I liked the Spider-Geddon story way more than the Spider-Verse one. It was more about the technological aspect of stopping the Inheritors, rather than the Web of Life stuff—there’s still some magical mumbo jumbo in there, but it wasn’t all-pervasive.
I think that there being more Miles in a leading role definitely helped, plus a bunch of different and new Spiders who added to the variety in the story. There’s hardly any 616-Peter Parker in here, so that was a bonus. Nothing against Peter, it’s just that he’s often written with such a hero complex, it becomes grating and one-note.
More female characters in the main story helped, but we needed a better balance. It’s still so focused on the dude Spiders, and Otto being disruptive. At least the women weren’t written as self-sabotaging or useless this time.
The fact that there are two teams fighting to kill the Inheritors was interesting, if not properly sign-posted. My one issue was that Miles’ team goes in head first at the end without a good plan, and Otto gets to be sanctimonious about it.
More new characters meant different personalities, dynamics and interactions, which is really what kept me going with this story.
My biggest grouse with this volume was that it didn’t have all the tie-ins. I had to keep pausing and hunting for the spin-offs for the story to make sense. Reading the spin-offs around the order of the story helped a lot, but I didn’t always get the books read in order.
The Vault of Spiders stories were fun to read—very short, but punchy. I didn’t find any Spiders who I was tempted to read more of, but nice to get such a wide range of characters in.

I liked this. More Miles Morales here. Doc Ock bring his impudent, arrogant self. Good team-ups, as well. Art was stellar. Enjoyable.
Not as good as Spider-Verse but still entertaining. I thought the ending was a bit anti-climactic.
The follow up to Spider-Verse. This story focuses more on Miles and Otto, rather than Peter.
I tried reading this along side Edge of Spider-man, Spider Force and Spectacular Spider-man. I had a reading order but still got all turned inside out trying to keep things in order.
The artwork was good but the story felt messy with too much unexplained.
Also I was annoyed that Spider UK and noir died. Both characters were different enough to continue to have interesting futures. Seems such a waste.

ugh, is this typical Marvel now..?
Dozens of Spider-Mans from dozens of dimensions..?
This is many times worse than DC at their height of Infinite Earths, and they blew all that up because it was too confusing.
This is just not entertaining.

This isn't quite as epic as the Spider-verse event but this was still quite fun. Acts almost like a epilogue. Great art and a fun read with more emphasis on Miles and Otto as the Superior Spider-man, although Parker and Gwen get great side stories in their own graphic novels
