After stopping this in singles since the whole Kamala death debacle, I can safely say this reads much better collected. Zeb Wells delivers some decent stories but still underwhelming and not in any meaningful direction. It's fun but Spider-Man and Peter Parker are and will always be stuck in a circular motion storytelling where he is doomed to experience the same things over and over again with nothing really changing. Otto and Norman was fun but it's quickly resolved and it feels redundant. The status quo is tiring man. I've read this before many times over and over.
Then we get Felecia and Peter breaking up just like that after what happened. This is just dumb storytelling. Not sure where Zeb ends and where Nick Lowe starts.
At least the art was amazing from Ed McGuiness who delivers a near perfect Spider-Man. Kudos to Farmer on inks and Menyz on colors. I can't fault the art here at all. JR Jr was also great and the Mafia wedding was actually going somewhere so we'll see if that delivers...
This is was an decent book to read at least until I got to the nonsensical stories at the end because simply put I don't care for spider-boy, I don't care for jackpot and bringing superior spider-man yet again is tiring and stupid at this point.
I know this is groundhog day for Spidey but I can't quit it yet. I'll have to wait for Hickman to give me some movement forward in the Ultimate Universe.
