An enormous ending to a fantastic mini-series! You're gonna be talking about this for a long, long time. A good comic shouldn't just make you think, it should make you feel. This one does both. A lot. Read Full Review

All three artists bring great energy, drama and action together on every page. There are some emotional moments that come across great visually and I enjoyed how all the styles meshed with and complemented each other. Read Full Review

Sinister War #4 is the final issue in the companion series and it finishes well enough. The comic gives more of what it promised with Spidey fighting many supervillains, though this time with several villains that some readers will recognize and others that they won't. There's some major payoff in the comic surrounding a couple characters that Spider-Man fans and readers of Nick Spencer's run won't want to miss. By the end, things are setup for the final battle between Spider-Man and Kindred in Amazing Spider-Man. Read Full Review

Sinister War had a lot of hype around it, and the conclusion paid off. Nick Spencer and Ed Brisson put together a worthy finale that sets up the end of Spencer's run on Amazing Spider-Man.The pencils and colors rock and couldn't have been much better given the large task at hand. Sinister War was a fun ride that saw Spider-Man in possibly his most dangerous battle to date! Read Full Review

Sinister War #4 has all the action and drama of a Spider-Man story cranked up to 11, as it paves the way for the end of Nick Spencer's run on the web-slinger. After reading this miniseries, I can safely say that he hewed to the old adage of "go big or go home" and it worked like gangbusters. I truly can't wait to see how the last three and a half years of Spidey stories pay off. Read Full Review

Sinister War pushes through with a new issue this week, and it brings Peter's fight with a gallery of villains to an end. Read Full Review

I would recommend this one if you are a fan of Spiderman and it seems more old-school in its approach so might suit more casual fans of the series. Read Full Review

After being excited to see how the Kindred Saga would end Sinister War #4 ended the latest Spider-Man event mini-series in utter disappointment. Nick Spencer and Ed Brisson don't even present us with a true conclusion for Sinister War. Instead this entire issue acts more as a teaser for the true ending of Sinister War that we will get in the companion story taking place in Amazing Spider-Man. By the end you are left wondering if it was even necessary to read the Sinister War mini-series. It was just a massive dropping of the ball near the end of Spencer's run on Spider-Man. Read Full Review

I'm becoming increasingly ashamed of liking this when I look back at all the backlash this issue is getting. But I can't help it. I just think it's a good comic. It's not the most plot heavy comic, and it's not the place for all the answers. That's Amazing Spider-Man. This is just a big fight. And it's well done. There's an amazing Bagley double page spread in here of Spider-Man fighting all these characters. I liked the resolution to this story. Boomerang completes his character arc by sacrificing himself for Spider-Man. For being the hero Peter thought he could be. Doc Ock ends up outsmarting Kindred, which is such a Doc Ock thing to do, and I'm very glad about that because no one wanted Ock to be a villain again, and he's not. Kindred loses here, and this time it's not some ploy, he just loses. I could see the Mephisto bookend could be annoying and frustrating to some, but I think it shows that Peter beat Mephisto. By being Spider-Man. This is a refutation to Kindred's whole ideology regarding Peter. He thinks Peter causes pain and misery to those around him, but by being a hero, he was able to reform people and make them better. Kindred was counting on these villains to kill Peter. But because Spider-Man is a hero and is a good person at his core, his own villains went against Kindred. Kindred lost, and Mephisto lost, just because Peter is such a hero. And I think that's worth something.

It seems this run is damned if it does, and damned if it doesn't. So much is overlooked by the readers because all they want is One More Day undone. The complaint that nothing is happening is kind of a bullshit complaint. It's not that nothing is happening, it's just that you aren't getting the immediate answers you want. Like, think back on how much of this run was deemed filler just because it wasn't about Kindred. And it turns out, it all mattered. And is this partly Nick Spencer's fault for creating a mystery and deciding to not fully unravel it until the very end? Yeah, I guess so. But I feel like this speaks to a broader problem with comic book fans, spurred on by the hyperbolic promises of every single story being the biggest story ever, and having a major event every single year. People don't have the patience anymore for this sort of thing, and everything a writer does before delivering every answer is overshadowed. And I have to add that caveat of *every* answer, because there have been answers, just not the big One More Day answer.

