This was an absolutely brilliant read. I've read part of Fantastic Four Life Story (I will be going back to read the rest of it), but I do know if I was expecting the amount of emotion that was woven into Zdarsky's Spider-Man: Life Story. The intricacy of the storytelling, the artwork, all of it worked so well together. Not only did Zdarsky make sure we understand the cultural events occurring in America during each decade, but he seamlessly wove in significant Marvel events that are extremely rewarding for those that know or are invested in Spider-Man lore. As someone who originally wasn't a huge fan of Spider-Man fan, I have grown to appreciate his complexity as a character over time. Zdarsky illustrated every nook and cranny of this man's character over the course of 200+ pages. Even if you're not a huge Spider-Man fan or you don't know much about him as a character, this is one that I would recommend broadly for the storytelling. This is one of my favorite Spider-Man books to date!
