Synopsis

J. Jonah Jameson, the publisher of the Daily Bugle, has denounced Spider-Man from the beginning, convincing New Yorkers to see him as a criminal and a menace. But when a robot attack on Manhattan injures Peter Parker's students and Jameson blames Spider-Man, their feud takes on a personal dimension. As the embittered web-slinger faces further robot attacks, each deadlier than the last, his spider-sense warns that Jameson himself is behind them, possibly colluding with Electro, Alistaire Smythe, or another of Spider-Man's mortal foes. Convinced that his worst critic has become a mortal enemy, Spider-Man declares war on Jameson-a war the publisher is eager to wage. But in their relentless pursuit of victory, they both risk losing everything that matters to them-and may both fall victim to the cataclysmic secret behind the robots. GraphicAudio® Production.

Goodreads review by Craig

Peter is plagued by J.J.J. more than ever, not to mention a horde of riotous robots, but luckily has Aunt May and his wife in his corner. Not the greatest plot of all the Spider-Man prose novels, but the characterization is quite good. Ah, the good old days... this one's for FOOM.......more

Goodreads review by Eddie

Ah, Spider-Man, the way I like to remember him. Mr Bennett captures the history of Spidy which is important to me but the best Aunt May written yet. A great JJJ love letter. When I was younger I use to wonder how he could be boss, great backstory.......more

Goodreads review by Amy

I found Drowned in Thunder while browsing in my local library, and decided to give the book a shot. I am a fan of Spider-Man, but - because Marvel's comics are very difficult to navigate - I am mostly familiar with the character via the three movie adaptions and reboots (the one with Tobey Maguire,......more

Goodreads review by Connor

After reading three of these Spider-Man novels, I've found that my biggest issue with them is that they can't just be their own story - they have to constantly remind you of Spider-Man's wider world. This was especially prolific in 'Drowned in Thunder' as Bennett is always stopping to tell you about......more

It could have happened anywhere else and I would not have noticed. However......more
