After last issue’s disappointing conclusion to the Fries arc, Snyder comes ROARING back to full-form this issue with a truly terrifying introduction for the absolute version of Bane, which I think is far more epic and scary than his original introduction way back in 1992. Dragotta’s art showcases his best work yet, and the combination with the writing and coloring is absolute perfection! Bruce more

I mean, it doesn't really help when Hickman doesn't want to focus on Spider-Man at all. Peter can be in the issue, but if the focus is entirely on the supporting cast, that just leaves him and his family very lackluster. This doesn't mean Hickman is a bad writer, or this is a badly written story, quite the opposite. But this series does deserve criticism for handling the main character poorly. Sure, letting Hickman cook is good, but after 17 issues, I am left disappointed.

Got to be honest, felt being whelmed. It's nice seeing Harry Osborn and Gwen Stacy get some love and shine, but at least make dont make the solicitors completely false. I get sometimes comic books has to lie to keep a plot twist or certain story beats secret so it won't get spoiled, but there's a limit to how much I can tolerate.
