Here's what comic book nerds think of 'Spider-Man: Homecoming'

Spider-Man is back!

After surprising audiences with his cameo appearance in Captain America: Civil War, the famed web slinger has returned to the big screen. Tom Holland brings his acrobatics and quips to Spider-Man: Homecoming, the latest entry in the Marvel cinematic universe, out now.

But before he was wowing moviegoers, Spider-Man has been delighting comic book readers since 1962.

So, then, how do comic book fans feel about the new Spider-Man movie?

Join us this week on the MashReads Podcast, as we discuss Spider-Man, what sets him apart from other superheroes, what Spider-Man: Homecoming got right, and what the movie got wrong. Then we pan out and talk about our other favorite superhero adaptations, including Christopher Reeve's 1978 Superman, Wonder Woman, and Scott Pilgrim vs. The World.

And as always, we close the show with recommendations:

• Aliza recommends "9 Startling Differences Between Michael Keaton’s Vulture and Vulture, the Website You’re Reading Right Now," a hilarious comparison between, as the title suggests, Vulture (the Spider-Man: Homecoming villain) and Vulture (the website).

• Peter recommends Mashable's Game of Thrones coverage. "We've been pretty exhaustive about it, for better or for worse. And I think there are a lot of hidden gems of things that might not be recognized among our coverage." He specifically shouts out his article "Ed Sheeran's 'Game of Thrones' cameo made me extremely angry" and the humor article "I’m George R.R. Martin’s copy editor for 'Winds of Winter' and I'm just super swamped with other stuff right now."

• MJ recommends "The Black Person's Guide to 'Game of Thrones,'" a funny recap of the first six season's of Game of Thrones, in anticipation of Season 7.

Next week we'll be discussing Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi, our MashReads book club pick for the month. Gyasi will be talking to MashReads IRL on Tuesday, July 25 at 6:30 p.m. EDT at Mashable HQ in New York City. RSVP here and join us!
