    So far Edge of Spider-Verse #4 is perfect way to start the month of October in reading scary stories. Not everyone will enjoy this as horror is not for everyone or for how different it may be in contrast, but if you enjoyed Edge of Spider-Verse so far and want to see how this connects to Spider-Verse then I highly suggest you go and buy Edge of Spider-Verse #4.

    Weekly Comic Book Review - Danny Wall Oct 5, 2014

    The Bottom Line: This story has a definite goal in twisting our familiar story into one of horror, and it does so quite effectively. It's not a story I'd naturally gravitate to, but I give credit where credit is due. Some attention is given to hint at the larger story regarding totem energy, but it holds its own as a creepy, disturbing tale. Read Full Review

    Superior Spider-Talk - Tony Goodwyn Oct 2, 2014

    Taking the traditional Spider-Man tale and turning it eerily on its head, Edge of Spider-Verse #4 offers up a macabre interpretation of the wall-crawler that will leave you haunted and more than a little creeped out. The writing is bold and evocative, as is the artwork, making for a comic that will appeal to both Spidey fans and horror comics connoisseurs alike. Read Full Review

    Comic Vine - Corey 'Undeadpool' Schroeder Oct 1, 2014

    This doesnt add much to the mythos nor build of SPIDER-VERSE, but thats not really what its here for. Its here to be a single serving of another take on the Spidey we all know and love (and in this case: are glad we dont know and probably kinda hate). I especially got a little fanboy glee when the climax of the issue was revealed and just flat-out loved the horror comic aesthetic of the rest of the issue. Whether or not youre interested in the overall event, this is worth checking out if you want a solid one-shot horror comic. Read Full Review

    IGN - Tres Dean Oct 2, 2014

    This book isn't the strongest in the Edge of Spider-Verse series, but it's still a pretty fun pre-Halloween scarefest. Read Full Review

    The weakest issue of Edge of Spider-Verse yet, you could probably get away with skipping it. Read Full Review