You know what, I'm not ashamed after all. more

You know what? You should be ashamed. Claiming that most of the readers overlook everything because OMD isn't undone or we aren't getting immediate answers. Do you think the pacing in the series has been the best it could be? Or having 3 different artists is the best this course of action for this series? Or that this storyline has enough story for 7 issues?

Afre - Sep 1, 2021

"Nothing happens" can be argued being bullshit claim because sure, things do happen. But because they happen so sparingly and we have to wait for the next issue to happen a bit more. This whole book's problem has been how it handles pacing during Kindred stories. And because it is poor, readers lose interest. It's not like this is bad writing from Spencer. Or that he doesn't understand Spidey or that he doesn't have a plan.

Afre - Sep 1, 2021

The problem is that we have too many issues for so little story that it starts to become annoying when we still feel like we are at the same place as the previous issue. Miss-leading synopsis don't help. But claiming that all this outrage for this is because "OMD isn't resolved" is something to be ashamed for.

Psycamorean - Sep 1, 2021

I have minor issues with the pacing, but when this book's schedule is as frequent as it is, I don't think it's a huge issue the way some people do. I don't mind multiple artists as long as they flow together, either because the styles mesh well or because there's some recognizable form of structure regarding the switches. In this issue's case, I think the styles mesh well enough.

Psycamorean - Sep 1, 2021

I don't think this storyline is stretching thin on plot. In fact, I'm convinced it needed more than seven issues. I'm worried that it may not have the page count to wrap everything up. As for the Sinister War event itself, it works as its own separate miniseries. It'll read fine in trade. It's just an action book.

Psycamorean - Sep 1, 2021

I think plenty happens in these issues, and this issue's reviews is a prime example of things being overlooked by a lot of people. I don't mind a slower pace when I'm invested in what's happening. The claim I'm making is that people weren't invested because answers weren't immediate, and therefore they disregard a lot. Including calling entire sections of this run filler. That's something that happened and continues to happen now.

Psycamorean - Sep 1, 2021

I'll give you a hint about solicitations. Don't pay attention to them. They are meant to sell and to mislead. This is not a Spider-Man problem, this is a comics problem. I don't give a shit what some intern was paid to write. I'm judging the issue on its own merits.

Psycamorean - Sep 1, 2021

I do think the outrage simply comes down to people wanting something very specific from this run and then being forced to actually read the story the writer wanted to tell while all they want is a retcon switch flipped. That's why it's the first complaint, and why everyone says the run will live or die on whether it retcons OMD or not.

Psycamorean - Sep 1, 2021

I know you are personally offended by what I said here, but it wasn't aimed at you. I don't read your reviews. If it hit a nerve then that just makes me think I'm on the right track, if I'm honest. You're free to dislike this run as much as you want, I don't care. And I won't be ashamed for thinking the outrage is kind of useless.

Afre - Sep 2, 2021

Yeah, it does hit nerve when instead of writing why you like this comic, you focus so much on "why everyone else are wrong and don't get it but I do because I'm not like the other readers, everyone else just wants OMD undone and their complaints are bullshit but everyone has a right to their opinion. I'm smarter then others and I see what Spencer is really doing and nobody else does, they just want OMD undone. Is this good? Yeah, but my in this review, I tell why you are wrong."

Afre - Sep 2, 2021

I mean I don't get it why you have to focus so much explaining that "nobody else thinks this is a 10 but I do, I'm not ashamed, you readers just don't get it". This doesn't "hit a nerve" because you like it. Go ahead and like it. It does when you start writing arrogant esseys how you are the only one who gets it. For someone who always claims "I don't care what you think about this comic", you care a lot what they think about why you like it.

