May 04, 2022David Baldeon blows me away with the imagery in this issue. There are so many visually impressive and thrilling moments in the issue and the style of the art perfectly fits the tone, pace and action of the plot. Read Full Review

May 04, 2022The comic has done an adequate job of examining Ben Reilly's deepest fears and insecurities, and the presence of Spidercide only compounds those thoughts rattling around in his head. Read Full Review

This is just so good. I didn't think DeMatteis could make Spidercide so interesting. And hey, the name of this storyline finally makes some sense, eh?

Best Spider-man book out right now. Wish The writer was the main ASM writer. Without feeling too compressed , I get a substantial amount of story with 1 issue. Please keep this going

Great issue. I really like the pathos here, which is what JM DeMatteis excels at.

I don't think this is a particularly impressive issue in terms of content. Ben's epiphany is pretty feeble, so is Spidercide's motivation, and the fake-out conclusion is underwhelming even when it's revealed to be a fake-out. But I *am* calling this a good comic, because I'm really impressed with the storytelling tricks used to build a mountain out of that molehill of content. The script is very dense, layering inner monologue on top of dialogue and action, but it never loses the thread. It's remarkably clear. The art's formidable, too, keeping the story active and urgent when Ben's navel-gazing might otherwise slow it down.
