The strong, thematic threads of 'Eight Deaths' are frankly unraveling as the story arc stumbles towards a contrived and seemingly predictable finale. Its everything readers expect with none of the time devoted to the juicy melodrama of the Spider-Man character. Read Full Review
Amazing Spider-Man #68 struggles with a forced premise and predictable twists, making it feel like filler in the larger "8 Deaths of Spider-Man" arc. While the issue delivers some visually striking moments, the emotional weight of Peter's decision feels unearned, and the action lacks real stakes. With inconsistent artwork and a thin plot, this installment doesn't quite live up to Spider-Man's usual high standards. Read Full Review
Amazing Spider-Man #68 continues to demonstrate that Marvel has no intention of writing a good Spider-Man story anytime soon. Justina Ireland's plot is sloppy and boneheaded, buoyed only slightly by decent art. If Joe Kelly can't turn this ship around when he takes over, Amazing Spider-Man will be Marvel's flagship title no more. Read Full Review
Amazing Spider-Man #68 has the elements to be a compelling chapter in "The 8 Deaths of Spider-Man story arc. Unfortunately even those compelling elements, such as Peter Parker sacrificing his remaining lives to save those dear to him, they don't negate the things that continue to drag down the overall story.

Plot
Cyra shows Peter that because he hasn't faced off against the offspring of Cyttorak, his Aunt May and all those who help from F.E.A.S.T. died. Peter trades all the lives they have left with Coulson (Death) to resurrect them.
While the X-men try to stop Callix, she takes Peter to his father Cyttorak, to fall into Callix's trap and that's where Peter dies.
This installment continues to lower the level of emotion with which this story arc began, the story is becoming cumbersome because it doesn't advance to anything significant.
Art
It is very detailed with few textures and maintains the dynamism with body language and well-delineated facial expressions. It plays a lot with angles and panels. more
This was…. Better I guess? Peter snaps out of his uncharacteristic funk and suddenly cares again. It’s done so unsmoothly though that it feel like the writer forgot how the story was supposed to go. Thankfully we are in the home stretch.
Yeah... I didn't like it. It just felt too sudden and random after two issues of moping to go "oh yeah people do matter lol". It just feels like it's rushing to epic finale out of sudden... the pacing has been pretty bad for this comic. 66-68 have definitely been the weakest issues so far. And I guess Spider-Man didn't die 8 times?
Bleh. The rotating writers with their conflicting visions really drag this series down. For a story taht is supposed to have Spider-Man in it, he barely shows up and it's the X-men. Like, this story is literally called THE Death of SPIDER-MAN, and he isn't even the main character in this "event".
Money were exchanged to create such an amateurish pice of...
