I only read it for the introduction of Spider-Gwen. The rest was hit or miss. The first 3 were pretty cool, with Spider-Gwen being the best by far, but the fourth one was in poor taste. Didn't bother with the fifth.
So real ratings:
#1 - 3.5/5 Stars, very interesting but the blood was a bit much for me.
#2 - 5/5 Stars, very excellent, though I hope to get the full origin story with volume 1 which I will be reading in full :)
#3 - 4/5, very interesting, too bad there's no conclusion.
#4 - 0/5, not my kind of story. It was nauseating and just not what I want out of a comic at all.
#5 - N/A, didn't read.

These stories were seriously cool! especially the last two with the abusive uncle Ted and a semi-venom spiderman, and the cute little spider-robot?
Even cooler: We get to se Matt Murdock! Twice!

The first issue's pretty fun, a short superhero story with pulp trappings. It's nothing special, but it does its job and is entertaining.
The second story, the Spider-Gwen story, is reason #1 to pick this up. Gwen's world is an interesting and entertaining one, and Rodriguez's art kills. (Also: I'm reading the Spider-Gwen ongoing, and I could kill for a Matt Murdock, Mob Lawyer spin-off).
The third issue, about Aaron Aikman, is the only real stinker. Weaver's art, which usually has a pleasant cleanness, here gets really rough, and the story manages to be about the most boring thing in the world.
The fourth story's pretty great. Focusing on a sociopathic, abused "Patton Perlin" (or something like that) who gets bitten by a spider that turns him into a cannibalistic monster, it manages to be really creepy and just a great story.
The last one, about Sp//dr (I really have no idea how to pronounce that), has some good art and neat character designs. The story is a Neon Genesis Evangelion riff, so it's not super-imaginative, but this one's mostly about character and world-building, anyways.
