While the art is still in full-blast tour de force mode, the script left me feeling whelmed at best. I think the creators were doing their level best to make a rather routine resolution feel intense and sinister, and I think the artist was a lot more successful than the writer. Which is not to say the script & plot are in any way bad; they're just a lot less compelling without the sense of mystery that enhanced the previous issues.

This is readable enough, but I didn't feel like it worked, especially as its own mini. If it's a story taking place apart from the continuity, it didn't bring enough to the table to be an effective study of the character. It wasn't spooky or scary enough despite some solid imagery, and while "Villain does hilariously elaborate cruel thing for cruelty's sake" is an acceptable motivation for a comic book, that inherent silliness doesn't mesh well with the seriousness of the material that the author is trying to have a conversation with. Meanwhile, had this been an arc in ASM it might have worked to set up a further story in which Peter grappled with his new trauma material to grow the character in some way, but that too would have been tireso more
