If you're not giving this issue a 10, you're:

THE SECRET ORIGIN OF MYSTERIO!
Even Kingpin knows little about the criminal in the smoky helmet...but Spider-Man's about to learn more than he bargained for!
RATED T
Yeah true, are we here for the web-slinging action and the Spider-Man/MJ drama, or just tolerating Marvel’s boldest and most iconic universe experiment? Either way, for me this is a wild ride where the emotional explosions hit almost as hard as the Green Goblin’s Pumpkin Bombs!
I would add: "disliking the lack of focus on the titular character for half of the series" as one of the main reasons why one would not give this a 10. Another one being "missing crucial conversations between main characters".
Plot
This comic focuses on the origin of Gwen Stacy. She lost her mother at a young age and discovers that her father is part of a cult called MYSTERIO, which firmly believes there are two timelines: one they live in and the other they should live in, but which was altered with a time shift. In other words, they discovered the Maker's time illusion.
The leader of this cult is Quent more

Incoherent story at times. No seeming impact on the DCU. Morrison's run has been such a downgrade compared with what Vindetti did before. Dropping the title today.
Twelve parallel worlds! Twelve Green Lanterns! And one unstoppable menace! Hal Jordan joins the Green Lanterns of the Multiverse-including Bat-Lantern, Tangent Green Lantern and more-to save a dying Multiverse, defeat the relentless Anti-Man and embark upon their "Quest for the Cosmic Grail"! It's another Morrison/Sharp science fantasy epic!

Agreed. His writing is great if you’re a stoner. If not, it’s a bunch of bullshit.
Well, the art is nice. The story made me realize something — I need to cancel my GL subscription. This is absolute trash.
Mr. Morrison: stop it. We know you can write a good story. We have seen it before. Do you just hate Green Lantern?

“Have I told you about our Lord and Savior, Grant Morrison, who can do no wrong? We must go to all corners of the internet to defend him!” All-Star Superman: amazing. Batman run: Amazing. GL run: shit. Even John Lennon made bad songs, man.
I hate most of Morrison’s work. His Green Lantern is no different. I want him off or at least give me a another Green Lantern title written by a better writer who is stoned all the time.
I picked up Venus based on the previews solicit. I was pleasantly surprised. Great frantic action to start the series.
