- “Spider-Man: Homecoming is sweet, witty, and fast-moving fun.” – Jim Vejvoda of IGN
- “Tom Holland masterfully channels Peter’s teenage angst, which could easily come off as melodramatic or superficial, and infuses it with respect. Watts’s artful work makes you realize how often we don’t take teenagers’ anxieties, joys, and fears seriously. Peter’s life in Homecoming is a frustrating, jagged journey toward figuring out what kind of person he is.” – Alex Abad-Santos of Vox
