So far the tie-in may be that the story starts out at a memorial for the apparently dead Justice Leaguers? Ridiculous. And yes, it's badly written and not much Braga can do with it. Maybe the final issue will tie in better but nothing can rescue this from being less than mediocre!

Cringey dialogue, confused artwork, a lackluster plot, horrible characterization, blatant queerbaiting, unsubtle meta commentary that misses the mark, and a tie-in that is in its penultimate issue and has yet to tie into the very event it is a part of, all combine to make such a waste of everyone's time

Nothing can rescue this book at all. DC really needs to get rid of this writer and editorial team. I hate saying that, but this is just ridiculous, how this book got published I will never know.

I see what this issue was doing but in my opinion being meta doesn't actually make your story good. I also have small personal gripes with some of the things said in the issue but not serious enough to largely effect my score.I just believe this whole series is thoroughly unenjoyable.

Her point would come across better is the author wasn't such a hypocrite. She is guilty of the very the things that she accuses the fans of being.

Run kind of felt like a waste of time unfortunately. Not to say I didn't enjoy some of it, but a lot of it felt like filler and unnecessary arcs. Won't be reading any Spider-Man for awhile I think.
