Grab yourself a bottle of Pepsi Blue and a bag of 3D Doritos and pick this book up! You're gonna love this issue as much or more than you've loved the whole series. As the saying goes "don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened". Read Full Review

Baldeon is a powerhouse with action and emotion in this issue. The art is vibrant, beautifully detailed and visually engaging. A wonderful looking issue with things to capture your eye in every panel. Read Full Review

The finale to the Ben Reilly miniseries went out on an action-packed note. Read Full Review

This is the book for Ben Reilly fans who are mad about his hard road and fan pushback, delivering on the promise of a "lost adventure" that feels like an regular Spider-Man book from 1996 (in ways good and not so much.) Read Full Review

There was no reason for this mini-series to be as good as it was. What a great finale. I hope with this, Marvel can bring Ben back as himself, not as wannabe-Kaine.

This is the best spider-book on stands! It doesn't dwell on wasting our time with filler or mystery box characters or 6 months later. It focuses Ben Reily as a character and his relationship with his clone brother Spider-cide. The art he was fluid and supported the action well. I hope we get more of these by the same creative team!

A really fun miniseries. DeMatteis still has it.

The creators tie a tidy, well-illustrated bow on this little story. There's solid character growth all over the place, good fight scenes, and consistent themes tying the characters together. That consistency still tends to make the character work feel a little repetitive, but that's a very minor fault. I like seeing creators reach for daring goals. But this series reminds me that it's also fun to see experienced folks work with utter confidence inside their wheelhouse.

I miss this Ben Reilly. Not Zeb Wells/Current Ben Reilly

I'm sorry, I love JMD but this ending was just terrible, it felt really cliched and predictable and the script was pretty cheesy
