A fun, grounded, and often charming take on Spider-Man that does a whole lot to also move the MCU forward. Top marks.

The perfect blend of quirkiness, nostalgia, music, and charm. It doesn't push any boundaries but what it does do, it does incredibly well. A guaranteed mood lifter!

Dull, bland, boring, and somehow actively worse than the trailer. Just skip it.

A largely pointless entry to a franchise that appears to have run out of ideas. Its sole purpose is to set up a sequel that sounds awful.

The gold standard for creature design tie-in books, with heaps of fantastic ideas and some solid speculative evolution work.

A beautiful collection of concept art and creature design, though lacking in substance beyond the pretty pictures.

It’s a Dirk Pitt novel. That should tell you everything you need to know, except this one has a more interesting villain than normal.

A clear prototype for what would become the long running Dirk Pitt series with little of novel interest. A page turner, nothing more.

A wonderfully illustrated and surprisingly detailed world of fantastic creatures; a great work of fantasy with strong characterisation and some genuinely interesting speculative biology. An instant favourite franchise.

Funny and informative, plus all for a good cause. Can’t really complain.

A more than worthy successor, with brilliant voice acting, intelligent level design and some very fun new game mechanics.
