...and not just your life force, but the life force of every spider-hero across the spider-verse, from Earth 001 to... whatever the highest-numbered Earth might be!
No big surprises here. Dan Slott's Spider-Man odyssey is as advertised, bringing every Spider-man you remember (and a few you don't) into a big, spider-verse-spanning quest to defeat a group of other dimensional vampires from a place called Loomworld.
My biggest complaint about this TPB is the story, which is just barely coherent and rarely interesting. The Inheritors' motives and plans remain confusing throughout, with them first portrayed as carnivorous supermen playing with their food and later portrayed as an oversexed family out to destroy the spider-heroes altogether.
To make matters worse only the first half of this TPB is the actual Spider-Verse saga. The second half, perplexingly placed after the Inheritors are defeated, is a series of outtakes and side adventures that would have worked a lot better if mixed into the first half. As it is the saga leads to a conclusion, then leads to another, less thrilling conclusion, then leads to a third, still less thrilling conclusion, and on, and on, and on.
A lot of the art isn't very good, though I did enjoy the Spider-Woman issues near the back. Spider-Woman is, by the way, far more interesting than any of the numerous spider-men and spider-girls inhabiting this series of comic books, and I wish that Spider-Verse had been more about her, and less about Spider-Man.
Anyway, I read it. I'm now more than ready for Across the Spider-Verse, which will hit theaters this June.
