It's better than before but still a bit messy. I'm finally starting to become interested in this story and it gets concluded in the next issue, which feels sad. But consideringthe situation, I get why.

Still a very enjoyable series.

It's a very interesting issue. After two issues of Eddie's journey, we are back with Dylan dealing with Osborns. I enjoyed what there was, but it felt a bit odd to place it here.

I do miss Ram V's writing for Dylan. I liked his voice for Dylan more than I do Ewing's.

A slower, but enjoyable second part to this event.

Continues to be good-ish. I don't have huge problems with this, but it could be better.

It's Jed MacKay, I knew he wouldn't disappoint.

But this was a really strong start. I quit Aaron's Avengers after it started to become too non-sensical, so this was a great starting point.

Strong but kind of all over the place at times. I get the cut ins with all the other groups but some of it just felt like filler. Also having two brand new super villains to contend with in one book is a lot. It's just a dense issue that could afford to be stretched a little more.

For a storyline that started to get a bit boring near the end, this was a great finale. Full of fan-service, but I didn't mind.

It's a very lackluster story where all the beats are recycled from the time gap where the hero can't save the heroine and grew apart and blah blah and then add a very mediocre villain acting like a 50s idea of what a cliched bad guy would be. There is nothing here that inspires or infuses a hint of suspense of hope in building proper characters. A year wasted on the dumbest premise. Zeb Wells and the editors dropped the ball just like on Spencer's run. I don't have hope for ASM ever recovering and this title will continue to sell and top the charts riding on the 60 year old history of cool Thwips and slogans "With great power..." that are both celebrated yet are the main hinderance to its advancement. I will finish the arc then it's sayonara and I'm moving to trades because at least then I will have full arcs to pick and choose from. more

I believe none of y'all that have been complaining have read the issues when they were married, so stop fucking complaining like it's the end of the world, is isn't.

It's starting to get really hard to enjoy this. It feels just messy. And a bit boring.

Since when was issue #25 of any series a "Landmark issue?" Soon Marvel will be celebrating issue #5.

It isn't terrible but it isn't very good either. A very average 5 out of 10 and that's mostly for the art. Nothing much happens in this hyped-up and oversized issue. We learn where the kids came from. And that's about all. Disappointing.

I enjoyed the art, especially Kaare Andrews's pages. He draws the first part of the story which is set in the alternate New York where MJ is trapped with Paul. Andrews's art is refreshing. It's vibrant and suits the story well. He draws MJ looking like a shapely woman, obviously remembering that she is a supermodel. Some artists seem to have forgotten this.

John Romita Jr. does the art for the second part of the main story from when Peter reappears through the portal to rescue Mary Jane. It's a bit jarring after getting used to Kaare Andrews's style, but to be fair to Romita Jr., he draws a decent Fantastic Four and Captain America. I was surprised to see Marvel reuse some of Romita Jr.'s art from a couple of the earlier issues. I counted 4 or 5 pages of recycled art!

It's been made very clear that editorial want Peter to remain single. I understand the backlash to this by a lot of Spidey fans. What I don't undersand is why ASM is the top-selling monthly comic book, if you can believe the "figures." It has knocked Batman off the top spot. Bizarre.

This could have been an OK issue if I cared even a little bit about Paul and Rabin, but they're both really just ciphers to make the plot go where it needs to, and the plot isn't interesting or meaningful enough to bear the weight alone. It's not a bad explanation of where MJ's new family came from, but it's not a terribly involving one either

in all complete brutal honesty, its not bad. but its not good either. This comic book is just plain old okay.

art was inconsistent, and I do like how we see Mary Jane and Paul grow closer together. Kaare Andrews is a great artist, I wish that person was doing the run. I get why Peter Parker is lashing out, but it still doesnt change the fact that Fantastic Four was the one acting out of character to Peter Parker in the first place.

It's honestly very sad that I'm only excited for this book not because of Spider-Man and the "writing" but because it's funny seeing the huge backlash the fans have. This isnt how you should market or write a comic run. You should make people anticipate the next issue because of the good story. Not because the fans will get pissed. more

I must admit, I don't see the hate for this issue. Another "passable" one, that you can read. I didn't really feel anything for this issue. This 6-part storyline has felt very messy, oddly paced, but I hoped it would get better. Now it's just... meh.

There isn't anything really here for me to grab. Art was fine I suppose. MJ's backstory was... fine I suppose? Some twist with the kids, but otherwise the plot is very straight-forward and doesn't have any twists or interesting stuff to talk about.

Biggest problem here is the lack of good writing for the Scribbled Man Rabin. He was much more enjoyable and memorable in his BND appearance than he is now. I don't feel anything when I see him, he is not threatening, or particularly interesting. I just want him gone.

I can't wait for this storyline to be done. This past year of ASM has been very messy because of it, and I just wanna move on. I think Wells wants too.

If this is all this entire storyline will offer, it feel like a massive fake-out. A year worth of messy storytelling is not justified by this lackluster straigth-forward story with a forgettable villain. I sincerely hope I am wrong about this, since I still somewhat believe in Wells and want this run to succeed. more

I liked everything that was offered here.

Gleason please come back to ASM. I miss you there, your art is amazing.

Eyo! WTF!

It's literally crazy how amazing this series is.

MacKay's Black Cat is always a joy, although this series has struggled with the fact that "Felicia can't work up the courage to tell MJ she's dating her ex" never really carried weight as the central drama of the mini. It was hard to get invested in that because I couldn't bring myself to expect that MJ (who has herself long since moved on) would actually be mad about it. Still, Felicia & MJ fight Hell and win is a fun enough idea to carry us past the places where the drama deflates more

The art and story combine to form a masterful comic. When a book has that big event feel but only runs through it's own title and maybe one other, it's quality. This is the way I would love to see Spider-man written in ASM by the way ;)

Pretty much nothing happened, Wells is stalling and Romita is not at his best, let's see how the next issue goes

Issue is ok. Thats it.

The outrage brigade was to be expected and I forsee all issues regardless of their quality getting review bombed here.

Not as good as last issue but there's still stuff to like.

It's a very enjoyable ride. No matter what you think of current state of ASM, this book still shines. And that is all thanks to Jed and the amazing artists he worked with on this.

Yeah, considering the situation, it's okay. It's not good as it had potential to be, but I think it's was best it could be after Donny left the title.

Ottley killed it with the art tho.

God I love this series.
