here's the deal, guys: the story was fantastic. one of the great story telling I've seen in comics. i enjoyed it a lot. but... why did i give it 3 stars? simple, the book itself sucked. it was completely out of order and i skipped all the tie ins since they were all AFTER THE FINAL EPILOGUE! like seriously, i found out that the original first issue of the whole event starts right after the epilogue. what the fuck? so i am giving this book two different ratings:
the story: 4.5/5
the book itself:1.0/5

A great collection showcasing the many iterations, characterizations, and art styles of an iconic American hero (some may say the most iconic).
Here you are swept directly into the action - although at times additional author notes would be helpful for backstory, and the plot structure might have earned a greater payoff with a slight re-ordering of some of the issues.

Better than I was expecting. It would be easy for this story to fly wildly off the rails and be only for the super die-hard Spider-Man fans but as someone who hasn't read a single issue of Spider-Man in about a decade it was easy to follow and spun a great yarn.
I don't know which of these alternate Spideys was pre-established and which were created for Spider-Verse and that's a testament to the writing and how they kept things clear and concise even for "new" readers. If you want a fun Spider-Man story in a self-contained format, give this a try.
