I definitely think this volume is better than the previous volume, bringing in some fun villains and adding to Peter Parker's personal storyline. Also I feel like someone should have figured out Peter is Spider-Man by now, with the way he's always disappearing. You'd think someone would put two and two together at some point.

There are some cringey moments when Spider-Man is fighting Kingpin, specifically in the comments that Peter makes about his weight. Those definitely did not age well.

But the Lizard comes back in this one and all I can think about is all those TikToks about Dr. Connors in No Way Home, insisting that everything can be fixed by changing everyone into lizards.
