Spider-Society #1 is a great addition to the Spider-Man multiverse. Writer Alex Segura and artist Scott Godlewski feel right at home in this world and it shows on each and every page. Spider-Society is an immersive comic experience chalked full of various Spider-People allowing for an exciting comic for any Spider-Man fan. Read Full Review
The plot was exciting with a surprise attack from the Sinister Squadron, along with Madame Web's powers not working, and not even mentioning the surprise twists in the comic. Something I really enjoyed seeing all of the personalities come out from the members of the Spider-Society through their own dialogue. I think it would be really difficult to write a comic about so many different characters who are so connected, but Alex Segura really did well with it. Personally, I would have liked more explanation on a couple things, but I'm sure that'll happen in due time. Read Full Review
Intriguing with some fan favorite characters on a brand-new team. How will these guys get along? It is unclear. But what is clear is that this is a comic worth checking out. Read Full Review
Spider-Society #1 will please anyone who just wants to see a bunch of Spider-Men gallivanting around and having an adventure. But, pacing problems and a boring visual style keeps this from being anything more than just mildly entertaining. Read Full Review
Spider-Society has potential, but at this point, it's leaving a little too much to be desired. Read Full Review
This whole concept that's been running through the Spider-verse books and everything isn't my favorite thing ever. I do like "lots of versions of the same character" ideas, but the interversal spider agency thing is kinda meh. I enjoyed the animated movies as their own thing, but don't need a whole "thing" made of it in the comics. I picked the book up simply because of the nice Artgerm cover, and since I bought it anyway decided to read it. I did enjoy it, mostly just for the character beats and interactions. A lot of the writing was hammy and the plot is meh, but the art was solid and it was enjoyable enough for me to probably pick up #2.
Somewhere maybe there is a universe where I'd be interested in this ever-expanding line of alternate Spider-Men, but it's not this one.
Al Ewing's "Venom Horse" backup strip in last week's Venom War seems to be a sneaky criticism of the phenomenon of proliferating alternates: "...pure simulacrum, with no reference to reality at all. At this stage, signs merely reflect other signs. Anyway, I'm Venom Horse!"
