Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man Annual #1

Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man Annual #1
Perfectly OKAY. The history of the Sandman, told from his point of view. Y'all just know he's just misunderstood, right? This issue just belabors the point, though, dusting off every single tired old cliche to prove that he's not to blame for the man he became. I preferred him as a good guy. But it's really funny how many times Peter David works sand in to the narrative.
And seriously, who are we kidding here? The only reason this story was written is to capitalize on Sandman's presence in the most recent Spidey flick. There's no other reason.
