Ratings and reviews

I was expecting it to be a tiny bit longer, with little bit more to the plot. Regardless, it is absolutely amazing. A very sad story, and like the title says, it is the death of Spider-Man. But he goes out in a way that you would expect, for a young kid who's willing to give it all for his friends and family. Really speaks to my heart, and anyone who's a Spider-Man fan or even just a Marvel fan in General, needs to read this

That they make you think that he died when he doesn't, if u want deny this go ahead because in one of the Miles Morals comics Peter Parker/ the original Spider-Man comes in ready to fight by Mile's side vs the ultimate Green Goblin, then Peter says to Miles that Peter gives up being Spider-Man and lets Miles be the Spider-Man while Peter and M.J. go off and start there own life.

Pretty fast paced. Lacks story depth. Big lead up with captain America/shield cameo. Final battle let down with not a single veteran hero presumed with lead up...
