Gotta get back in time....or not.
My review for, Superior Spider-Man #18. The epic conclusion of the Superior Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2099's confrontation! However, as one door closes, another opens! (Translastion, "This is only the beginning!")
The Good
In this issue, both the Superior Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2099, try to finish what they had started! Superior tries to stop Horizon from blowing itself up because of a, "Time bomb"; and 2099 tries to prevent himself from ceasing to exist! Writer Dan Slott did an outstanding job with this issue, and you certainly will not want to miss it; as it closes one door in Superior Spider-Man's life, and opens a new one for him. Plus, the same happens for Spider-Man 2099! What Slott did right was, how he handled every plot point that he created with this story arc; and eventually made it reach a very climactic ending with this issue. This was a very intense issue because you didn't know what all was going to happen to either of the Spider-Men! You knew they'd turn out okay in the end, but the storytelling and how Dan Slott weaved the story, made me (in particular) suspend my belief and just enjoy the story at hand. I'm greatly interested in seeing how Spider-Man 2099 will adjust to living in the past and working at an early version of Alchemax, run by his Grandfather. However, I'm even more so interested in seeing how Carlie Cooper will use the knowledge that Doc Ock is running Peter's body, in exposing the truth to everyone! To summarize, Dan Slott did a superior job with this issue!
The Bad
No complaints, the best issue from the encounter with Spider-Man 2099!
The Verdict
5 out of 5, if you were looking for a good reason to check out this series; I suggest you read the Spider-Man 2099 story arc that was in this series! It had action, great story, and awesome artwork; all wrapped up in a couple of issues. Also, the ending of this issue is really something that shouldn't be missed out on; because it'll [certainly] have a huge impact on the series! Plus, this story arc setup readers for the ongoing Spider-Man 2099 series! So if you wanted more Spider-Man 2099, you get more of him! (On a monthly bases of course.) Check out my review for the first issue of Spider-Man 2099, if you need a reason to pick it up! (Spider-Man 2099 #1 Review.) Next review, Superior Spider-Man #20.
Check out my review for, Superior Spider-Man #32, as it follows Spock in the future?! (Also the first issue for Edge of the Spider-Verse!)
