What I Didn’t Like
✘Sort of strange to have a Superior Spider-Man throwback issue
Themes:
The overall theme of the story seemed to be using the resources you have at your disposal to solve a problem that is too big for one individual.
Spidey-Ock recognized that this crazed looney killing Spider-people across the multiverse was a threat to him and his world, and that if these individuals couldn’t kill him alone, neither could he.
Rather than attempt to take him on alone, Ock decided to create an army of Spider-Men (and women) to pool their unique skills, talents, and personalities in an effort to take down the new big baddie.
In life there are times when problems arise and they’re simply more than we can handle on our own. Rather than get frustrated and give up, we should take time to take stock of what resources we have available at our disposal. It’s wise during these times to consult with others that have different insights or skills that can be beneficial in drumming up a solution what plagues you.
Overall Score: 9/10
