Ratings and reviews

So, I don't write reviews often. But for this one I had to. I just bought this and finished reading through it literally minutes ago. This is hands down not only one of my favorite spiderman stories but one of my favorite comics. Its full of epic and heartbreaking moments. It shows a old and broken down peter parker way past his prime. My only complaint was that sometimes the dialogue seemed disjointed but o figure that has more to do with peters mental state at the time rather than poor writing. Its a definite recommendation for any spidey fan

Read this comic in 6th grade, It was a completely and dramaticly depressive take on such a comical and energetic character like Spiderman. To take such a Hero and put him in a setting like this makes for such a compelling and heartfelt comic. More than just action or adventure but Human relation and social indifferences, It just goes to show that these larger than life Superheroes are more alike to us than we think. Great Take on Spiderman, Highly recommend it.

Doesn't feel like Spidey to me. Storyline felt promising, but let down by a simplistic plot and a neat, tie all loose ends climactic showdown. The art is just too The Dark Knight Returns copycat.
