"The End of the Spider-Verse" continues! Spider-Man has changed. His powers are super-charged, enabling him to be the best Spider-Man he can be...
...but can his all-too-human body take it? A classic Spider-Villain is back and doesn't care if Spidey has his hands full.
Rated T
Spider-Man #8 is an intriguing start that works well thanks to the excellent writing of Peter Parker, who feels like his classic self here. Throw in the mystery of Spider-Boy, Spider-Man's new enhanced power, and a return of a classic villain, and you have a recipe for another iconic Spider-Man story from Dan Slott and Mark Bagley.

Spider-Man #8may have well been the true start to this secondary Spidey title. It's full of classical Marvel heart and fun that keeps a human heart directly at its center. Its restraint in penning a simple story make it such a quality comic, characters and themes matter more than shock and nostalgia. Read Full Review
Bagley delivers some thrilling and beautifully detailed art throughout the issue. The imagery is fun, bright and visually thrilling. Read Full Review
The central premise of the issue, Spider-Boy's inclusion, and the artwork all hooked me, and the future of this series look brighter than ever. Read Full Review
Spider-Man #8 gets the series back to basics, with a Spider-Man getting back to the business of saving the day until he feels his efforts aren't enough. Peter's experiment has interesting story implications, and the overall technical execution (writing and art) is an improvement, but Slott's characterization of Spidey feels outdated, and Spider-Boy's random appearances have outworn their welcome.

I didn't hate this issue, but it's so mired in cliched concepts and half- baked execution that it's hard to win me over. The art is still such a return to form for a Spidey legend though Read Full Review
This felt like a nostalgic issue for Spider-Man. I can't pinpoint the era though.

Better than ASM by far. Feels like classic Spider-Man with some stellar artwork. Bailey is fun for the brief moments we get with the character in this issue, can’t wait to see more. This is a great jumping on point if you haven’t read Slott’s run yet.
More entertaining than the core book.
Not perfect but so much better than the main Amazing Spiderman series, it's a breath of fresh air to get Peter written like he is really Peter parker and Spiderman being Spiderman. I'm not yet sold on the Spider kid thing but I'm still here and overall it felt like reading Spiderman so that's a win.
How is it that this run is better than the main Spider-Man run?
Nice to have this book out as a reprieve from Wells' run. Only issue is the add of Spider-Boy as we already have so many great Spider characters that don't get their own series that adding another just dilutes things further.
Sadly mid at best.