Psycamorean - Sep 2, 2021

I never claimed to be smarter than anyone else. I fall prey to this just as much as anyone else. But my explanation for what I think Nick Spencer did with this issue is also my explanation for why I liked it. And also, I don't care that you didn't like it. But I do think it's interesting to examine why fans like or dislike a comic.

Psycamorean - Sep 2, 2021

You could get over what you deem to be my arrogance because I explained why I liked the issue, just as many people here have explained how they didn't. You could challenge what I said about the contents of the issue. That's fine, go ahead, explain your side of it. But you already said the writing is good and Spencer understands the characters. It's literally a matter of pacing to you. And my whole point is that people are just rejecting this because they aren't getting the answers they want yet.

Psycamorean - Sep 2, 2021

You admitted right here that that's the case with you, but I guess I'm just being arrogant to point that out.

Afre - Sep 2, 2021

Don't presume to think that my problem with this series' pacing is that I don't get answers.Yes that annoy me during Last Remains but I'm fine not getting answers or that OMD wasn't resolved yet. My problem with pacing in this series is that because it's basically just fighting and doesn't have nearly enough character moments in this to make it worthwhile. Otto meets Peter for the first time after what, ASM #800 and we get only few scenes of them interacting.

Afre - Sep 2, 2021

Otto's change of heart could've been one of the focus of this series. Same goes with Fred's sacrifice. Because Fred was basically sidelined after ASM #66, this just comes out of nowhere and doesn't have that impact Spencer hoped it could. And we have Ana and Last Son of Kraven interacting for the first time to my knowledge? Nothing. Because this whole story was just spinning it's wheels while having a bit of teases here and there, it doesn't do anything else.

Afre - Sep 2, 2021

Did we really need Kindred monologuing for 4 issues about the same stuff? No. I said Spencer is an excellent writer and understands the characters, but that potential isn't used here. It's just fighting with a plot that moves with snail's pace. Strange and Mephisto really didn't do anything here either. Just more teasing. So that is my problem with pacing. Not having the OMD undone or answers to Kindred's backstory. It has the same horrible pacing King's Batman run had and other similarities.

Afre - Sep 2, 2021

So yes I do think you're being too arrogant thinking what my problems with this are.

Psycamorean - Sep 2, 2021

The whole point of this miniseries is the fight. I don't think shoving Otto in would've helped anything. And what do you mean, Fred was sidelined? There was only one arc between King's Ransom and Sinister War. And people were complaining about Fred being so prominent in the series before that. His sacrifice really doesn't come out of nowhere if you remember the whole point of his character arc in this run. As for Ana and Kraven interacting, what would be the place for that?

Psycamorean - Sep 2, 2021

This miniseries is one big fight scene. They're fighting for their souls. At what point would there be time for them to have a conversation about anything? The whole point of Kindred's monologue is that Peter deserves this for how he's impacted those around him. Fred's sacrifice and Otto's betrayal fly in the face of that. That's the story here.

Psycamorean - Sep 2, 2021

Most of your complaints are just you wanting something the story wasn't giving you, not about the merits of the story itself. The only one that's not that is your point about Fred's sacrifice, but I don't know what to tell you about that. Boomerang disappeared for what, four issues if you include the Chameleon one-shot? This miniseries has shown more than once that he is partial to Spider-Man. His whole motivation going into this event was to find a missing person, which is a heroic thing to do.

Psycamorean - Sep 2, 2021

His sacrifice only comes out of nowhere if you're not paying attention.

Psycamorean - Sep 2, 2021

Oh and you talk about the misleading solicitations? The solicitations for this miniseries has been on point. Did you want them to lie to you this time? I don't know what you expected here but everything points to this being a giant fight and that's what it was.

