3.5 rating - Fun and Easy read
There was some issues, but as a whole, I liked this story arc. It was an easy read and I loved seeing certain people interacting with each other. I have not read any earlier comics that dealt with cloning arcs, so my rating is based on what I've read in the modern era of Spider-man. I did like some of the moments of interactions between people especially with Gwen Stacy, both of them. I don't like Doc Ock but he didn't annoy me in this story and we'll probably see more of him in future comics.
I did not like certain reveals about the clones, but it wasn't terrible, just okay.
The art was fantastic.
Silk is becoming one of my favorites and I hope we get to see more of her in the future. I've been reading the previous Silk comics before this, but you might need to read some of her stuff before this, to understand certain things. Even if you don't, I think it's easy to understand what's happening for the main clone story, just not Silk's personal journey.
I haven't read much about Prowler, but I loved the series included in this book and I'll be on the lookout for more comics on him.
I usually find reading orders online, since sometimes the book is put in the order of book numbers not reading order. In the beginning of book they put their preferred reading order, but it looked different from what I saw online. I stuck to the order I found, since it's a site I usually use and I trust it. The last Spider-man Graphic Novel event I read (Spider-verse) was in Book order and I was confused when I read the whole main Series (which was in the front of the book) and finished the event and after those in the book, were the tie-in novels.
Take my advice and find a reading order, it makes for a better reading experience.
The story ends but it also leaves things open, where you know there is going to be comics in the future that deal with the fallout of these events.

This story was truly phenomenal. Take the one thing Spider-man beats himself up for and give him a chance to undo it at the cast of everything he believes....how could it be any better of a plot?

What's the point of collecting all the issues if you aren't going to order them chronologically, not that a proper order would have saved this mess of a story.

Wow! A truly awesome Spider-Man event! I think it's been a while since I've seen one of those. You all know I've been a little disillusioned with the "new and improved" Peter Parker. I mean, let's just have Peter become Tony now that he's in a coma. Yeah, that's a good plot. Ugh.
But anyway, I distract myself. The point is, this was a genuinely excellent Spider-Man event despite all these facts! Truly fantastic story, did not see the villain twist coming, and I loved the inclusion of Silk and Spider-Gwen. Two thumbs up all around, and keep 'em coming!

There were definitely some very good ideas here, playing with Spidey history and clones, emotional heart strings to pluck galore. But it didn’t quite come all the way to life. Too much extraneous stuff, not enough focus. The set up for the new series (Prowler, Ben Reilly) made the ending feel unfinished and unsatisfying.
