• They say the road to Hell is paved with good intentions, and in BEN REILLY's case, that may be literal!
• For months, Ben's attempts to cure a young girl's rare illness have proved fruitless - that is, until a mysterious benefactor from the DIOGENES INITIATIVE reaches out to him with the promise of salvation...for a price.
• Ben's made his fair share of bad choices in the past, but will it matter if he makes this one for the right reasons? And more importantly, will that be enough to save his soul?

One of the best written issues of Ben Reilly: Scarlet Spider is marred by new series artist Bruno Oliveira's uneven art. Read Full Review
I can feel this book building towards its end and this issue felt like it was just stretching the story to 25 issues if I’m honest. I won’t say this was a bad issue, just a bit of a dull one where the whole plot is basically a chase scene with the two scarlet spiders. This is hardly Peter David’s best work, but it’s still better than some of the stuff Marvel has been putting out lately.
The art work however looks very rushed, which knowing Marvel it could very well be the case and the artist was probably underpaid too which definitely doesn’t inspire great work.
Overall not really worth your $4, but as it’s so close to the end I imagine everyone getting this book now is just sticking with it to complete the collection more
