A review by dozens
Spider-Verse by Dan Slott
4.0
So many spider people!
Why I picked it up
I wanted to read Spider-Gwen, but felt that she wasn't introduced very well in her own series. Learned that she was actually introduced here, so went in for her backstory.
Why I finished it
Plot issues aside, and although the villains were not as interesting as they were simply a plot device for the spiderpeople of all dimensions to assemble, this was super fun because of all the spider characters! Decades worth of them. From all media and continuities. It was really really fun.
What I want to remember
Um. Not much I guess. This was just fun. It was, I guess, neat to see clearly the scope and sprawl this character has experienced over the years of his existence, and to be able to guess at his subsequent cultural impact and significance. He's been in everything from comic books and movies (obviously) to Saturday morning cartoons and Japanese manga.
