It honestly wasn't that bad, but it was a definite disappointment for me. I understood that Peter wasn't going to be a big part of Spider-Geddon, even to the point where his role would be nearly nonexistant. But I was really excited to hear that the reason for this would appear in this series while regular adventures would continue in Amazing Spider-Man. But honestly I was expecting something with a lot more excitement. Morlun being the villain makes sense, he's continuing one of his main missions from Spider-Verse, but honestly he isn't really doing it with any style or flair that I would expect from him. Spider-Man also gets his butt handed to him without Morlun actually going for the kill which we know he can from all the deaths in Spider-Verse. I really loved Peter and Jameson's interactions though and it actually kinda saved the issue for me.

A fun tie-in that is mostly pointless. Mostly just a recap, but it is cool to learn that Doctor Strange learned about the rest of the Infinity Stones on the same day he met Thor in Thor: Ragnarok.

The prelude comics don't usually add much to the core story, but I think this does enough to add onto the current story even if a few things don't make sense in the context of when Captain America: Civil War and Black Panther takes place. Also, not really sure why Steve is wearing his costume when he rescues his team from the Raft. A weird inconsistency that could've been avoided.

It's really hard for me to rate this issue. I love Joker, but I really hate this version of Riddler. I just feel like it's all wrong. Everything I love about that character isn't present here, and it really is dragging down this story for me.
