Comic Book Revolution - Kevin Lainez
Sep 02, 2019Spider-Man: Life Story #6 was an emotionally-charged conclusion for a series that will go down as one of the best Spider-Man stories in the characters history. Chip Zdarsky and Mark Bagley did a phenomenal job wrapping up the Peter Parker's life as Spider-Man in a way that appropriately paid off to all the character's experience over the decades since his debut. The interactions with Mary Jane Watson, Miles Morales, Aunt May and Otto Octavius further elevated the impact this issue had. If you are a Spider-Man fan I highly recommend picking up Spider-Man: Life Story when it is collected in trade paperback form. Read Full Review

Weird Science Marvel Comics - Branden Murray
Aug 28, 2019Overall, Spider-Man: Life Story concludes with some fun action, a couple nice surprise twists, and a few heartfelt emotional moments making the series worth checking out as a trade down the line if you've been holding out. While the issues always seemed to get off to a slightly strange start, that seemed largely due to the concept of the theme at play here, because second read through are definitely a benefit with some knowledge going in. Bagley can still draw Spider-Man comic with the best of them and the art team as a whole did a steller job the entire run. Read Full Review

You Don't Read Comics - Jason A. Fleece
Aug 28, 2019On paper, Spider-Man: Life Story was an exciting venture. The creative team is top-notch, and the idea lent itself to so many exciting possibilities. Its a shame that Zdarsky and Bagley and the rest decided to wallow in the misery instead. Read Full Review

ComicBook.com - Chase Magnett
Aug 28, 2019Like the overall story of Life Story, this issue tries to fit too much into a package that quickly discovers there's never enough time. However, there's more to be liked in these pages than not, and makes it clear that ambition is never entirely wasted. Read Full Review

Spider Man: Life Story 6 is the best issue of the series and Life Story is already, in my opinion, a Modern Marvel classic. This issue had so many twists and turns and it perfectly balanced action, suspense, and emotion. Beautiful work by Bagley

This series started strong and stumbled in the middle, but I believe it stuck the landing. No spoilers, but one page was just, wow. One of my favorite surprises that I've seen in a comic in a long time. Well played Chip.

Nice little ending Zdarsky got. I'm not the first person to say this, but I wish this series was 12 issues instead of just 6. The ending felt very rushed in the past 2 issues, with tons of exposition bubbles and text bubbles to fill in the gaps. Also Peter's son from the last issue was implied dead, but he shows up here just fine, which was a little odd. I can't say enough about Bagley's art, which is just amazing. He's never drawn Spider-Man better than here, and you can really see his love for the character. Zdarsky also can't be ignored, he really gets the Peter character and what makes him relatable. Peter Parker is why Spider-Man is one of the greatest heroes, not the other way around; it's his relatability and his ability to ov more

And so ends Zdarsky's love letter to Spiderman, on a very high note with the best issue of the miniseries. Can we make him the writer of AMS already ? And as for Mark Bagley, if he needed to prove once more he's the seminal spidey artist, he just did in a most spectacular way.

Spidey's final mission saves the world from the villainous aftermath of the Civil War and neatly ties off this series' dangling plot threads. I found a few of the choices along the way goofy, but the mood of the finale was impeccable. It raised pleasant goosebumps; totally satisfying. The reimagining of the Superior Spider-Man was particularly clever.

***Reviews the entire series*** A comic series that will stand the test of time. Zdarsky has really given rise to his career by producing probably one of thee best works in his time, Spider-man: Life Story. Following Spider-man in real time, from his introduction to in 1963 to the year 2019, it focus on 6 different decades in Spider-man's life, and how he deals with what each decade of Marvel history brings on to him. The idea alone of this run is very innovative and albeit " ground-breaking " is how comic books, especially in universes like Marvel are taught. Putting Spider-man in real time and aging him to see who he would become really adds layers on how we view Spider-man over the generations. The art by Mike Bagley, amazing. His more

Prelude: Spider-Man: Life Story reaches the '10s. Can Zdarsky land this story? The Good: This issue works so well, wrapping up the story, villains and Peter's arc all within the context of the 10s. As always it has a spin on the troubles of the time but the appearances from this decade really put a smile on my face. Great conclusion to Peter and everyone around him. The Bad: Due to the nature of the story, there isn't much definition on the state of the world, just a snapshot of what's happening. Conclusion: The conclusion to Life Story, Zdarsky doesn't disappoint. All I can hope for is many more of these since this is such an interesting Earth.

I really enjoyed this series and think that the concept for it was well worth the investment (and hopefully so was the return). For this specific issue however, I felt like it was a bit choppy and, given the gravity of previous "Life Story" issues. Given it's disjointed nature - it was still entertaining, and the concluding pages seemed to be a nice "tip of the cap" to the long standing MJ storyline. Overall, it's certainly worth the read but among the weaker members of the "Life Story" family.

For what has been a great series to me, felt like the final issue was put together by a different team entirely. I'm pissed this was the end result
