Some of this was interesting, but most of it was just mainly confusing and I'm not sure if I'm going to bother reading the main Spider-Geddon event now. I mainly just wanted to because I want to read Seanan McGuire's run on Spider-Gwen which is directly tied into Spider-Geddon, and I don't know if it'll make sense if I don't read that alongside it...

Dammit, I hate comic book events.

Spider-Punk is alot of fun and it was pretty cool to touch on some other spideys. I'll read Spider-Geddon and call it good on this storyline for now.

As any anthology by different writers and artists, the quality is gonna be wildly different; however, like with Edge of Spider-Verse before, these stories were a pretty amusing setup for both the big event and for future stories with these characters.

I hope Marvel gives us miniseries starring Spider-Punk, Peni Parker and Spider-Ben with these creative teams, since they did a pretty good job at continuing prior stories and/or setting up the path for new ones.

Meh, some were good others either annoyed or confused me.
I liked Spider-punk and Superior Octopus.
Thought Pini was a PITA and the story felt longer than a one shot.
Got confused by Petey and Ben.
And annoyed that Norman got away without facing retribution by getting zapped out of that reality.

These are all the set-up stories for the event, Spider-Geddon, which is essentially a spin-off of Spider-Verse. I still love meeting all the different spider people, but there are so many that it becomes a bit difficult to follow. Despite that, the artwork is fantastic, and the creativity really shines through as we meet some new characters that we didn't see before. The different iterations of Spider-Man work together to add to the cannon of the character.

Spider-geddon picks up the story from the Spider-verse run and re-unites a disparate band of Spider-Heroes and allies to face a time returning Inheritor threat.

At 200 pages, this collected volume is no where near as imposing as the first Spider-verse collection, but it still suffers many of the same flaws. The main story takes up the bulk of the book, but then some additional stories pop up after the main story has finished - seemingly out of sequence. In fact I think this might be setting up a follow-on adventure and serves as an intro to a new Spider-team, with many new faces and a couple of familiars too.

Overall i really enjoyed this storyline - but it doesn’t include a lot of other details that have been side-tracked into adjacent graphic novels. This dilution of plot and detail lowered my rating to 4 stars as a result.

An interesting look at some parallel universes. Some of the issues got me incredibly invested in these versions of the characters and their world incredibly quickly and I can't wait to read more of them
