(I originally read these comics in early December 2015)
'Learning to Crawl' is a miniseries by current Spider-Man writer Dan Slott and a retroactive tale that fits between the gaps of Amazing Spider-Man # 1 and 2. It's the old, "You only knew HALF the story" schtick, but is quite enjoyable nonetheless. Peter is already Spider-Man and is in the early 'TV star' stage of his career. The focus is as much on Clash, a Spidey-inspired new hero who nevertheless due to his own envy and desperate need to prove himself ends up being dubbed a villain.
