The end felt a bit rushed but this is a satisfying end to a lot of long and complex story lines.

A compelling story about corruption and the lengths people will go in the name of a "good cause." Perfect level of stakes for a Spider-man story. JRJR's art doesn't always work for me but there was a lot to like here.

I tried to like this. I love Spider-Man!
It had some interesting scenes and the artwork was particularly good.
However I wasn't a huge fan of the mini adverts on some of the panels which told the reader to read certain issues or visit a marvel website, it just distracted from the story.
I also found the cover somewhat misleading. I am all for a varient cover in single issues but this was a collection and as such i was hoping it would have more Obama in it, maybe a larger story about actually saving him rather than just a tiny part at the end.

This is the conclusion for a couple of story arcs that have been happening over the last few issues, and I think they were wrapped up nicely! We probably could have done without the issues tacked on at the end with Lincoln and Obama though. Honestly, I just skimmed those.
Also definitely appreciated the issues with Daredevil, him and Spider-Man have great chemistry. All in all, not a bad collection of stories!

Ties up a years worth of three-issues-a-month stories and does a good job of it. The whole run since the god awful 'One More Day' retcon has had a freshness to it - introducing new characters and putting new spins on characters we're familiar with. Excited to see what's next.

in the past few volumes of tams there have been two major mysteries which served as a general background: who is leaving the spider-tracers on murdered people? and who is this "menace" really? both are solved in the issues collected here
- about the spider tracers: so we find out that vin, aka peter's roomie, has been the one tampering crime scenes, helped by one of his colleagues. i think it made enough sense, cops have always hated our beloved wall-crawler and on top of that they have proven more than once (both in fiction and in real life) how corrupt they can get. especially consdering this last point, i loved carlie! now /that/ is how a person who's supposedely responsable for holding up the laws should act. i do however feel like she forgave vin way too quickly, and in general his redemption was too fast-paced
- about menace's real identity: i was kinda shocked when it was revealed that lily was menace. i don't think they gave her good enough reasons to become like that though? idk i wasn't really convinced with her backstory and with her revealing the truth to harry, being outed on live television and being arrested all in a few issues if felt like everything went by too quickly
+ loved the final speech between peter and harry. their friendship really is quite dear to me :)
