When a dead man walks in Harlem, Spider-Man must do something about it — but he'll have to venture far out of his comfort zone.

The team of heroes hidden since DAREDEVIL: FATHER heads back into the spotlight, courtesy of MARVEL'S AGENT CARTER writer Jose Molina and superstar artist Simone Bianchi! The web-slinger rediscovers why graveyards are so frightening as his investigation into these uncanny resurrections leads him into terrifying territory. The Santerians are his guide, but together they must journey far from Harlem before this mystery is solved! Peter Parker will be forced into questions of life, death and what lies beyond!

5.0 out of 5 stars A book that explores faith in a unique and fascinating way.
Reviewed in the United States on March 17, 2017
The book opens up with the funeral of Julio Rodriguez who was murdered by a junkie and leaves behind a wife and two kids and a community in Harlem that mourns a good man, until the next day when he arises from his grave, an apparent miracle comes alive. But Peter Parker doesn't believe in miracles and doesn't think much of God since his Uncle Ben's cruel death. He sets out to try to talk to the family but they are beset by the paparazzi so he waits until the two kids sneak out to go and get something to eat and he talks to the daughter who is not afraid of him, especially since he rescued them from a mean photographer. She tells him about how her father was dying from cancer and how the church raised funds for his treatment but it wasn't enough and he had to stop, so he turned to a witch doctor, Don Anselmo, even though her mother was against it.

When Spider-Man goes to see Don Anselmo he runs into the Santerians.*Both Anselmo and the Santerians practice Santeria a belief system that believes "that nature binds all things together--people, animals, heaven, earth--it also connects all those things to our minds...and our souls." It's what gives the Santerians their power. They want Spider-Man to go to Cuba and find out what happened to Julio when he went there after Anselmo told him he would find something there because something went wrong. He came back mean, angry and violent. And they can't go to Cuba because they are wanted fugitives there. Also, Paker Industries Uncle Ben Foundation turned Julio down for help so his friend Peter Parker owes him they say.

When Peter Parker gets to Remedios, Cuba he finds a woman who remembers Julio and finds out that she recommended that he search out a Babalu, which is a spirit like an angel or saint that you pray to for health or strength or peace. She saw one when she was a young girl and her brother was sick and the Babalu came and took her brother's illness into his body and cured him. Only through prayer can you find a Babalu, but she tells him to try Professor Toledo who teaches philosophy and is a bit of a doubter. The Professor tells him that that night in Rincon they are holding a feast for him at the Church of St. Lazarus so Peter hitchs a ride there and changes into Spider-Man and finds a trap set for him. He sees a vision of Uncle Ben and is caught up in a twisted mind boggle.

Meanwhile back in Harlem, the Santerians arrange a small apartment fire to lure the family out and separate Julio from his family into a car with some of them to talk to him and try to reason with him but get nowhere. Then Julio goes too far and kills someone in the name of the Lord or what he is calling the Lord. Hank McCoy and Tony Stark make welcome appearances in this book. This book explores faith in a unique way with Peter Parker as the non-believer who struggles with what he sees and with the faith he notices in others. Can Spider-Man and the Santerians save Julio and his soul?

3.0 out of 5 stars It's basically about faith
Reviewed in Germany on October 27, 2018

A Little too much political and religious propaganda for my taste. Spidey ending up in a church questioning his atheistic world view... really??? And after reading the book you also know that Raul Castro is the bad guy in Cuba and not better than his older brother Fidel. I just give this book 3 Stars because I liked Bianchi's art and it was funny here and there. But it fits the long row of rather weak Marvel publications of the last years.

Ce trade paperback regroupe une histoire complète en six chapitres de Spider-man, publiée en une mini-série de six comic books publiée au premier semestre 2016, parallèlement à la série principale consacrée à Amazing Spider-Man sous le pilotage au long cours à succès commercial et critique du scénariste Dan Slott.
Cette mini-série voit collaborer l'étatsunien natif de Puerto Rico Jose Molina (né en 1971), scénariste de séries TV mais débutant dans les comics, et l'italien Simone Bianchi (né en 1972), dessinateur réputé, connu des Marvelites.
Le Spider-man de cette histoire est bien celui de l'après 'Secret Wars' / 'Battleworlds', le même qui vit les épisodes dits "Worldwide" sous la plume de Dan Slott. Pour cette mini-série, Spidey va se retrouver dans un des barrios latinos de New York, qui voit un de ses habitants ressusciter et même revenir de la tombe dans laquelle il avait été fraîchement enterré. Au début, tout le monde dans le barrio croit au miracle, mélange de vaudou et de christianisme mais le scientifique qu'est Peter Parker est plus dubitatif même s'il demande l'aide de Hank McCoy pour assurer sa position rationnelle ! Spider-Man mène une enquête, à la demande puis malgré, puis avec les Santerians, un quintet de super-héros du barrio de la Nueva York qui a pris l'identité de dieux de la Santería, "la" religion cubaine officieuse. Parker ira d'ailleurs jusqu'à l'île de Cuba, dans des conditions abracadabrantesques (mais, en même temps, Slott nous a proposé il y a peu un retour sur Terre de Spidey lui aussi pour le moins hénaurme !), pour enquêter sur cette résurrection et se retrouver nez à nez avec... Ben Parker ! Quel sombre et indicible mystère apocalyptique se cache-t-il derrière le miracle du retour parmi les vivants des chers décédés ?
C'est donc une histoire étonnante, dans laquelle Bianchi modifie son style à plusieurs reprises et où il est aidé de "fill-in artists" pas fabuleux pour l'aider à tenir les délais. Les dessins de Bianchi sont eux-mêmes parfois difficilement déchiffrables - et en tout cas moins dans la veine réaliste que d'habitude avec lui -, malgré le travail de jusqu'à 6 coloristes (pas tous là pour les seuls dessins de Bianchi, cela dit). Quant à l'histoire, je ne suis pas sûr qu'il s'imposait d'immerger Spider-Man dans la Santería et dans une affaire de <spoiler alert> qui relève plus du registre du Dr. Strange ou du fils de Satan. Cela dit, le résultat se lit agréablement. Un peu plus de *** étoiles mais je n'irai pas jusqu'à dire que j'adore.
