SELIM'S EMPIRE STRIKES BACK!
The full might of the EMPIRE OF THE SPIDER bears down on Miles Morales' small band of resistance fighters. For Miles, their one chance for victory will only come at a great cost - but is SPIDER-MAN prepared to pay it? And what does the future hold for BILLIE MORALES?!

Though this final chapter in the alternate universe storyline mostly sticks the landing, its conclusion is largely welcome because the arc as a whole has not been as satisfying as others in Saladin Ahmed's run on the character. Read Full Review
Miles Morales's big multiversal adventure is finally (thankfully) over, in an issue that is plagued by many of the same issues that have been there almost the entire time. Marvel Comics has failed their second Spider-Man character quite a bit these days but with only one issue left of this run perhaps there is some hope on the horizon for something more. Miles and the audience deserve something more. Read Full Review
This was OK but only OK. The fight feels like it's meant to be huge, but it's rather perfunctory; the big death is clearly meant to be heartbreaking, but the alternate universe character who dies hasn't really been made distinctive enough for the moment to really land. It's probably for the best that things are drawing to a close; this run, while overall excellent, has probably run its course. Still, I look forward to seeing Ahmed & Allen pull out their best for the finale next month!
I think it had fleeting moments of charm. It tried to be impactful with the emption it wanted to relay, but it just didn't land for me. I thought it was serviceable. I think Saladin has been good overall with his run. Curious to what's in store for his last issue.
