He's confronted the deaths of family and friends - but how will the passing of a fellow hero rock the Wall-Crawler? And what place does Spider-Man have in a world without Captain America?

    However, one element that will always make these Fallen Son issues readable is the high-calibre roster of artists that Marvel has assembled for the project: this time, it's David Finch. I've enjoyed Finch's work on New Avengers and Moon Knight, and he's the perfect fit for a darker story like this, bringing a shadowy, moody feel to every scene without losing the high level of detail that he manages to fit into each panel. One particularly smart touch is the subtly disguised appearance of Wolverine in the book's opening pages, crouching among the gargoyles and headstones of the graveyard as he watches over Spidey. I didn't even notice him until my second read. However, even the great art can't save this issue from feeling pretty superfluous. It's a hollow read, which purports to be deep and meaningful but sadly doesn't really have anything going on beneath the surface. Read Full Review

    Oh how I love this comic! Still my favourite part of this! The art is outstanding and I really love when Rhino is like this - super angry to the point when it gets actually scary. He's often shown as some dumb doofus and even looks funny, but not this time. Finch made an absolutely outstanding job here, Goblin was fine too.

    My thoughts about the story are a bit complicated, on the other hand... I mean, yeah, Spidey is a jerk here, but he didn't think clear, he's at a very hard moment for him and his spider-sense for some reason triggered him, so he couldn't think like "well, maybe Rhino just here for the same purpose?". By the way, for some reason Rhnio's mother name on the grave is Systevich... David, David...
