A end to a solid run. The last issue of Sam's book is actually the strongest part of the 3 issues here. I did like Captain America 750 which showcase a real bookend to both Sam and Steve and worked well to close those storylines up. And then Captain America finale was good but you can tell was rushed. It felt like a 2-3 arc stuffed into one, and while entertaining, lacked the punch I had hoped for.

Overall though a very solid run, as most Captain America runs are.

Clone Conspiracy main title is actually pretty damn strong.

Basically you have the Jackal bringing people back to life, nothing knew there. But this time they aren't the simple clones he used to make. And when they remember everything, this can take a heavy toll on someone like Peter. Even more so when it's revealed who everyone is, we get even darker into Peter's past.

I will say it was an enjoyable story that moved quick. However, this book as atricious mapping, making the main event the first half of this book and everything else in the back half. This makes me not want to read the tie-ins after I finish the main event because I know exactly what's going to happen. This was extremely poor choice in mapping.

Saying that it was fun and glad I got to experience the storyline here years later. For a clone story probably better than it should be. A 3.5 out of 5.

Oliver is going through hell here with first dealing with a old version of himself but things aren't what they seem. Then we get really weird throwback to the 2006 era of green arrow and I love it.

A 4 out of 5.

Pretty art can't save this from being a drag to read. Not for me.

A very fast paced fun space battle.

Basically Hal died, but not really. His essence and I guess body are inside of his ring after the big fight he had. Now it's up to Kyle to get him out. Some touching moments with old Green Lantern Corps that made this "might be dead, might be in your head" moment really work for me. On top of that we do get John and the Yellow Corp going against Lazface or however spell it, not as memorable, but still pretty to look out.

Overall a fun fast paced battle arc with not much to say but a easy breezy fun read. A 3.5 out of 5. I'll put it up to a 4 on here.

A very fun thriller.

Basically you have a guy who gets kidnapped, sent into another world not his own, and having to get back to his family. It's pretty emotional, well paced, and interesting story. I'd say the first 2/3rd is solid but not great, but there's a twist towards the end I did NOT see coming that really amped it up and made everything far more scary for our characters. Solid ending too.

As I said in my first Omnibus review for this run that JMS was a big reason I became a Spider-Man fan. His run is one of the ones alongside Ultimate Spider-Man to get me into comics really.

So we got through Sin's Past in the last volume which is a pretty crappy arc. Now we have Peter trying to put his life back together but also now he's a New Avenger. This volume starts off with the past of Peter's high school days haunting him. Pretty much a anti-bully message that results in a sudden loss of a home. This leads us to Peter spending time at the Avengers mansion with his Aunt May and MJ, and also kind of having Tony as his mentor.

But things go bad quick as we reintroduce Murlan and things get wild for Peter as his body is "dying" and begins The Other arc which is very very long 12 issue crossover event for Spider-Man all to really make him more like the Toby version of Spider-Man having webs shoot out of his hands. Really...that was the reason.

Then we get a tie in look to back in black for Spider-Man 3. Basically a lot of what's being done in this book is either to relate to the movies, or Civil War event or the forced One More day storyline that is now infamous. In one more day Peter has to make a deal to sacrifice his marriage in order to let May live. A very old may who was injured, and dying, but very old, lived a full life, but he gives up his life and marriage with MJ for her. Which really was just the easy way to reset Peter's life after being outed by the media for being Spider-Man thanks to the events of the Civil War arc.

So all in all this is a messy Omnibus. Even though JMS is a strong writer, the constant crossovers and forced mandates can be felt ALL throughout this Omnibus.

Now it's not all bad. I actually enjoyed the Back in Black storyline. It's dark, and not our typical wisecracking superhero fun. If Aunt May is shot, Peter pretty much goes on a rampage. Makes for a lot of fun moments and brutal moments for our Hero. I also enjoyed most things with Peter and MJ. They have a special bond, and work as husband and wife, and JMS writes them both very well that it feels sad he was forced to write one more day. Feels it goes against everything he was writing them for.

The art is all over the place as well. Sometimes fantastic, sometimes not so much. Especially with The Other crossover, some of the art is really really mismatching with the tone it is going for. I also think too much shadowing at times but that's on par for this artist.

Overall not the worst thing, not the best thing, kind of right down the middle in terms of quality. Most of these stories I rated a 3 out of 5, and one a 4, and one a 2. So I feel like a 3 out of for the Omnibus makes sense. Almost a 2.5 but the charm and dialogue of Peter and MJ bump it to a 3 out of 5.

Pretty solid all around. It's not my cup of tea. Fantasy usually isn't my thing. But I liked how the characters all felt pretty different, the colorful world made it fun to explore this one, and I think the ending is pretty damn dark despite it having a more happy tone to it. The villain was great too, I wonder if he'll be back.

A 3 out of 5.

A fun first issue that moves quick but aimed for probably a younger generation than me. Kind of cooky and "cute" with YA themes like being yourself and finding what you're made for. Still enjoyable, art is solid, and King Shark part was actually lolz.

Wordless but intriguing alien war.