Afre - Sep 2, 2021

#2: "Spidey’s classic problem has been multiplied by two and you don’t even know the HALF of it. Twelve of Spidey’s greatest villains are out for blood: Spider-Man’s and each other’s! Ock and Vulture make their big plays this issue that are going to shake up NYC in ways you didn’t think were possible!" - Neither of them barely appear in the issue.

Afre - Sep 2, 2021

#3: "• You haven’t read the end of SINISTER WAR #2 yet, but when you do, YOU WILL BE VERY MAD YOU HAD TO WAIT TWO WEEKS FOR THIS! • Things have never been worse for Spider-Man, and it’ll be a MIRACLE if he makes it through this alive." - TBH, this was pretty correct, most of us were annoyed that after lackluster second part we had to wait two weeks for something happen.

Afre - Sep 2, 2021

#4: "Things just got worse for Spider-Man. IT Didn’t seem possible, but it’s true. If you think you have seen Spider-Man take a beating, you haven’t seen anything this brutal." - Well, they didn't Opposite really. Things got better and Spidey got much worse beating during Last Remains, so...

Afre - Sep 2, 2021

And Fred's sacrifice feels cheap. Three panels and that's it. After 67 issues of buildup and that is it. I just wanted more for that. And Otto's betrayal just isn't explored enough, like I said. This whole event is just fighting for their souls yes, but is that the worthwhile conclusion that Hunted, King's Ransom, Last Remains, Chameleon Conspiracy? Hell, even Lizard's duplicate isn't addressed. All this is supposed to be a grand conclusion but it's just fighting and nothing really concludes.

Afre - Sep 2, 2021

And you can't honestly think that Kindred's monologue has anything worthwhile to add. It's just same shit his said since Last Remains and it's starting to get so tedious. There are some good parts the buried deep, but when most of it is just "You bad Pete, sins Pete, sins, remember sins?" It's so overdone. And I share the same problem as you. There are only 2 issues left and so much to wrap up. It doesn't feel like it will be a worthy conclusion to all this Spencer's teasing and buildup.

Federico Liguori - Sep 2, 2021

You rate everything 10/10 when it comes to this ASM series, so you're not even reliable.

Psycamorean - Sep 2, 2021

I'm pretty sure the second issue has Doc Ock's Sinister Six and the Savage Six go after Spider-Man. And this latest synopsis is referring to the cliffhanger of last issue where things did indeed get worse. And really, Spider-Man was killed more in Last Remains, I guess? But beaten? Not at all.

Psycamorean - Sep 2, 2021

Fred's sacrifice is what turns the tables and gives Spider-Man a way to survive a massive fight. It may have been quick but it was pivotal to Spider-Man surviving this. I don't know where you got the idea that this was the conclusion. But that's issue 74 apparently. At least going by the solicitation.

Psycamorean - Sep 2, 2021

And I think Kindred's narration is important to the story because otherwise the conclusion to this miniseries doesn't have an impact.

Psycamorean - Sep 2, 2021

@Federico Liguori When did I say I was reliable? This is my opinion and I'll defend it if you have an argument to make.

Afre - Sep 2, 2021

You think Spidey didn't take a worse beating during his fight with Kindred and after that torture? I would say. And in Sinister War #2, Sinister Six appears in two pages and alongside Savage Six in the final page. So no, I wouldn't say they did "big plays".

Afre - Sep 2, 2021

And I don't know would I say this is a conclusion, it's not like this is the final issue of this mini-series or that it's called "Sinister War: Conclusion"... Yes we still have two issues more but you really think Spencer has enough time to conclude every setup and teasing? And maybe the monologue would be more important if it wasn't the 20th time he does it. Without adding anything. If you pay attention to the series, you'll see that Kindred has done this same monologue so many times.

Psycamorean - Sep 2, 2021

It is a conclusion to this story, but you are treating it as though it's the conclusion to all the plot threads brought up by those other arcs, when issue 74 is the issue that claims that.

