The biggest drawback of this issue is how new readers are going to be very lost. The backup has an indie look and feel that suits the flashback conceit of the story.īlack Panther can kick ass WITHOUT the suit.
All the tech in this issue looks sharp as heck, especially the energy blasting. There’s also some interesting use of Spider-Man’s eyes and the reflections off them. The backup has a cheery and fun feel that suits Black Cat reminiscing about a time with Spider-Man.
The story also ends in a way that’ll put you on the edge of your seat.Īrtists Kubert and Frigeri draw a solid comic with very expressive Spider-Man faces through the mask. The Marvel universe has had its fair share of alien attacks, but you’ve never seen anything like this. That includes a major Marvel villain coming out of the woodwork and a threat that’s quite unique.
The story ramps up well with a big twist in the middle that changes the entire narrative. Zdarsky shines a light on Riri in particular and she has a touching moment with Spider-Man that reminds us what makes a hero isn’t their powers, but what is in their heart. Black Panther, Ironheart, and Hawkeye all get moments to shine in this issue. The main story delivers on many lingering plot elements and integrates the many heroes well. In between is a nice collage of all 299 covers prior to this issue which helps make the overall package feel important as the series reaches this milestone. The backup is created by Zdarsky, Goran Parlov and Giada Marchisio and has a touching–and funny–story with Black Cat. The main story runs 34 pages by Zdarsky with art by Adam Kubert and Juan Frigeri and it’s all about Tinkerer’s big plans.
The overall package feels well worth the price. Doom shows up! Fine, you have my attention. Zdarsky is clearly trying to fix that with a complex story that defies time and space. The Tinkerer is the villain of choice here and given he was Spider-Man’s second villain ever it’s a shame he’s not more memorable. Listen to the latest episode of our weekly comics podcast!
