And I will say, he did it without delving into alternate Spider-universes. I think in the brief amount of time he has, Zdarksy highlighted every positive aspect of Spider-Man and why he’s remained so popular over the decades. This issue spotlights that aspect of the character, and Zdarsky hit it out of the park for me.įrost: I’d be interested to learn more about why this issue didn’t work for you, Alex. Spidey is at his best when he’s a ground-level character, in my opinion, and even with time travel and alternate realities thrown into the mix, ground-level is how Zdarsky has ultimately played him throughout his run. Joe Grunenwald: Chip Zdarsky has grown a lot as a writer over the course of his brief run on Spider-Man, and his final issue on the title perfectly encapsulates all of his strengths. Jones: I definitely liked aspects of the issue and some of the dramatic work with the character, but I don’t think this issue ultimately worked for me from start-to-finish.
It was a masterful take on the character from Zdarsky and one that resonated with me quite deeply. I think if the Spider-Geddon book we are reviewing this week represents the convoluted and ever-expanding saga of Spider-Man, then this more reserved take on the character displays his timelessness and his ability to inspire (and charm and repulse) people of all types. AJ Frost: It was a pitch-perfect epitaph for this run and a thoroughly humane reading of the Spider-Man mythos.