Afre - Sep 3, 2021

Maybe I just want some kind of conclusion. It's so annoying to have this series be such a letdown for me. I've been huge fan of Spencer's run, and seeing stumble during the finish line so much is so annoying after reading this for 3 years. Especially when I know that he could do so much better. So yeah, even if our conversation can be strong, I don't mind you giving it a 10. Maybe I'm jealous that I can't enjoy it as much as you do. Even when I want to.

This whole series was mostly just filler. While we saw most of what Kindred was up to in Amazing, these 4 issues covered Spidey fighting a horde of rampaging supervillains. It would have been better if there was more motivation to this than just being a means of stalling Spider-Man while Kindred plots his final move.
One of the highlighted moments is how Doc Ock gets the better of Kindred. He has stated on more than one occasion over the last 6 decades that he's not one to be manipulated, and that's still the case with him to this day.
I'm sorry to see nothing was resolved with the real and fake Electro. Now that the real one's back we can ditch the female wannabe (That or she could make up a new name and be his partner in crime).
Now that this is over the final showdown awaits. Hmm. This plot would make a keen video game. more

Art was good not great which I wanted. though I would prefer that only Mark Bagley (my favourite Spidey artist) only drawn the entire issue or two artist at most.
Man, Boomerang died. I started to like the guy but he died. That sucks. But I like the fact he died on his own term with saving his friend.
I liked the Doc Ock role here.
But I felt Three teams, Savage Six, Sinister Six and Superior Foes would be enough instead of 6 teams. Morlun and Sin Eater and everyone else looked kinda forced. With 3 team, focus can be made them more which in turn would make it even better IMO.
Now Kindred vs Spidey showdown is coming which I expected in this issue.
Dr Strange and Mephisto conversation was quite interesting IMO.
What does Mephisto mean by "He should celebrate small victories. I have big feeling big loss is imminent." What big loss is coming?
"He is walking away from a fight where odds were devastating stacked against him." Why does this dialogue mirror something I wish to forget?
Another week to wait for Kindred vs Spidey. This is part that sucks the most.

Do someone agree with me that Spencer absolute best in Spidey was Last Remains and Hunted arc. They were Absolute best of his run. Sinister War started exciting but by the end it is lacklustre. more

It technically wasnt bad but, this mini series literally accomplished nothing worthwhile. It was just 4 issues of action and no substance.

omg this terrible

I thought this was better than the previous issue but it still was just a drawn out fight. I did enjoy Dr. Oct's role. It would have been disappointing if he was just another guy chasing spiderman in this mess. my favourite part of the whole series was seeing Otto do what he does best. I do miss him as superior spiderman. On the other hand, I did not like how Morlan was handled. It seems like a single punch took him out. I can buy into what Dr octopus did would take him out but the way it was told seemed like he was already taken out by a single punch. That's kinda the overall problem I have this this series. A massive fight with so many villains but almost none of the fight depicted seemed to matter or hold any weight.

And killing boomerang... Yeah, that sucks. I had grown to like the character. more

Man for such a promising and fun start, Spencer's run is really going out on a lull. After fully developing Boomerang into such a great character it's a shame how his death felt so rushed and almost glossed over to lose all emotional weight it should have held. The play to have Doc Oc foil kindred's plan was solid as true to the character but the conclusion to this "war" doesn't read like an end and should have had a confrontation between Peter and Kindred. Really hoping the next ASM issue has a somewhat satisfying conclusion.

At this point I just want this to end since all the problems I mentioned before are only getting worse: The bad inconsistent script, bad dialogue and the horrible art management. On top of that the OMD teasing seems like bait and switch as usual. I never ever felt like this reading ASM and it is disappointing.

It was entertaining enough for the mess of a story it is. After 4 issues of fighting doc ock saves the day and its like this series had zero importance. For Spencer's run or Spider-Man in general. How do 40 supervillains show up in NYC and not one of the 500 heroes in the area not show up to help? I think Spider-Man would have been justified texting one his super friends. And I still am waiting for this big Kindred payoff.

