Spidey runs into a strange crew in ‘Rise Above it All’
Spider-Man doesn’t have that great of a public image lately. Peter has a hand in it, and it makes his job harder to do. So when a new group called the Wake Riders show up wanting to help, how can he say no. As he hangs with them a bit though he wonders if there is more to them than it seems. I was able to watch a screener of ‘Rise Above it All’ and this is what I thought of it.

‘Rise Above it All’ started off on an odd foot. It was unclear what was happening at first, but as the episode progressed it looked like Spidey gained some new allies. They wanted to help him out, and at first that is exactly what they did. Over time though, it looked like there was more to the Wake Riders. His eyes got opened to this fact from an unexpected source. In the end, he had to face the facts and the cost was higher than he would have liked. It was nice to see one of his allies come back though, haven’t seen them in a bit.
