This has truly become something special right here. This issue could be boring, but it so quickly morphs into the single best comic book we've had all year. Amazing dialogue. Harry and Gwen are instantly memorable. And Peter learns the most important of all lessons.

Yeaaah....You can definetly see that Johns had 5 volumes planned, and rushed the hell out of the third. The last few pages are so hilariously terrible, seriously. Should've just focuesed on making a cohesive third chapter, not...whatever the hell that was.

Sick Two-Face redesign, too bad it's wasted. Great Catwoman, terrible redesign. Great Croc, though. Heartwarming as fuck.

How was it wasted? I thought what they did with Jessica was brilliant and a sick twist. And the ending is teasing the future if there was ever more, he’s hoping to see people get more excited for another one, which he succeed I look forward to what he’s going to do with Joker.

Imagine closing an entire event in a spin-off issue that isn't even a part of the main event, but is still single-handedly, hands-down, easily, by and far, THE BEST COMIC BOOK OF THE ENTIRE YEAR.

The conclusion of Prime's entire arc after 15 years may well be one of the most epic last stands in super-hero comics of all time, and my time to quit comics. My boy did good. He honoured us. more

I can't give this comic anything less than a 10. Yes, the ending was rushed as hell (would really have benefited from having 52 issues), but, for what this comic was trying to accomplish? Like it's main character, it did so with ruthless eficciency. Carry on Slade, see you soon.
