So as always, I just want to dive into the cliff hanger but before we get ahead our ourselves, lets rewind to the beginning and we can discuss what worked and what didn’t work.
The situation at camp went from bad to worse now that the army lost the scion. I had a feeling that this would happen but I wanted more in this issue. I wanted to know Bengy’s role in the Spider-Verse. And ofcourse we got silk as the bride, and kaine as the other. We still don’t know much about their role. All we know now is that the weaver is plotting to take down his jailors. But that we knew already. So now, the spider army has access to some juicy information on the prophecy that details Bengy silk and kaine’s role in all of this. We also learn that there’s a bit more information on the scrolls. I hope that reveal will knock our socks off.
Next up, we got the Japanese Spider-Man and his gigantic robot. If I’m correct, this Spider-Man had his own live action tv series a few decades ago. This was before my time so I can’t tell you much about it but I just love knowing that we are getting a bunch more Spider-Man moving forward. Speaking about new spidermen, we are now introduced to this short black and white Spider-Man, cowboy Spider-Man and these 2 other guys that i don’t recognise, and of course Japanese Spider-Man with his tower sized robot. I have no clue who this little Japanese Spider-Man is and this is my first time looking at a cowboy themed Spider-Man. These 2 are a bit hard for me to recognise. But I love the talking spider mobile lol.
O btw, remembers the Spider-Man from the ultimate Spider-Man tv show? I love this little part where he yells, web warrior’s away. This is obviously alluding to the current ultimate tv show web warriors. If you haven’t check this out yet, I highly recommend it. It is so good.
So before I give you my thoughts on the last panel, I wanna show you the cover art one more time. I gotta say, this is the most creepy cover art for the Spider-Verse yet. I can recognise most of the spider heads except for these 4. If you guys know which spider men they are then please share your knowledge in the comments below. And take a look at Karn, he is still relevant lol. Im still rooting for him to turn on his family at the end. Maybe karn will be a new antihero? Marvel I hope you are listening to this hint hint wink wink lol.
Ok Finally, we arrive at the cliff hanger. In this reality, uncle ben is a spider totem. Im gunna go on a limb and say that his peter parker is dead. So just to give you some back story on this reveal, the guys at bleeding cool stated that the reveal of Uncle ben at the end if the amazing Spider-Man issue 12 will break the internet. Er…..i got to admit that I was shocked and got chills because we haven’t seen uncle ben yet but did it break the internet? Well it was better than Kim kardasian’s nude pictures, that’s for sure but the question is, did it break the internet? In my honest opinion, it did not. And this is my reason as to why. We are dealing with multi universal travel. So I would expect to see different incarnations of Spider-Man. But of course I expect to see different incarnations of his family and friends as well. so was it too farfetched to imagine an uncle ben with spider powers? Not really. Don’t get me wrong, I love his appearance. But it didn’t break the internet in my opinion.

You know what would break the internet? Let’s rewind, I don’t know, 10 years ago? Do you remember the very last episode of the 90’s Spider-Man tv show? Well he dealt with multiversal travel as well. Guess what happens at the end: he meets Stan Lee. STAN LEE! If the final reveal was stan lee instead of uncle ben then I would die from nerdgasm lol. Anyway, im just gunna leave you with that thought to marinate in your mind.
