Would you kindly enlighten me on where this series lies against the current ASM run? I gave up Spiderman back when they retconned everything with Brand New Day. I picked this run up from the beginning, and now am about to get into ASM again starting with the death of *a character* from a few issues back. Are they just separate stories/universes?
Spider-Man #8

"The End of the Spider-Verse" continues! Spider-Man has changed. His powers are super-charged, enabling him to be the best Spider-Man he can be...
...but can his all-too-human body take it? A classic Spider-Villain is back and doesn't care if Spidey has his hands full.

May 03, 2023Spider-Man #8 is an intriguing start that works well thanks to the excellent writing of Peter Parker, who feels like his classic self here. Throw in the mystery of Spider-Boy, Spider-Man's new enhanced power, and a return of a classic villain, and you have a recipe for another iconic Spider-Man story from Dan Slott and Mark Bagley.

May 03, 2023Spider-Man #8may have well been the true start to this secondary Spidey title. It's full of classical Marvel heart and fun that keeps a human heart directly at its center. Its restraint in penning a simple story make it such a quality comic, characters and themes matter more than shock and nostalgia. Read Full Review

Weird Science Marvel Comics - mrgabehernandez
May 07, 2023Spider-Man #8 gets the series back to basics, with a Spider-Man getting back to the business of saving the day until he feels his efforts aren't enough. Peter's experiment has interesting story implications, and the overall technical execution (writing and art) is an improvement, but Slott's characterization of Spidey feels outdated, and Spider-Boy's random appearances have outworn their welcome.

May 10, 2023I didn't hate this issue, but it's so mired in cliched concepts and half- baked execution that it's hard to win me over. The art is still such a return to form for a Spidey legend though Read Full Review

This felt like a nostalgic issue for Spider-Man. I can't pinpoint the era though. JOIN THE DISCORD: https://discord.gg/xJz6buvNFZ MY PHYSICAL COLLECTION (FOR SHOWING OFF): https://psycamorean.libib.com/

Better than ASM by far. Feels like classic Spider-Man with some stellar artwork. Bailey is fun for the brief moments we get with the character in this issue, can't wait to see more. This is a great jumping on point if you haven't read Slott's run yet.

How is it that this run is better than the main Spider-Man run?

Not perfect but so much better than the main Amazing Spiderman series, it's a breath of fresh air to get Peter written like he is really Peter parker and Spiderman being Spiderman. I'm not yet sold on the Spider kid thing but I'm still here and overall it felt like reading Spiderman so that's a win.

Nice to have this book out as a reprieve from Wells' run. Only issue is the add of Spider-Boy as we already have so many great Spider characters that don't get their own series that adding another just dilutes things further.

It's a remarkably self-contained and well-told story, considering the variant mess it spun out of. It looks good and it rolls along smoothly. The characters' choices are awfully silly, though. Like Silver Age silly--and Spider-Boy nibbling around the edges and hanging a few lampshades on the silliness doesn't help matters.
