The Scarlet Spider is such an action-packed and thrilling title and it's all because of the man behind the mask. Kaine, is a very compelling character as he is still seen struggling with his inner self in this volume. Trying to discover who he really is in this "new skin", Kaine is constantly

battling the belief that he is a monster. There is finally some resolution to the inner turmoil between the man and the monster, so that was really nice to see for our hero. I plan on reading Minimum Carnage now to get caught up with the issues omitted in this volume. Scarlet Spider is a hardcore hero, and between the violent takedowns and curses, there is a soft heart that is the reason readers will keep coming back for more. Show Less

Adam's Review (5 Stars): Oh WOW, this title is so good! A combination of both the heroic side AND the violent side of Kaine show up in this Volume. The first half of Lone Star (pre- Minimum Carnage) deals in the heroic, having Scarlet Spider go after human trafficking rings and street gangs. This
The second half (post- Minimum Carnage and the amazing events of that story) takes a very dark turn. After being brutally defeated to almost the point of death, Kaine goes through a twisted inner battle against his "spider" self. Human vs. spider plays out outstandingly, and I won't ruin it here, but I hope to see more of that Scarlet "Spider".
Marvel... with both this title and Superior Spider-Man, you have shown that you are capable of creating a darker and more brutal area of the Marvel Universe. Thinking of a "dark" hero I liked when I was younger, I make one request to you Marvel........ please take darkness and chaos and sheer brutality, and just a general overall feel of such when you release Ghost Rider back upon this "new" universe. Marvel's "Spirit of Vengeance" deserves to walk on the dark side of Marvel.
Scarlet Spider? Highly Recommend! Where's Volume 3?

Spider is brutal in his fighting style, but thanks to the superb inner monologue, we see both his doubts and internal moral debates while he totally takes down the bad guys.The second half (post- Minimum Carnage and the amazing events of that story) takes a very dark turn.
