Product Description:
Peter Parker's life has hit a peaceful stretch. No evildoers have tried to flatten him in weeks, his marriage to Mary Jane isstronger than ever, and he's enjoying his job as a high schoolscience teacher. Life is good.
Naturally, that doesn't last.
When Peter learns that his old enemy the Rhino is on a rampage in Times Square, he suits up as Spider-Man to stop the destructive villain in his tracks. But he's unexpectedly foiled in his attempts by the Black Cat, a former ally and old flame. The Cat informs Peter that the Rhino is just a distraction -- the real threat comes from a group of Ancients, members of the same race as the being called Morlun, who Spidey defeated in battle years earlier. The Ancients are now looking to exact revenge -- and hope to steal Spider-Man's life force in the process.
To defeat such powerful beings, Spider-Man is going to need all the help he can get, especially from the Black Cat. But what will Mary Jane Parker have to say about that? Peter isn't sure which is worse -- the Ancients trying to drain his life force, or the wrath of a jealous wife....

...is that Jim Butcher took time to write it while I'm waiting for the next Dresden book! I've read the Dresden Files a few times now and came across this title while checking when book 13 would be out. He really is a great writer.
Rating: -
So I've read all his other books (starting with the dresden files) - this is another good one. If you like Butcher's writing style, you'll enjoy this story.

Man, I have been on some Spider-Man kick lately. Being a nerdy nerd of the nerdiest order, when it comes to superheroes, I can't help but relate most to the wallcrawler. I've read novels featuring Spidey before, but I have to say that Jim Butcher is the first writer outside of the comic book field to really capture the essence Peter Parker, his voice and his humor and his compassion. Jim Butcher gets Spidey, really gets him. Meaning that his novel SPIDER-MAN: THE DARKEST HOURS comes as a very welcome ... Read More

Just as Peter Parker has the added stress of having to help coach the boy's basketball team, his old nemesis Rhino decides to have a rampage down Times Square. Spidey's former love Black Cat also shows up to warn Spider-Man that she believes Rhino's destruction to be a trap. But Spider-Man feels that he has no choice, and comes face-to-face with siblings of Morlun, an adversary from years ago. Morlun's incredibly powerful siblings (called Ancients) want revenge, and Spidey will have to count on the help ... Read More

Of course this one's getting 5 stars. Jim Butcher wrote it. I admit to being a fangirl, but not without reason.
In this book, Peter Parker/Spider-Man is up against the siblings of Morlun, beings who feed on the life forces of totemistic forces (basically, those with super-powers who have a connection of some sort with an animal). To defeat them will take teamwork, and Spidey tends to be more of a loner.
I'm not all that familiar with Spider-Man canon--the newspaper comic strip and ... Read More
