I don’t normally review single issues but this issue can be read independently of the Amazing Spider-Man series. Dan Slott’s Spider-Man work has been mediocre at best since Superior Spider-Man. However, this individual issue is a brilliant, beautiful capstone to his lengthy run on the character.

I wasn’t quite sure where the story would go when I began reading, and about halfway through it dawned on me that this wasn’t a typical beat-em-up or clone-ridden installment. Instead, it reminds me of the emotions I want to feel when I read these modern mythmakers. Wonderful work.

Dan Slott has been writing this comic for ten years! That's insane! My husband is going to cry if he ever stops writing Daredevil, lol. I don't think he will anytime soon, but you never know!

I am in no way caught up on this series, but Jacob asked me to read this once he was finished. It didn't conclude a story, or start a new one... It was more of a goodbye.

Slott does a wonderful job of showing why Spider-Man is important and what makes him a hero. He's out there saving the world every single day, one person at a time. Protecting someone's mom might not be world-changing for everyone, but it was life-changing for someone.

If you love Spider-Man, this is definitely an issue to have!
