Nov 24, 2021Symbiote Spider-Man: Crossroads #5 is, like the issue before it, very much an "everything and the kitchen sink" sort of book, this time with the goal of wrapping up the story and bringing everything to a tidy conclusion. Read Full Review

This comic makes it clear early on that having a Big Dumb Fight„¢ isn't the way for the good guys to win. It then presents a Big Dumb Fight„¢ of interminable length anyway. The resolution is the worst sort of unsatisfying deus ex machina. I did like the running gag about naming the Hulk, but there's also a lot of dreadful cliches in the dialog. On the visual front, Greg Land demonstrates that "clarify the difference between regular and giant-sized characters" is yet another skill he never bothered to master.

I can only pray that the lack of a tease in the back of this issue means that we've officially finished the Symbiote Spider-Man experiment. It had its moments but... it also had some baaad moments.
