You Don't Read Comics - Brandon Masters
Jan 01, 2019Spider-Geddon has been one hell of a ride. While there were some rough spots with side stories being spoiled by releasing part of the story early, the event never dragged and rarely left readers confused or disillusioned over the story itself. As said above, landing even a satisfactory ending in an event is a great thing, and this entire team just nailed a 9.0 out of 10. Pick this comic up, or wait for the completed trade. Either way, this ones worth your time. Read Full Review

Dec 21, 2018Great saga. I really enjoyed the story even with my confusion. The ending could have gone many ways. I wasn't completely thrilled with the end, however, I was not disappointed either. I am not sure what I wanted the end to be, or it could be my sadness that the saga is over. Read Full Review

Monkeys Fighting Robots - David DeCorte
Dec 19, 2018The Spider-Geddon event had a lot of story to tie up in one issue. As a result, SPIDER-GEDDON #5 is extremely fast-paced once the climactic battle gets rolling. Still, it's an ambitious conclusion to the story, setting up some interesting developments for our myriad Spider-people in 2019 and beyond. Read Full Review

Black Nerd Problems - Chris Aiken
Dec 24, 2018I think that somewhere in my heart, I knew that Spider-Geddon wouldn't quite live up to the original Spider-Verse event. Ultimately, putting a lot of the important plot threads in the events various spin-off books made reading the main issues feel disjointed. Also, many of the most interesting threads were also left unresolved and saved for future series. I wish these would have been an explored more or came into play during the end game but inside the readers are left hanging. Read Full Review

Dec 26, 2018If you're a dedicated fan of the Spider family of products, you'll have a good time with this, but the event does require a solid amount of recent Spider-knowledge going in to fully appreciate what's going on up through this week's final issue. Read Full Review

Jan 03, 2019A weak finale to a weak event that unfortunately can't be saved, despite some entertaining action and character moments. Read Full Review

ComicBook.com - Nicole Drum
Dec 19, 2018Fast-paced, surpisingly nuanced for a book so full of insane action, Spider-Geddon #5 may not be perfect and may wrap things up in too-tidy of a bow, but it's a ton of fun that you won't want to miss. Read Full Review

AIPT - Forrest Hollingsworth
Dec 19, 2018A perfect microcosm of the Spider-Geddon event itself, the final issue is strong in the opening and closing, but weak in the middle. Read Full Review

Comics: The Gathering - Harlan Ivester
Dec 19, 2018Spider-Verse was better. The movie was the best. If you want a multiple Spider-Man experience, just go see the movie. It’s not just better in comparison; it’s one of the best super hero movies ever. Spider-Geddon isn’t worth your time and you’re not going to remember it in T-minus one week. It’s mainly unfocused and solid art only does so much for such a mediocre story. Pass. Read Full Review

The Beat - Joe Grunenwald
Dec 22, 2018Ultimately, Spider-Geddon was an event with some nice character work but very little substance. It's pretty clear this was put out solely to capitalize on the release of the Into the Spider-Verse animated film and the heightened interest in that stable of Multiversal spider-heroes. It's a shame that this series couldn't live up to the potential of its conflict. Read Full Review

Good ending. Everything is tidied up. The Inheritors are hopefully never coming back (although they definitely will). In the back of the comic, they say that they wanted to use this event to focus on the other spider characters outside of Peter and to close that chapter, and they succeeded in creating an interesting event that bookends the influx of spider-people. I hope that we don't get another spider-verse for a while. Focus on a few characters that have a following, don't continue to dilute the brand.

I actually quite liked this wrap-up, I think it was satisfying.

That wasn't a good event but the ending was pretty okay. Inheritors were the worst, but at least they have now new role. The ending is as good as it could be, artwork is okay. But if you haven't read the million tie-ins this event had, you're gonna be lost (Spider-Verse had this problem too).

Art was incredible! The story wrapped everything up nicely with even foreshadowing a future villain for the Superior Spider-man in his book. Feel like this story really was about a few spiders and the others were barely mention or didn't say much.

A better ending than Spider-Verse or Infinity Wars for my part. Ok their is a lot of thing happening at the same time. But I really love Annie & May. The solution is not original but why not. I really liked the effort to keep the PS4 SM with Superior and giving them some ground to work on. I think the Japanese Spider Man should have died, and their is more surviver than I anticipated. Cover - I choose the variant with multiple spider with Spider-Woman. Not related. 1/2 Writing - Their is some easy parts and maybe it's not perfect. But they can been less shameful than with Infinity Wars. 2/3 Arts - The arts is super strong. Love it. 3/3 Feeling - Not that bad ! 1/2

I might be alone in this, but I'd kinda like to read a full issue of Otto and Pete arguing about the morality of this plan. I don't like either the "murder doesn't count if we clone our victims" idea or how quickly the hero-spiders endorsed it. Forget Doc Ock, those sound like straight-up Dr. Doom ethics.

this entire event did not need to happen at all. Nothing importance came out of it, and the art was very sloppy
