Great art from Ryan Ottley as Nick Spencer takes us through Spidey's history with Norman Osborn

Meh.
Very good art.
Such mediocre storytelling that I don't know why I continue to bother reading anything Nick Spencer puts down on paper. There was a time Spider-Man was required reading - not so much anymore.
So many chances to be great - so very average.

I hate Marvel tie-ins so much. They're just cash grabs, and usually not that great. I refuse to pick up the tons of carnage issues, but luckily I was able to fill in the gaps enough for the story to make sense. Now we're jumping straight into 2099, plus Fantastic Four storylines? Ugh. Just let Spencer write about Spider-Man, bring in a few caped friends occasionally, and call it a day. Instead we jump from event to event with little time to actually build naturally on the events of previous issues. This one isn't Spencer's fault, it's on whatever Marvel execs keep thinking these are good ideas.

By virtue of 75% of this being a tie in to a not Spider-Man specific event this volume, read alone, wasn't the best. But It also wasn't bad. I'm still waiting for the shoe to drop and this to get as bad as people have always made it out to be.
