Like most artists past their prime, Jim Lee recycles his older dynamic poses and iconic set pieces to mixed results. I won't say it looks bad but it's definitely derivative of his own earlier work and it stands out. Loeb's writing is much the same. This is definitely post Loeb peak. He's harder, his stories darker in tone, vocabulary and scope. He went through trauma. It makes sense. What doesn't more

I was not a fan of this as much as I was the previous issues.

Every issue focusing on one month is really hurting this book. Because we miss crucial moments between the main cast of this book and it makes it seem like nothing important happens between the issues.

MJ is just fine with Peter being gone for over a month, tortured and having his identity revealed, which causes th more

I just realize that Peter Parker learned about his son with the symbiote off-screen. I also realize that between Issue 12 and 13, the symbiote bonded with Richard Parker and that's off-screen. I get the monthly flash-forwards are to coincide with a future event in the new Ultimate Universe, but at least show flashbacks so we are SHOWN important character moments so we can be attached to them

Afre - Mar 28, 2025

Exactly. It's hard to care, when we don't see any of those moments

This issue really shows the cracks in this series. I understand that Hickman views each issue like a month has passed in real time, and that's fine. But the problem is that the pacing in this issue is kind of whack, and for once I can see how Gabe Hernandez gave this a lower score. Last issue we see Peter Parker and Mary Jane run away. But then this issue they're just chilling on a vacation. And I more

Gotta say, art was phenomenal. And I liked what Kelly's idea was for this and message was heartful So, I can confidently say that if the hack fraud who works for the Spidey office as the main editor doesn't quit by 1000, then I will. The sheer level of incompetence this storyline has showcased has been disrespectful and horrible to see.

Like, way to ruin a nice idea by Kelly. Like what more

Spider-Man's greatest enemies is not Green Goblin, Doctor Octopus, Venom, or even Morlun. It's the Marvel editors. The Marvel editors should just try to not interfere as much as they can and let the writers tell their own story. Even if I don't like it, I can at least respect an author's vision more than a meddled up editorial vision

I have to say, as someone who doesn't like 5 Deaths of Spider-Man, this was fine. Pretty good actually. As a singular issue. With amazing art.

But as the penultimate issue of this story, it just showcases all the weaknesses it had. Too many players and very odd writing for Spidey. Kelly's writing is solid for all characters, but how Peter and Blight and general setting was handled, this more

Phenomenal issue. Hickman really dials the intrigue up as we see multiple members of the Sinister Six play their hands. Really love the little developments with Richard and Felicia. I'm also not convinced Harry is dead either, as you never can be too sure with Mysterio lingering around in the background.

Yeah... I didn't like it. It just felt too sudden and random after two issues of moping to go "oh yeah people do matter lol". It just feels like it's rushing to epic finale out of sudden... the pacing has been pretty bad for this comic. 66-68 have definitely been the weakest issues so far. And I guess Spider-Man didn't die 8 times?
