Sep 30, 2025Spider-Man & Wolverine #5wastes no time over-complicating itself with a moral high ground it can't possibly reach. Buzzing with too much to do and not enough pages, there isn't a single part of this issue that feels as though it has the room to be the best it could, from reveals to art. That being said, the kitschy charm of this book's love for the 90's remains intact. Read Full Review

Plot
Spider-Man and Wolverine are in another part of New York with Teresa, Peter's sister, who just shot Wolverine with bullets from the Muramasa sword. She saw the same video and is also certain that Wolverine killed her parents.
The mysterious DREADSHADOW appears and reveals that he was a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent whose daughter died at the hands of the villain ENFORCER, who was captured years ago by Wolverine and Spider-Man. They turned him over to the authorities, but he escaped.
Teresa, Spider-Man, and Wolverine defeat DREADSHADOW, who dies due to a malfunction in his temporal bracelet. At the RAND Corporation, they manage to restore the video where Wolverine supposedly murders Peter and Teresa's parents. The video shows more+ Like • Comment -

Definitely feels inspired by the mcu's captain America movies.
It had its own spin for sure and I liked dreadshadow..
looking forward to what's next for this series. -

Ok issue but I do appreciate and hope that the tease of Teresa is not really Peter's sister sticks which alone makes this series worth it. Her and Silk being retcons just feels too much and I find Silk's original at least slightly more reasonable plus she's a fun character.

Well, after an arc kind of hyping him up, I found Dreadshadow's story quite underwhelming. The idea of Spider-Man saving a villain's life only for that villain to go on and harm someone else is interesting, but it feels like a lot to put the blame of the villain's actions on Peter. It could have been interesting but we dump the whole idea on this one single issue and it makes a lot of the past stuff again feel like a distraction from the deeper story about Peter and Theresa's parents. Even then, it feels like that issue was resolved way too easily. Also, I don't really understand how Logan was supposed to survive a Muramasa bullet. So dumb.
At least the art is cool. -
