This was...okay? Issue 4 being by far the best issue. The five issue volume covers Gwen dealing with Peter's death, fighting the vulture, learning how dangerous Matt is in this universe, and last but not least Spider-pig. Oh and the Mary Janes...yeah...we'll get to that.

So what did I like? The talk with Gwen and May parker was handled real well. The loss of Peter should be as impactful as the loss of Gwen for Peter in 616. So to see that played out, and well done, is always a plus in my book. Another plus would be Matt being evil. He's not just "hahaha I'm EVIL!" He's a lawyer, who's evil, and smug, and merciless. Everything that he is in 616 but used for evil. This is what makes him interesting in this universe. Also the art for most part is solid.

Now the bad. Vulture's fights, or the fights in general, are kind of generic and boring. None have the regular flair of the great Spider-man fights we've come to see and love. Also what the fuck was with Spider-pig? I guess to give some humor but it didn't work well here. Oh and the Mary Janes...this idea is terrible. Basically Gwen's band....and it just feels so "hipster" that it hurts me reading it.

Overall it's decent start. I'm sure as it goes on it'll get better cause it's laying out alot of good seeds, but let's see if it grows to something worth reading. 2.5 for this one.
