We're six volumes in, and I'm still enjoying Nick Spencer's run, but I can't help it's missing SOMETHING big.

So this is mostly going to revolve around Absoulte Carnage event. And in doing so we have 3 issues that cater to it. Peter's fight against Norman as a Carnage version of Green Goblin. You got glimpses of it in the event but here you get a far more detailed fight. On top of that you get a Goblin Red Nation issue which I guess sets up Norman's future. Last but not least is the very first issue which shows Peter almost proposing.

The first issue is probably strongest. It's funny, charming, and one step closer to bringing us back to the Peter and MJ relationship we loved prior One More Day horrendous effects. I also enjoyed the issues with Carnage Goblin verse Peter and how he never will give up helping people. Good stuff. The red Nation issue is a dud, boring, and not fun at all.

Overall, another solid collection but I really hope Nick's run eventually gets to "great" status down the line. A 3 out of 5.
