Insights into Baileys past reveal mysteries surrounding Mr Negative and throw the 10-year-old into moral quandaries most adults cannot figure out. When Spider-Man discovers what Bailey and Christina are up to, he may not take the kids out for pizza and ice cream. But given Peter Parker's improving situation with Tabitha Briggs, the future is wide open in Spider-Boy #18. Read Full Review

Good issue, good action, spidy-quips on brand, and Peter did get a win this issue. I know its sad that I need to point it out by Marvel's editorial hates spider-man so much, even having Bailey's mom like him is a big win now-a-days, so that is nice that Slott did that.

Interesting that this run will wrap up with a Mr. Negative arc battle. Looking forward to it.

One thing that bothers me about this last part of the run is that it is constantly tied into other completely rubbish books. Like you dont need to read them, nor should you, but all the book citations to poor written slop is depressing. No need to bring this book down. It is one of Marvels better ones (not a high bar, actually terribly low now-a-days). Anyway that is a petty grip all things considered. more
