Finished reading Amazing Spider-Man: Spider-Verse, bringing together all of the different Spider-Men, women and animals of Marvels multiverse writer Dan Slott tells one of Marvel's biggest Spider-Man events that threaten the whole landscape of the multiverse. The book opens when the Spider-Man of Earth-449 is killed by Morlun when he goes to the Armstrong Park of New Lunar York. The book then jumps to the main Marvel universe as Silk wakes up Peter Parker in is apartment as the two head out to the streets of New York when they meet Spider-Woman, Spider-Girl and Spider-Man 2099 as they stop a group of criminals when another group of Spider-Men from across the multiverse come to take everyone to the safe zone of Earth-13 as one of the dimensional vampires called the Inheritors has gone after Kaine over at the New Warriors' base in Europe only to be saved by a smaller group of Spider-Men. Once everyone is on Earth-13 the team of multiversal Spider-Men detect another team of Spider-Men in the year of 2099 led and gathered by Doctor Octopus, the Superior Spider-Man and once the two factions meet the inheritors decide to go on the attack as all of their prey are in one spot which leads to the large group splitting up into smaller teams. Overall this was a great book as it brings together elements of writer Dan Slott's work on Marvel's Superior and Amazing Spider-Man series along with multiple different takes on Spider-Man which is written extremely well as does not feel too crowded. There is some great amount of comedy throughout the book form the use of Spider-Ham being the comic relief of the book has some great laugh out loud moments. There are some brilliant character moments between Doc Ock Spider-Man and Peter Parker Spider-Man thanks to how the two react to each other and when the Uncle Ben of Earth-3145 needs motivation it's actually Otto who gives the speech which said a a lot about his character. Additionally the small character moments between characters like Spider UK and Spider-Man India as well as the interaction Spider-Ham has with Mayday Parker towards the end of the story are handled in spectacular fashion. The art in the book is great as artists Olivier Coipel designs some amazing action set pieces between the Spider-Men and the Inheritors while the different art style that artist Giuseppie Camuncoli has during the middle part of the book works amazingly well for the more character driven moments of the book. 8.5/10.
