    Unfortunately, the series is rushing to the finish line a bit too quickly, with some of the developments in this issue not receiving the full attention they deserve. It doesn't help that the Spider-Woman backup feature isn't holding up its end as it slides into overwrought melodrama. Read Full Review

    Spider-Island #3 is a rather unremarkable entry in what has been a fun, if inessential, series. Paco Diaz and Frank D'Armata's art remains strong, in a very 90s sort of way, but the familiar waxing and waning, constantly unresolved conflicts of Gage's script are growing repetitive. DeFalco, Frenz, and Buscema's backup remains a solid chapter in the Spider-Girl mythos, though the decision to divide it into five tiny parts hurts the flow of the storytelling. Read Full Review
