This feels divorced from the Devil's Reign and only really tangentially related. The story itself is quite confusing in terms of how it is written. It also feels like a massive let down after the Superior Spider-Man run and Dan Slott's Spider-Verse/Spider-Geddon work. I'll keep reading to the end but for now this feels like a weak mini series and the artwork is just alright rather than being anything particularly special.

Es cierto que el concepto de que Otto accede a sus variantes SUPERIORES del Multiverso gracias a la tecnología "abandonada" por Reed Richards en el expropiado Edificio Baxter, le quedaba MUY pequeño a la serie troncal del evento Devil´s Reign... Aún así, el que parezca que va a seguir teniendo que saldar cuentas con ello no deja mucho más para que esto sea una mera curiosidad editorial que podría haberse planteado mucho mejor de forma independiente o más ligado a Spiderman.

It's still very funny to me that this has spun out of Devil's Reign, a mostly pretty grounded event. I like the concept a lot and this team of Ottos is fun but there's something off about the characterization here.

Dr Octopus gather a team together it make the best team he can. Great read

Probably won’t be my favorite tie-in of the Devil’s Reign event, but I’ll keep up.

Hrrrm. I hope there's a better connection to the DEVIL'S REIGN event coming. This ain't it.

It’s an interesting concept, I guess I just don’t understand how it’s playing into the overall Devil’s Reign story arc.
