Sensational!!
This graphic novel is innovative, unique and simply a gem. What if the Spiderman mythos was in Mumbai, India and the web slinger was given an Indian twist. An original story also delving in the Indian mythos adding to the Spidey action was found. Artwork was of a high quality and very colourful. Go, Pavitr Prabhakar!!

Spider-Man India review
Spider-Man India... A fantastic book / comic with an Indian/ Asian twist! about time! As for a little background; here we follow Pravitr Prabhakar, an Indian teen from a village who moved to a new school where he gets bullied. From everyone except the attractive Meera Jain. Instead of being bitten by a spider, Pravitr gets given his powers by a wise old man. Now to avoid spoilers; I will jump straight to the case. Spider-Man India is a brilliant novel with heart, emotions and lessons. The comics (spread across all four novels are very short, depicting one story). My only problem is how short the comics are. I wish they had stuffed all of the comics in one and made that the first issue. And I would've loved to see more developments with Meera Jain, who was last seen kissing Pravitr. And for GOD's sake stop with ads on literally EVERY page! other than that... BRILLIANT! Definitely for the Indians / Asians everywhere. Even people from any race will fall in love with young Pravitr. Deserves a read!

Solid Comic
I'm born in India and i really like Spider-Man, do when i watched Across the Spider-Verse and found out there was an Indian Spider-Man I knew that I immediately needed to read the Comic.This is a solid comic, but it has some flaws:- It has only 4 Issues, so sometimes it feels very rushed- Sometumes the artworks isn't that good, but whenever Green Goblin shows up it becomes INSANLEY goodI would reccomend it to anyone who likes Spider-Man and is somewhat related to India.

I wish this were a series.
This is a fantastic book. Very, ingenious and well written and illustrated. This book tells a tale answering the question: What if Peter Parker was born in India instead of America? How would this new "Peter's" life be different? Who would be his enemies? The art is beautiful and tells the tale very well. I only wish this were a series. I would love to know what Spider-man would be like if he were Russian.

An Amazing Start
It's short and simple, but a great, very well-executed start, and given how Pavitra Prabhakaran turns out in the Spider-Verse, I want to see more of this Spider-Man India as a solo hero! also, REPRESENT! #brownpower !

Interesting Interpretation
Trying to squeeze the story of Peter Parker into Indian culture wasn't going to be easy. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. The artwork is a little sub-par, and the dialogue can be a little clunky, but kudos for the effort!It's always fun to see a new iteration of Spider-Man, and this one is worth a read.

Really excited but disappointed
I’ve thought for a long time that Spider-Man would be interesting in India. Instead of making something unique, it’s essentially a reskin of the Spider-Man story without much depth.There’s an MJ, green goblin, Dr. Octopus, Uncle Ben, etc. and a vague mythological underpinning that isn’t even Hindi. Indian locales aren’t really used and there’s no interesting villain or things that are specific to India.Spider-Man 2099 was able to make something keep the heart of Spider-Man, but be different. Hope this series does as well.
