Collects Amazing Spider-Man 1.1-1.5, 1 (.1 story).

It's the chapter you never knew about the story you know by heart! Join Peter Parker as he takes his first steps toward finding his way in the world as Spider-Man! He sought revenge and found responsibility. From that night on, a new life began. Peter's not a hero -- not yet -- but he'll get there somehow. But what happens when Peter meets Clash, New York's newest menace? Clash is Spidey's biggest fan, but what started off as fun and games soon turns deadly serious -- and Clash is about to become his first super villain! And as a classic Spidey villain joins in on the fun, J. Jonah's Jameson's crusade against Spider-Man kicks into overdrive, and Uncle Ben's secrets come to light! Dan Slott and Ramón Pérez deliver a new spin on Spider-Man's first 60 days.

A new twist on traditional Spider-Man

A new twist on traditional Spider-Man
No contemporary author does traditional Spidey like Slott does traditional Spidey. And you don't get more traditional than high school Peter Parker. Billed as "the chapter you never knew about the story you knew by heart," Slott and team offer a new take on Peter's lesson about Power and Responsibility in the form of Boy Genius Clayton Cole. Gifted at school just like Peter, Clayton never had an Uncle Ben to teach him the lessons of the heart, and once Clayton uses his gifts to become a super-powered person after seeing the Spider-Man, their worlds collide.This is best read in paper format: Ramon Perez makes a lot of layouts riffing on the original 9-grid page that Ditko pioneered in the early Spider-years, leading to bombastic two-page splashes for action sequences. Slott understands so well the internal conflict of being a teenager, no less a teenager with extraordinary powers, that it reminded me of the original issues of Spider-Man. They were relevant then and they are relevant now.It's a new facet of an old story that'll show you why Peter Parker remains one of the best comic book characters to grace the page.

This book by Dan Scott and Ramon Perez is something truly special, in my opinion. Its the same classic tale with stories that intertwine between the first issues. Kind of like "Untold Tales of Spider-Man", it shows how Peter Parker did that, got this, stuff like that. The new villain is outstanding, and I would reccomend this book to readers, old and new. 5 stars!

3.0 out of 5 stars I wasn't as into the retelling of Spider-Man's early days as everyone else
Reviewed in the United States on July 27, 2023

Learning to Crawl is a random Dan Slott Spider-Man story before Spider-Verse kicked into gear. It's meant as a sort of celebration of Peter's return to life, by going back to his origins. But Marvel tries to have it both ways by using the original 60s aesthetic while also still showing characters using smart phones and other modern technology. It's a weird attempt at explaining why Peter is only like 30 even though he's existed for 60 years. The new villain, Clash, reminds me of Alpha from an earlier Slott story, in that he's this smart, attractive guy who is still bullied even though a kid like that in real life would be popular. The ultimate revelation from Aunt May that Uncle Ben would want Peter to remember to laugh as much as to remember his responsibilities feels tacked on.

5.0 out of 5 stars He's Got Radioactive Retcon Blood
Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2014
Well after three long years of Dr. Spidey-pus the original is back. As we all knew he would be. And Mr. Slott has decided to once more re-tell his beginnings. Is this a new idea ? Not Hardly. Let's see there was John Byrne's Spider-Man Chapter One, the recent Hard Cover Spider-Man :Year One plus many great Paul Jenkins written stories that focused on Uncle Ben and my favorite Kurt Busiek's brilliant Untold Tales Of Spider-Man which ran 25 issues.

So is it worth doing it again ? Well if it adds something new to the mythos while visiting past touchstones like this does , YES . This collection includes portions of the new Amazing Spider-Man #1 plus all five issues of the 2014 mini-series Learning To Crawl. The writing is by the recent king of all things Spider-Man Dan Slott and the art is by Tale Of Sand artist Ramon Perez . Perez uses a simple fine line style. It similar to style used by the great Darywn Cooke but uniquely his own. Perez does a great job of invoking the spirit of Steve Ditko into this project . Ian Herring does a very nice subdued coloring job also. Thrown into the mix are five great Alex Ross covers plus some equally fantastic variant covers.

According to Slott the story takes place during Peter's first couple of months being Spider-Man. While Perez's art makes you believe this is the early 1960's Slott's story features digital camera's and the internet. So we venture into the ever changing realm of "Marvel Time" because nobody really wants to see a Spider-Man that is a Senior Citizen.

The story gives us a new love interest for Parker, Polly who is a fellow nerd and not a super-model. We also meet Clash a new villain for Spidey's Rogues gallery. He is both inspired and jealous of Spider-Man.

The best thing about this book is Slott's portrayal of May Parker. I was delighted that she is old again. In recent years she has looked younger and younger and has been slutting about with Doc Ock and Jarvais The Butler before marrying Jameson's Dad. On the Spidey cartoon she looks "way too hot". The gift Aunt May gives back to Peter in the end is what makes this whole story work so well.

Highly Recommended

Great retelling of Spiderman's early days after being bitten by radioactive spider. Nice focus on Peter Parker and Aunt May was fleshed out much more than usual. New super villian on level with the early Spiderman with Clash another high school homeschooled student wanting attention.

4.0 out of 5 stars A nice look at spidey's origins but not the best work out there
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 23, 2015

This looks at the untold story of the origin of Parker. It really is a cliche but it is handled nicely. this story looks at Parker's money troubles, a sort of spiderman no more issue and finally not him becoming the spider because Stan Lee handled that back in 1962 but spiderman becoming the wise-ass. It is nicely written, a bit more modern than the old 1962 setting and without Stan Lee's awful attempts at the slang the kids are using these days.

Clash, the primary villain, has a very Syndrome (from the incredibles) kind of storyline going on but it works in being an opposite to spiderman in almost every regard but being a smart high school student.

Worth a read but get spiderman omnibus 1 first or you won't follow the multiple throwbacks that this story relies on quite nicely.