What was the point of all this? Other than to put Bagley draw as many Spider-Man villains as he can (and even that we didn't get much of since he didn't draw all the issues). Boomerang's sacrifice was so cheap, Ock's "redemption" was sooo predictable. Talk about event fatigue. I swear, if Spencer doesn't deliver on ASM #875 big time, his run won't be remembered pretty well. And I say that as someone who's enjoyed it.

Sinister War comes to an abrupt end. Spidey survives and Kindred is foiled when the most and least noble of the villains turn against him. The art suffers from the usual "too many cooks" problem. The script is pretty impressive, though, which I credit to Ed Brisson. This must have been hellishly difficult to write, and he did formidable yeoman work. More Spidey narration than Nick Spencer would have used, which is a treat. The resolution makes sense, but it feels too small for the buildup. It's certainly too small for the fatality incurred at the end of the fight.

As to Kindred's interminable narration, I quote the great Star Trek VI: "I'd give real money if he'd shut up."

Crap. There is no other way to describe this. It's crap. Not only that, it's a pointless crap that makes no sense. Spider-Man didn't change at all during this story arc and his life was never "ruined" as Spencer tried to imply. Nothing happened, actually... Nothing! And the way Spidey manages to get out of trouble is so idiotic I think it was written while Spencer was shitting in Marvel's toilets the day the story was approved. Thank God this garbage is over, now we only have two issues left to understand what the heck is Kindred trying to do.

So. That was it?

What a pointless storyline. I was very hyped for Sinister War but this 4 issues were just fighting. Fighting with 3 different artist working on it, which means it feels even more messy.

And the resolution? Well, we're back were we started. Things haven't moved at all since the first issue of this storyline. There wasn't any conclusion in here for storylines set up in Hunted, Sins Rising, King's Ransom and Chameleon Conspiracy. The villains showed up. They fought Spidey. Kindred has some monologue. Repeat. The end.

Yes, the plot did move in the ASM tie-ins, but not here. Why even make this one a 7-part storyline when it barely has enough story for 4 parts?

This event feels like if avengers endgame failed. Whats even worse is that Nick spencer recycles the same plot for every issue instead of progressing the plot. Spider man meets up bad guy, the bad guy beats him up, spider man escapes. Rinse and repeat

Comic written for the lowest common denominator.

So I just read this issue..... and wow. To say Marvel dropped the ball on this event is an understatement. A better analogy would be Marvel running, tripping, and faceplanted so hard that they broke their nose. This is Game of Thrones Season 8 of Spider-Man stories. This will be a non-spoiler review

Lets address the elephant in the room: The Art style. I agree with The Dark Knight Detective on this one. Yes great story with bad art can still work but this is Nick Spencer's final story on Spider-Man. You're telling me Marvel couldnt let Mark Bagley just draw every issue like how Jorge Jiminez is drawing Fear State? Even then the art is very inconsistent and it really sticks out like a sore thumb.

The second problem with this event is how underwhelming this event was. It was hyped and it had lackluster endings. I wont spoil anything, but while you see the villains being defeated, it was very lame. Doctor Strange and Mephisto meeting? We thought it was supposed to address One More Day right? Yeah, it didnt. Literally, Mephisto and Dr strange meeting had NO impact on the story. As far as I remember, I dont even think Kindred appeared that much in this issue.

Third, this issue said that Spider-Man is going to beaten so bad that its going to be shocking. So I'm expecting Spider-Man to get destroyed like how Angrir (Fear Itself) or Morlun or Iron Patriot or Jack o Lantern in Civil War or Phoenix Possessed Colossus and Magik beat him up. But the only thing that happened in this event was a C list villain gets murdered, that's literally disappointing.

