A FIGHT AGAINST MADNESS! The new symbiotic monstrosity called Madness inadvertently forced Liz Allan to bond to the all-new MISERY symbiote, changing both her life and the world of the symbiotes FOREVER! Imbued with all the powers and personalities of the LIFE FOUNDATION SYMBIOTES (and more!), Madness is a symbiotic force unlike any other in the Marvel Universe. There is nowhere that Liz Allan can go where Madness cannot follow, no one she can ask for help who Madness cannot destroy and nothing she can do to stop the brutality of its onslaught.

    The action and plot advancement are plainly told, but there's too little meat on the bones of a miniseries focused on tertiary Amazing Spider-Man characters to make even that mundane delivery worth much attention for all but die-hard fans. Read Full Review

    What a pleasant ending to the biggest surprise of the year. Was it rushed? Yes. Was it still really good? Yes.

    I waffle between 7 and 7.5 but the art is great so 7.5.

    All in all, this is a bit of a mixed bag. There was a lot of great stuff going on in this book, good fights and I like Misery and how Liz is explored overall. It also leaves a bunch of linger points that could be reasonable built upon. Madness is a character that has potential. At least some.

    That being said, lots of silly stuff also occurred. Stanley's mom is clearly killed in an image (basically cut in two), but apparently makes a full recovery by the end. Spiderman's scene is also bizarre. Like he couldnt take them before but once Spearhead dies and then he is good to beat everyone? Really?
