I'm quite underwhelmed about this issue. The concept of a cybernetic/genetic Spider-Man that feels more like Cyberpunk SHOULD be right up my alley, and the ideas presented SHOULD have made me thrilled, but the presentation was more like quick story notes and some story-boards that should have been given a run of 5-6 issues just to ease us into the characters and tease us with foreshadowing.

But since we got none of that, it fell flat. I might eventually have become something awesome, but it feels more like a pitch for an idea than a final product, regardless of the fairly decent art.

If Spider-Man was a Manga, I bet this would be his story. A completely self contained story that at this point leads nowhere, with an ending that makes me think there's more. Good art, but I didn't care for this much.

Meh, this was ok. Aaron is a bit lacking in the charm department and the artwork was just ok. I loved the incredibly sinister ending though.

Not going to lie here, I thought this was boring

Raving about 1st appearances should be a cue/warning for painfully dull stories

[Cait · Rating 2 out of 5]

Amazing art style but utterly weighed down in exposition. I get that it's an origin, and it's an intriguing universe, but this was so dense.

I like aaron's suit, but this story was boring.

aunque gwen stacy: spider-woman es el número de spider-verse que más me gusta, creo que the spider-man de dustin weaver es el mejor. su trama es interesante, con información mejor distribuida que en el resto de la serie --comenzar in media res le da margen de maniobra para avanzar mucho en poco espacio--; su dibujo es económico, se permite lo mismo pequeñas infografías que splash-pages. además, está comprometido con el triunfo del mal: eso, aunado a su villano principal, le da cierta textura como de película de horror (y las modificaciones corporales le dan también un barniz cronenbergiano). padre cómic.

This has, by far, been my favorite of the Edge of Spider-Verse so far. This was a completely different Spider-Man, one I do not know the origin story of, one that I have no connection to, and I fell instantly in love with the setting and story. It was compelling and despite the fact that I didn't know anything about this world I did not feel like I was missing anything being dropped into this story. Great storytelling from start to finish, with great art that kept with the tone of the story. Give me more of THIS story.

I didn't really care much for this issue of the Spiderverse all that much, but it wasn't a complete let down. I still think this Spiderman was a little dense after it delved so much into his knowledge at the beginning and he couldn't figure out who the bad guy behind it all was.

Anyways, it's not complete bad, but it does help set up more of what's going to happen in later issues. This issue and #5 are kind of tied for third place in my book. There's not much I can say without spoiling things.

Book #44 of the 2014 Reading Challenge.

[Chris Conley · Rating 5 out of 5]

A little creepy, different enough from the typical Spider-Man, and all around the most entertaining Edge of Spider-Verse so far.

Timeline is iffy but okay

[Hector · Rating 2 out of 5]

Poco que decir, el Spider-man más olvidable de esta serie. El final estuvo bien.