I understand how Nick Spencer's run is supposed to be Peter Parker breaking the cycle and becoming more mature instead of a man-child, but when you have stories where Spider-Man saves the day by literally talking for 90 percent of the run, it is not worth it. Dan Slott may have ruined Spider-Man's character but at least his stories were pretty engaging.

Now, before people get pissed off I want to say that I am a Spider-Man fanboy, if you cant tell from my username. Spider-Man is my favorite superhero of all time, my first memory was a Spider-Man toy and my first toy, game, clothes, school supply, pillow and blanket even my own Car Keys is all on Spider-Man. I have read every single issue featuring Spider-man, and that includes the ALTERNATE versions of Spider-Man like Ultimate Spider-Man, Earth X, Exiles, Marvel Adventures, Marvel Mangaverse, etc.

The first WORDS in the Sam Raimi Spider-Man trilogy is "Who am I? You sure you want to know?" and its 3 minutes and 7 minutes in the run time. Raimi's Uncle Ben dies 43:35 in the first movie. The last WORDS in Sam Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy is Mary Jane singing "I mean to care for no one" in Spider-Man 3. Andrew Garfield's Peter Parker says "oh my god, oh my god" when he sees Uncle Ben dead around 45:45 in the first Amazing Spider-Man.

Heck, the first SENTENCE in a Spider-Man comic book was "Like Costume Heroes?" The last words Uncle Ben said in the comic before he passed away was not "With Great Power comes Great Responsibility" but it was "You're not fooling me Petey! I know you're awake, and its time for school." So Believe me when I say that I LOVE Spider-Man, even more than Marvel and DC Comics combined. I'm the biggest Spider-Man fan in my NEIGHBORHOOD, and I am writing this review as objectively as possible. I learned from my mistake with Ta Nehisi Coates Captain America review (where I was acting like a complete lunatic) which is why I deleted that review so I can learn my mistake, be more open-minded and objective as possible.

Thats why I have been giving lower scores to DC Comics now, because even though I like both Marvel Movies and DC Comic books I want to be fair as much as possible without letting my bias show through and I'm willing to admit that there are some cracks in certain comic book series.

If you honestly like this series, then thats fine because you're enjoying yourself and you shouldnt be attacked for having a harmless opinion. For me, this series is very underwhelming. I want to like this entire series, but it has inconsistent art, underwhelming resolutions, and bloated pacing. more

Yeah, and it really sucks Marvel screwed this up. I want both companies to succeed but MAN this was pretty disappointing. It's not the worst like Sins Past or Clone Saga or One More Day, but this was such a disappointing story. I honestly can't believe I'm dropping Spider-Man over Batman and Superman for god sakes.

daspidaboy - Sep 1, 2021

You know what really bugs me? This story was suppose to say "Spider-Man is going to face the WORST Beating of his life" and literally the only thing that happens in this story is a C LIST Villain gets murdered. Like Come on man, what the hell happened? That is totally lame and underwhelming

Psycamorean - Sep 1, 2021

Wait, I was about to write a review about this issue but it was slowly just becoming a response to your review, so I'd rather just do that here. Spider-Man did get relentlessly beaten in this event, if that's what you're looking for, every issue from 2 onward is a big fight. And the issue shows Doc Ock do everything he explains to Peter. We see him extract the centipede from Sin-Eater's head and we see him take one of Black Ant's antennas and reconfigure it. That's all in the issue.

daspidaboy - Sep 1, 2021

You bring up good points psycamorean. I am gonna change my review

Psycamorean - Sep 1, 2021

The only thing I really agree with is the Mephisto stuff, but I re-read the beginning of issue one, and although it was clearly written to make you think One More Day, it also makes sense as an intro and ending. The fight was the game of luck, and Peter's influence on these characters tilted the scale in Peter's favor of... surviving. He beat Mephisto by changing Boomerang and Doc Ock for the better as people, because without them, he'd be dead.

I don't like how manipulative that was, but I do still think it works.
