    This issue does shake things up a little bit for the crossover, taking better advantage of the Marvel Universe as a backdrop to Spideys tragedy, and exploring at least some of the logical avenues of investigation that a hero like Spider-Man has open to him when faced with such a fundamental threat to his health. However, if something doesnt happen soon, fans are going to tire of the vaguaries of the crossovers plot, because theres just not anything substantial enough for readers to get their teeth into and care about yet. From what weve been told, Spider-Man has cellular degeneration, a dangerous blood condition, radiation sickness and some kind of supernatural curse on his head: the catalyst for all these things still hasnt been made clear, and Spideys ultimate fate never discussed in sufficient depth to really make readers buy the idea that such a significant characters time is really up. With the best will in the world, it feels like its time to get over the early stages Read Full Review

    This isn't a bad issue in itself, but it does very little to drive forward an already-floundering storyline, and we're still no clearer as to what this big event is actually about. Hudlin deserves praise for delivering an entertaining issue against all expectations, while his bosses deserve to be taken out back and beaten with sticks for forcing this nonsensical crossover on us.

    This issue has some jokes and etc, but it's still so depressing... The conclusion even is too much, I think. There are many other famous heroes involved in this part of a story, so that's cool, but I think it was so pointless... He didn't find a clue about what is wrong with him, he didn't cure it, just found out that eventually he will die... Also, art is decent, I must say that again.
