly rebooting its characters and stories.

An unexpected and beautiful follow-up and companion to one of the best Spider-Man miniseries of all time.

Chip Zdarsky remains the one working writer who can still make Peter Parker (and his supporting cast) as compelling as his iconic status deserves.

J’ai beaucoup aimé L’histoire d’une vie, par Chip Zdarsky, qui racontait l’histoire de Spider-Man si le temps s’était écoulé normalement dans l’univers Marvel, des années 1960 à nos jours. Mais j’ai trouvé ce hors-série vraiment trop court pour ce qu’il raconte.

Cet annual reprend la structure de Life Story (en une seule issue), en se concentrant sur J. Jonah Jameson, le patron du Daily Bugle, et l’évolution de sa perception de Spider-Man, alors qu’il purge une peine de prison pour sa complicité dans les crimes du Scorpion.

Le problème étant qu’avec les ellipses entre les années, son changement d’opinion est trop soudain, passant de la haine de Spider-Man au sentiment de culpabilité en une ou deux pages.

Point positif, ce one-shot est bien relié avec la mini-série principale, certains personnages, dont Spidey, s’insérant naturellement dans le récit.

Mark Bagley assure quant à lui encore une fois les illustrations, très réussies comme à son habitude avec le tisseur.

Si vous êtes de ceux qui trouvaient que Life Story allait trop vite, cet annual ne va pas vous faire changer d’avis.

Petit point édition française maintenant, je trouve que c’est discutable de la part de Panini Comics de ne pas avoir inclus cet annual avec le reste de Life Story

only 4 because of the art

Buon spinoff della miniserie principale

A nice little side story. More hopeful than the previous six issues. Wouldn't mind periodic glimpses into this universe.

Bello, scorrevole, non essenziale

Bien complemento al Spiderman toda una vida.

A decent to good addition to the lore of this universe and a great backstory and character Arc for JJJ.

quasi meglio di quello su spiderman
