This gets messy with the flal of the hammer storyline crossover.
So prior to the Fall of the Hammer crossover, Miguel is trying his best to balance his life with Spider-Man and his love life. Then his house goes insane and starts to take control. But then we're broken up by the fact The Fall of the Hammer brings together the other 2099 titles like Ravengers, Punisher, Doom, and X-Men. This crossover is just kind of meh, leaving me bored half the time, with a okay ending from Doom himself.
When we get back into Spider-Man's main story we deal alot with his brother and him trying to save him and then also working together with him to fix the home. The issues are a lot of fun and getting Migeul's childhood is also a welcome addition. I enjoyed these parts a lot.
The crossover is 5 issues so sadly it does bring this down. So closer to a 3, maybe 3.5.

Inhaled another collection in a day; enjoyed this one a bit more than volume 2, even though the quality of writing is pretty equitable. At this point, Miguel is, frankly, a smidge unlikeable, BUT I think it comes from an outdated characterization. He’s still mostly a good guy; emphasis because I personally love the sarcasm, but DON’T love the way he treats women. 🤙 It’s interesting to see Miguel’s backstory a bit, though, and I love how they’re finally drawing his brother in in a substantial way.
I think I’m struggling to enjoy these series more because I know how much potential Miguel’s origins has, and I’m losing hope that they’ll touch on some meatier stuff as he adjusts to Spidey life. Anywho. Still sucked in, still solid villains, just some odd misogyny popping up that’s Makin me UNCOMFY.

Unfocused, all over the place. The crossover really was weak with only Doom 2099 being interesting. The main storyline was weak with bland and uninteresting villains. It's a shame cause Spider-man 2099 has a lot of potential that ne or seems to be fully explored, especially not in this volume

Este terceiro volume das histórias clássicas de Homem-Aranha 2099 traz a primeira saga compartilhada dos títulos da linha 2099, a Queda do Martelo. Juntando-se a X-Men, Justiceiro, Destino e Ravage, a saga lida com uma suposta volta dos deuses de Asgard: Thor, Loki, Heimdall e Hela, para uma população que cultua esses deuses e cujos adoradores são chamados de thoretes. Lembro de ter lido essa saga uns dez anos atrás quando comprei a coleção completa do Homem-Aranha 2099 da Editora Abril. Nessa releitura entendi ela melhor e gostei bem mais. Em seguida a essa saga, vem outro arco de histórias, que começa quando um pane no ciberespaço da tilt em todos equipamentos eletrônicos de Nueva York, inclusive Lyla, a assistente virtual holográfica de Miguel O'Hara - a Alexa de 2099. Para salvar a cidade e seu irmão Gabriel, Miguel vai precisar se infiltrar no mundo cibernético e virtual - o Second Life de 2099. Além disso, temos boas historinhas curtas contando sobre a infância de Miguel em uma tal Escola para Jovens Superdotados da... Alchemax! Uma leitura muito boa!

This volume features the Fall of the Hammer 2099-wide crossover. It's OK but the writing on the other books isn't as good as Peter David's. In the other major story, Miguel heads into cyberspace to stop a cyber-terrorist. The volume also contains a bunch of backup stories featuring Miguel as a kid. The story would have been better served if these back up stories would have been collected into one story instead at the back of each issue. Rick Leonardi's art fits this book perfectly.

All over the place.

Book Two as a bit of a mess, so it was nice to see the series start to get itself back on track this time out - more concerned with building its own world and cast that offering tepid hints of "present-day" Marvel connections. Peter David does some good work with Miggy and Gabri, their mom, and the "young Miguel" back-ups. The plots are engaged.
That said, the "Fall of the Hammer" crossover is included here - I think the collections editor made a good choice to print all the Spider-Man issues first (the Spider-Man chapter of the crossover comes early in this book), so you can just read the Spider-Man 2099 issues straight through and then close the book. You'd have a good four-star book if you did so. But the back of the book is filled out with one issue each from X-Men 2099, Ravage 2099, Doom 2099 and Punisher 2099, to fill out the five-part crossover, and those four issues are pretty lousy. Maybe they'd be only slightly lousy if I had any familiarity with the characters, but there's no character work here to give me a reason to care. And the crossover plot doesn't really add up to much. It reads like a two-issue story (with a really uninspired big bad) spread across five issues to justify getting everyone in on the team-up.

This volume proved to be a bit of a mixed bag. The titular "Fall of the Hammer" crossover event itself was, frankly, mid. While the character designs for some of the alternate 2099 heroes were genuinely cool (Punisher, Doom, etc.), the overarching plot tying them all together simply wasn't compelling. Throughout these crossover issues, I found myself constantly wanting to return to Miguel O'Hara's central storyline.
With one liners like this, how can you not?
Thankfully, once the narrative did shift back to Spider-Man's individual issues, the quality really picked up. These were some of the stronger issues in the series so far, each issue leaving off at such an enticing point that I had to immediately dive into the next one.
A highlight of the collection was the inclusion of flashbacks to a young Miguel O'Hara. These were incredibly well done, and I liked how they subtly linked to the present-day events, adding depth to his character. Miguel's first Spider-Man reveal was also handled perfectly; it felt fitting that his brother was the first to figure it out, and entirely on-brand for Gabe to have deduced it himself.
For a title as bold and cold as "Fall of the Hammer," I expected more narrative impact. It wasn't bad, but I would have much preferred it to be a pure Spider-Man storyline. At most, a crossover limited to Spidey, Punisher, and Doom could have worked. With the inclusion of X-Men 2099 and Ravage 2099, it felt like too many cooks spoiled the broth.

I think issue 21 said it best "Poppin' no-creds is a grin for thirty secs max! Then, dullness overload." At least that's how the drawn out crossover felt. After that Miguel's battles in cyberspace and against AI was pretty fun. The flashback to him as a kid was okay though a little confusingly collected.

// saga z Thorem okropna, ale pomysł na świat sztucznej inteligencji Discorda (i zazdrosną Lylą) najntisowo uroczy i ratuje kolejny słaby volume

The part of this that was the crossover was pretty super-blah. Basically, this group of X-men and Ravager and Punisher . . . ? Not interesting characters.
Fake Asguardians, not at all interesting except that Loki (who is only a little interesting.)
Villain who seems eminently beatable and whose only power is having very large glasses?
Not interesting.
The second half of the book is a pretty failed VR story, but it's fun enough anyway. And the character interactions are entertaining even if probably objectively not great.

A Quickie Review
This third collection of the futuristic Spidey's adventures also features fellow Marvel standbys Thor, the X-Men, and the Punisher. Fans of comic books will definitely enjoy these stories which date all the way back to the first half of the 1990s. However, some images of rather buxom women and occasional profanity and crude references messed things up a bit.
Score: 4/5
