In yet another life-changing turn of events, Peter Parker, aka Spider-Man, discovers he has a long-lost sister, which might prove a joyous revelation if not for the fact that she's a powerful villainess, named Pity, who's in league with the Gentleman and Spidey's other nemeses. In Spider-Man: Revenge of the Sinister Six, Adam-Troy Castro (Spider-Man: The Gathering of the Sinister Six) upholds the Marvel Comics tradition of aw-shucks hyperbole, monstrous villains (Doctor Octopus, the Vulture) bent on ruling the world and the ultimate clash between good and evil.

From School Library Journal

Adult/High School-Motivated by revenge and greed, the Gentleman has recruited the Sinister Six to kill Spider-Man and to execute an elaborate plan to make the billionaire even more powerful and rich. This incarnation of the Sinister Six has a new addition, a young woman named Pity, who is manipulated by the villain. The book is a whirlwind of emotions; Spider-Man is faced with the dilemma of saving Pity (whom he suspects is his sister) or stopping the Gentleman from destroying New York City and possibly the world. Although he wins the battle, the villain slips away with Pity to appear in the next adventure. Wonderful humor, popular urban culture and people, and strong action make this a great read. Teens unfamiliar with the comic-book adventures can easily follow the story; die-hard fans are likely to know that this book and its upcoming sequel are a short interlude between the regularly published comic series. Revenge of the Sinister Six is soon to be made into a movie.

This review is from: Spiderman: Revenge of the Sinister Six (Hardcover)

Truly, an amazing book. The author is a genius at developing every character and leaving no one out. In this book, I truly enjoyed his portrayal of Electro and Pity's relationship. As you know, none of my reviews are very long, so I'll end there. Amazing!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Spider-Man book by Marvel!, Oct 19 2002

By	Adam Groesbeck (New York, New York) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Spiderman: Revenge of the Sinister Six (Hardcover)

This was a great book The author did a great job of describing the characters and setting. The vision you get when you read it is great and the fighting makes you feel like your right next to Spider-Man fighting along with him. This is a great book for anyone. But would mosly be liked by Spidey fans and comic lovers. And...thats it!:-)

5.0 out of 5 stars A spectacularly spellbinding speel, Oct 6 2002

By	"benjaminjgrimm" (Salt Lake City, Utah USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Spiderman: Revenge of the Sinister Six (Hardcover)

I believe that Mr. Castro has brought to paper one of the better tales of our world-famous wallcrawler. And to boot Parker has his hands full with family issues, major ones that he didn't even know existed, until now. Toss in Parker's deadliest and most methodical miscreants, (okay except for Venom), and you have a sure winner.
