Entertaining collection of other Spider-verses (especially the Spider Gwen, and SP//DR).

A collection of stories featuring alternate realities where Spider-Man turned out quite different. I'd already read the one featuring Spider-Gwen but enjoyed the others in this collection as well. A great read if you're sick of seeing the Spider-Man origin story told over and over again in the same way.

Meh. Like a short story collection. Some good some bad. Just something picked at the library

Great little anthology miniseries that I could easily continue reading. Please do a "Tales of Spider-Verse" where nothing is connected, just different adventures of the Spider Totems of the multiverse!

I don't read a lot of Marvel comics, much less Spider-Man--the continuity is so dense and sometimes esoteric that wading in can seem daunting--but this volume was great! Here, I already had a level of familiarity with all but one of the variant Spider-people, thanks to the inimitable Into the Spiderverse movie from several years ago. I would recommend this book to anyone with a passing interest in any Friendly Neighborhood Spidey

- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? No
- Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

Each story was very short, giving only a glimpse into the characters rather than a full arch. I liked the variation though and seeing the styles of different writers and artists

Five one shots loosely tied to the much larger Spider-Verse run. Gwen's great, as always, and I was super excited to see Peni since she wasn't in the actual arc and I loved her in the movie. (Which shares absolutely zero plot points with this comic run; don't look for dad bods.)
Spider-Man Noir was fine, he's fine. Doesn't really excite me, but there was nothing wrong with it except the Inheritors are not at all explained. If I had read this before Spider-Verse, I would be 1000% lost.
Gwen - Aces but also VERY heavily reminds me of Batgirl and Jim. Like I'm pretty sure I've read that scene line for line before.
Aaron Aikman - Interesting story, I was feeling it. Not my favorite art. I like an ambiguous ending.
Parton Parnell - NO. No no no no no no no no no.
No.
Fuck this story, fuck Marvel, fuck everything and everyone and NO FUCK NO
Peni - <33 I liked the take on Daredevil too, but I wish it was a bit longer and we got to see some more of Peni's actual fighting. The one detailed battle she's immediately taken out and the suit and the spider do the job.
