Sep 14, 2022In the final, and perhaps strongest chapter, Sakura Spider makes her Marvel comics debut, having already appeared in Viz Medias Deadpool: Samurai manga. While the teenage Hida Harukas backstory and abilities have much in common with Peter Parkers own, the differences and emotional beats manage to keep her otherwise familiar origin story seem fresh and engaging. Rather than simply taking a manga-esque approach, the creative team of Sanshiro Kasama and Hikaru Uesugi go all in with a story that is 100% manga, despite the choice to tell the story from left-to-right. The art is just outstanding and Sakura Spiders design is incredibly fun, if not a tad derivative. Of any of the Spiders highlighted this ish, Sakura Spider certainly has the most potential for a spin-off but hopefully in a more traditionally Eastern fashion. Read Full Review

Edge of Spider-verse remains a book much more about presenting different Spider-Man verses than a grand adventure with a villain. This comic suffers the same problem as the others, where everything seems like little unconnected adventures, where on the final page they are recruited in some way, and in some adventures, not even that. This recruitment to face a villain, who doesn't even remember who he is, is not enough to express the importance of this comic book. Of the 3 stories, Indian Spider-Man was the weakest. In addition to having nothing to connect his adventure to others, he was a hero we already knew. Sakura Spider and Night-Spider were good, especially the second one for not being a "hero" version of the spider. But even so, it wa more

I like the fact that Night-Spider is (so far) unredeemed; making Jean DeWolff her key supporting figure is cool, too. But otherwise, her debut strip doesn't have much of a story to tell, and the issue's other spiders get even less narrative mileage.
