    This is a closing chapter in many ways and it's a touching one that celebrates and reflects upon the years that Bendis and Pichelli has delivered. Where things go from here will be interesting, but much like their original work, it feels like the two have opened doorways of possibilities. Read Full Review

    Major Spoilers - Matthew Peterson Jan 1, 2018

    In short, this book made for a nice read, but it suffered from an ambiguous ending and Bendis' trademark "No Climax" climax, but the charm of the dialogue and characters helps to offset that somewhat. Spider-Men II #5 is a book that I didn't understand the need for when it was announced, but now appreciate as a story and as a bookend for that long ago landmark #1 issue. Read Full Review

    Black Nerd Problems - Omar Holmon Dec 27, 2017

    Spider-Men II isn't the best of both worlds meeting that it's predecessor was. Although new, we get a less is more approach with this series that doesn't equate at the end. This almost feels like a side mission. There is a surprise at the end that may be joyous for some but may leave others saying “again?” Read Full Review

    Comic Book Revolution - Kevin Lainez Jan 1, 2018

    Spider-Men II was an absolute dud. As exciting as it was to see Peter Parker and Miles Morales spending time together the story they were placed in did not live up to its predecessor mini-series. The focus on the older Miles Morales and his unknown history with the Marvel Universe completely fell flat as Bendis forced to much of a connection with Kingpin. By the end of things what could've been exciting fan moments turned out to be a disappointing end to Spider-Men II. Read Full Review
