You know, I could stand here spewing the worst insults about Zeb Wells and Marvel and it would all be perfectly fine. But, honestly, I will try to be serious and explain my reasons.
First of all, what's the point of this whole story? Seriously. Rabin is a terrible villain and nobody will remember him in a couple of weeks. Peter doesn't do a thing that changes his character. The F4 and Norman Osborn are just there. The character of Mary Jane is completely twisted for no apparent reason and behaves in an incomprehensible way just to irritate the reader. Paul is a useless jerk with no personality. To top it off, Ms. Marvel's death was announced earlier, making reading this issue completely optional.
At this point, I think it is clear for all to see that the only motivation behind this horrendous antics is to divide, once again, Peter and MJ. A couple who had painstakingly reformed after a 4-year run. Swept away in 26 issues, one worse than the other. I know many Spider-Man fans cyclically claim that the character is finished and boring, but I didn't believe it. Honestly, after this story arc I feel drained of the desire to follow my favorite superhero. I've never read anything more depressing and pathetic, above all because of this incomprehensible desire to irritate and annoy fans in every way. more

"Cat! Bat! Cat! Bat!" and so on.

I mean, there are some very good parts as Thomas vs Damian or Bane killing Alfred. But there's also that thing with the villains looking like a parody and Bruce and Selina always flirting and not doing much else.

I genuinely cannot fathom the level of awful decisions made for the whole of Zeb Wells' ASM run. This entire series of events can only exist if the characters are written entirely different from how they are characterized. MJ, even after years alone with someone else, would not give up on Peter. Peter may be emotional but he is still a genius, he wouldn't attack his friends and risk his best chance to save his should-be wife, just because they need to verify his identity. He definitely wouldn't work with the man that killed his first love just because he says "I'm not evil anymore I swear". 10,000 characters is both not enough and too much to write a review because I could say so much more about it and how much I genuinely hate every little inconsistency. But nobody would read that much. So I'll leave it with this. Marvel has been preaching about the evils of things like misogyny, yet at the first chance they get they will take a strong female character that fans love and they will do everything in their power to ruin them, and to make fans hate them. That's what is happening with MJ, they hate her, and hate that fans love her so much that they will have a character in the story refer to her as "The Scarlet Woman". A scarlet woman for those who don't know is a historical derogatory term for a prostitute, or a woman that has sex with a lot of men. The equivalent of this term in the modern day is a 'slut'. more

It's happened, in the end. Zeb Wells managed to completely throw me off my favourite superhero's comic book. It's not even right to rate this thing, as misconceived as it is. This is not a story: this is just a rage bait for the fans so they'll talk about it and Marvel gets free promotion. Nothing makes sense, everything just goes the way this pathetic writer chose to because he thinks he's so smart he can piss on beloved characters and do whatever the hell he wants. I don't even know if I'll keep reading it. This looks just like the kind of garbage that will be retconned in a couple of years. more

I don't know. It always feels like King has no clear goal for his stories. I hate the way he writes villains and I'm fed up with his convoluted dialogues. I'm still here for the art and because I want to get over with his run.

I'm still not a fan of villains working together like in the War of Jokes and Riddles. Especially the Joker, that King clearly doesn't understand and can't write. I'm curious about this storyline, but the best parts of the run are a far cry.

Convoluted as hell. I can feel King thinking "I am a genius" while reading this. 6 is for the art.

This run is one of the weirdest things I've ever read.

This is incredibly... bad. The Quiet Council just lets Beast go unpunished? He literally almost destroyed Krakoa, he murdered Wolverine and cloned him to create an evil army! What the hell is Xavier thinking? And I'm also not into Laura and Piotr joining X-Force.

I'll give it a 7, but if what Thomas is implying is true... It's a 3, maybe less. I just hope it's babbling from the character.

I'm not sure I understand what the hell is going on.

Finally, a good issue.

Listen, Zeb Wells... Shut up. Not only that final "plot twist" is absolutely ridiculous and predictable, but I'm SICK of Spider-Man acting like a completely reckless idiot who can't stop for a second and use his fucking genius mind to solve a problem. What in the bluest of blue hell is this garbage? And people said that the Gang War arc was bad...

I really liked this. It's incredibly complex yet so entertaining.

I'm probably being drugged and forced to experience my nightmares just like Batman. What is this? A terrible rehash of the Super Friends great story? Tom King trying to look cool writing Clark and Bruce as boring idiots and Lois and Selina as """"""""funny"""""""" independent women?

Imagine writing and publishing this thing. The "Knightmares" title is a reference to the fact I'm literally falling asleep reading this run?

Tom King gets basically ridiculed by a character he wrote. The rest of the story is useless.

This is EXACTLY the kind of issue that makes me want to drop this whole run. Talk, talk, talk... And nothing happens. Also, CUT THIS FREAKING BAT-CAT LOVE ANGLE. We get it, Tom, you love Selina Kyle. But we're at a point it feels like you have abandonment issues or something like that. It's not fun, it's not interesting, it's not what Batman should be like.

Amazing! This series never fails to entertain.

Beast is doomed, but X-Force members have been complete idiots. They should have arrested him when they discovered he had a secret lab.

7 is all for the amazing art. The rest is Tom King blabbing about something only he knows.

Yawn... Did they really get to 5 issues of this boredom? It's the same story retold 5 times.
