Nov 18, 2005When the comic industry ultimately dissolves in the mists of history and all accounts are one day settled, this issue will be nothing but chaff blowing away in the wind. Utterly, unforgivably pointless. And it didnt have to be. Read Full Review

Nov 22, 2005This entire crossover feels incredibly shoe-horned into Spider-Mans world for little purpose other than to create buzz around an event which exists solely to increase readership of the Spidey titles. At the same time, Marvel have unfathomably chosen to portray the character in a very unfaithful way; I dont think Ive ever seen the ever-tenacious Spider-Man display such a lay-down-and-die attitude before, and his apparent resignation to his fate makes for dull reading in an already directionless story. Id be interested to know just how much of this story is from Hudlin and how much has been influenced by whatever editorial diktat is co-ordinating "The Other," as I suspect itll only be with the advent of JMS issues that we really find out where all this is meant to be heading. However, six issues is a long time to string out a tale which effectively amounts to little more than a prologue for Stracynskis real story, and by the time those issues arrive next month I wouldnt be s Read Full Review

Do we live in such cynical, unprofessional times that Marvel are content to put out utter shite, safe in the knowledge that because it's a crossover, we'll buy it anyway?

Not a bad issue overall, but there are some weird ideas... Like aunt May and MJ in Iron Man's armors... Or breaking into castle Doom to use time machine only to see parents... Yeah, it is understandable why they wanted it, it's just seem very strange, that's all. Pat Lee is still not my favourite artist and I hated this issue as a kid. Now, as a grown up person, I can say, that it is not the worst thing I read, but it could be much better. Well, Peter actually said goodbyes to his family and after that he can die much calmer.
