Spider-Geddon #3
Recap
Spider-Man, but not just one, but Two, one being Peter Parker from Earth-1048 and another being Otto Octavius from Earth-616 jump into Earth-51778. The Spider-Men hold on to towers of rocks in what looks like the Grand Canyon on Earth-616. As they feel the ground shake beneath them. Peter assumes it is a world that constantly has Earthquakes, Otto quickly corrects him, points him to the battle that is occurring to his right. Leopardon a Giant Robot piloted by Takuya Yamashiro Also know as Spider-Man and an unnamed monster.
The other Spider-Men introduces themselves to Takuya, convince him to use the Sword Virgor. As first Takuya was hesitant as it would be dishonorable to use such a powerful sword against a monster that would not require it. As Otto tells him it would be dishonorable to delay the slaying of the monster, which Takuya agrees. Otto explains why they are there, the Inheritors will be the greatest fight of their lives.
In Mumbai, Earth-50101 Spider-Man Miles Morales of Earth-616 recruits Spider-Man India Pavitr Prabhakar of Earth-50101 the damage that the Inheritors can cause and if he does not help their conquest. Pavitr joins Miles as they teleport to where the other recruited Spider-Men are gathering and gearing up for a mission. They meet with Spider-Ham, Spider-Man, Spinneret, Spider-Ben and Petey, SP//dr. and Silk
As the two groups come up with a plan, one group decides to take the fight to the Inheritors as the other decide other plans.
The night is clear, the stars twinkle in the distance and the moon stands bright and tall along with a lit up skyscraper that is the current home of the Inheritors. The Current Inheritors Brix, Daemos, Hennix, and Bora are attempting to resurrect their father Solus so they can walk the multiverse again.
From a distance of their conversation, Spider-Ham is listening to their conversation. After knowing the plan, Spider-Ham returns to the group to inform them of what he heard. Miles holds a detonator, asking Silk to confirm this will take out the support beams. Silk confirms that as the Inheritors attack the group of Spider-Men. As the Spider-Men are taking out one by one the team retreats to the Leopardon barely surviving the vicious attack.
As the others talk, Osborn and Spiders-Man have a conversation. It appears that Osborn has come up with a way to Inheritors on Earth-616. They would be unable to travel the multiverse. By tramping them on Earth-616 would be destroying everything on Earth.
Review
So much going on, so many different Spider-Men, So many different characters. It is extremely hard to keep up with all of the action. As someone who doesn’t follow Spider-Man, I will admit I feel a bit lost at times. It is also important to note that there are a ton of tie-ins. Luckily for readers at the end of each issue, they tell us what is next.
With that being said, I really enjoy this series. Although I am a newcomer the book is still a pleasure to read. I would recommend any Spider-man fan to follow this series. If you are new, this probably isn’t the series for you. However, if you want a challenge hop right in.
Final Thoughts
I really appreciate this book. I almost feel bad for being the reviewer, because I do feel if I knew more about the spiderverse I would have scored it a lot higher. However, because it could be hard for new readers to catch on I did place it at an 8. Storytelling I gave it a solid 9 because even if I do feel lost I still love the current story. The Art is done really well, I love the coloring, there is a ton of detail in each Spider-Man. I truly feel as a Reviewer I am not doing this book the justice it deserves, but as a new fan, I really appreciate this series.
