I wasn't a big fan of the prior 2099 series, Annihilation 2099. It was a lot of vignettes with a throughline back-up story about Dracula that didn't really go anywhere until the end of the book. Conquest 2099 however focuses up, and it's much, much better as a result.
The story's split between Spider-Man 2099 and his cohort as they track Dracula across the universe, and Dracula's war against the Araneon, the race of spider-monsters that Spider-Woman 2099 broke away from. The two threads collide midway through, as a war perhaps not on the scale of Annihilation but definitely spanning planets is unleashed.
We get 2099 incarnations of Spidercide, Ghost-Spider, Web Weaver, Madame Web, and White Widow, as well as reappearances by all of the characters from Annihilation 2099 (so it wasn't a total waste!), and when you add in Orlando's sweeping dialogue, everything gains a sense of gravitas I wasn't expecting going in.
It is a little light on Miguel, but his name's not in the title for a change, so I'm prepared to let that slide this time.
On art we have Ibrahim Roberson and José Soares, who work together so seamlessly that I didn't even notice when one was drawing and the other wasn't. Solid art team, both of whom rise to the occasion of whatever Orlando's increasingly more dramatic script asks of them.
Much better than the last book, and I'm definitely interested to see where the next (final?) series goes. Given I wasn't that enthused going in after last time, Conquest has recouped a lot of the 2099 goodwill that Annihilation lost for me.

They really grind these out now....
These are coming out like clockwork now, right? Six months? Push another one through? They must really want 2099 to be remembered. They've pushed and pushed X-Men 2099 at us. They brought back Logan as Nova 2099. Red Hulk 2099 got a tie-in with the 'Living Planet' Ego. Heck, they even brought Dracula back...to the future.
What's left? Tie the 'classic' Spiderverse character names into the 2099 universe and make them pirate/raider spider-people.

Bonus: What's that? Running out of ideas? Hint at making Dracula a herald of Galactus in the next miniseries

I know I just said this about The Rocketeer, but this is another series that I should place in the end pile. I get the concept, Marvel characters as they would be 70+ years from now. But this mini revival has become nothing but no character work and a jump from one action scene to the next.
There is no point to reviving Dracula, creating "super" vampires, etc. at least the doom as American president/tyrant had a point to it.
Time to stop the multiple mini series, and let this Marvel AU fade into the back issue bins.

This book is not new reader friendly—so if there does exist a more compelling narrative arc here, I did not experience such a story. Even if the concept of Dracula leading a vampire planet sounds interesting in concept, the delivery leaves a bit to be desired.

Read all issues in the series you will truly enjoy the ride especially when you see the future incarnation of various heros
