-The penultimate chapter of Spider-Verse is HERE! And after last week's shocking last page revelation, what in the heck is the Spider-Gang gonna do? This issue they prepare for the coming all out war with the Inheritors, grabbing up Spider-People from different worlds, and laying out their strategies. Meanwhile, the Inheritors are getting ready to take the battle to the Spiders by laying out their plans.
The Good: There's a lot of good stuff this issue. I think the SPOILER ALERT!! stuff with Uncle Ben being a terrible Spider-Man is a really interesting take, I mean, we were all expecting that he would be the (no pun intended) ultimate Spider-Man, since he's the one that gave people the whole "great power" stuff. But, I guess we were WAY off on that one. END SPOILER Besides that, we got a LOT of fast-paced story and action, and before you know it, this issue ends on a really great cliffhanger.
The Bad: There's a couple of things that bothered me this issue, but they were VERY minor. First, The Inheritors feed on Spider-Totems, right? So, why would they want to destroy them? That would be like me wanting to murder all the food on Earth. And second, there really should have been a "This issue takes place after Scarlet Spiders #3 & Spider-Woman #3" line in the recap page. I read this one first and, needless to say, now those issues are spoiled for me. Not a huge deal, but I would've at least liked a warning.
What You Should Do: BUY IT!!!! Besides being another solid chapter in this story, it's got some really fun bits scattered throughout the issue, and honestly, the last page of this issue is now my favorite comic page IN MY LIFE!!!! Nope, not telling you what it is, but you'll definitely know it when you see it.
SIDE NOTE: I've heard a lot of people on a lot of podcasts slam this story and this issue in particular, because Peter Parker seems to be taking a back seat in Spider-Verse. I would respectfully disagree. I think people need to take into account that this story is called Spider-VERSE. That implies that it's a story about a while UNIVERSE of Spider-Men, Woman, Animals, etc. Besides the tagline for the story is "EVERY SPIDER-MAN EVER!!". So, with that in mind, do you really think that the whole story is going to focus on JUST ONE Spider-Man? Nope, me neither. So, take my opinion with a grain of sale, but take the story for what it is, not what you want it to be. You'll enjoy it a heck of a lot more.
