The art really pops as Quinones and Gibson bring Zdarsky scripts to life. Lots of references and throwbacks as Spider-man travels back in time (and meets his past self) to save the future from aliens. Good silly comic book fun that still manages to pack an emotional wallop.

This was short but it continues to be a really good series. I didn't really buy the whole time travel thing but the art was good, villians were good, humor.

This is Spider-Man as he was meant to be (hopefully ASM will join the trend).

I had such a fun time with this! I randomly picked it up at the library (I've pretty much given up trying to read these things in any sort of order) and was surprised how comprehensible it was. A simple and entertaining time travel story with super-villain shenanigans and the great J. Jonah Jameson yelling all over the place (definitely the highlight of this volume).

I might even attempt to continue the series? Or maybe I'll just read whatever is on the shelf.

The characters looked different with each mini-story which I thought was confusing. This comic sort of reminded me of No Way Home.

Eh. This is where the series is starting to drag. The whole timey wimey mess is a little timey wimey and messy for me and young Peter gets old after a while, tbh. *But* in the comic's defense, I am generally not a huge fan of time travel shenanigans in a comic book. So, probably a biased review on my part, so take from that what you will.

I'm really digging this take on Spidey, plus I'm a sucker for a good time travel tale. I loved the nod to the 90s animated series with Peter's outfit in the past. Looking forward to v.4.
