Looking forward to the Scotsman Spider aka Spider-Laird and Spider-Rex and seeing what new characters Slott has to introduce to the Spider Verse. Issue #2 is either going to be a bold and brazen book or a let down. Either way I will be waiting with bated breath to see how to battle goes, does Madame web keep finding more spiders and will they be worth the trouble for the fight ahead. Read Full Review

Edge of Spider-Verse #1 has a lot of fun ideas but leaves me confused about the main threat. Read Full Review

The breakout star of this issue arrives in the titular "SPIDER-REX!!! by writer Karla Pacheco and artist Pere Perez. While the idea of a dinosaur-totem is awesome, this entry is at once the weirdest, most fun and, in some ways, the weakest of the entire issue. Read Full Review

As with most anthology strips, a lot of these are hampered by having no real plot to speak of -- even the nearly-full-issue-sized Araña strip. But on the other hand, the storytelling work is good all around, particularly the art, and this does a nice chunk of foreshadowing for the upcoming event. I like the idea that Araña's going to be the lead.

And I *frikking love* Spider-Rex. I know the concept is ridiculously stupid; that is the *point*.
