This series has grown on me rather quickly and this issue easily lives up to my expectations. All the things I love about Spider-Man and the X-Men are on display with issue #5, from humor to characterization to creativity. It's full of clever recombinations of classic Marvel stock.

The art is strong but Marco Failla seems to be shaking off a few minor cobwebs after a month away. All in All, Spider-Man and the X-Men #5 lacks the spark that the series' jaunt to the Mojoverse possessed, leaving it a really fun but unspectacular issue, hovering somewhere around the middle of this title's offerings.
