Amazing Spider-Man #14

(Basically the red crystal holds the essence of Morlun's father)



Spider-Man brings him to "Uncle Ben"'s dimension which is filled with radiation which is toxic to Morlun and co. Morlun says that this will kill him, and Spider-Man tells him to go to the bomb shelter. It will keep him alive, but barely.

That was an incredibly underwhelming ending. Most of the conflicts were solved off screen, Peter never did anything really relevant and lots of wasted opportunities.

May scenes were great but well, I was expecting more from an ending you know?

Is equally parts amusing and depressing that the mobile game managed to do more with the multiple spidermen concept.

Wait the mobile version of Spiderverse is better than the comic, if it isn't written by Slott must be an improvement.

To me the biggest issue was that a lot of stuff was going on in other titles. I mean for example Karn turning over a new leaf and deciding to help the Spider-Men occurred in the Spider-Verse anthology. Ben Reilly, Kaine and Ultimate Jessica destroying the cloning machine happened in the Scarlet Spiders miniseries. A lot of the character interactions also occurred elsewhere.

On one hand I get that there's only so much space to tell a story but on the other I look at something like Civil War which, as much as people here hate it, still managed to tell a self-contained story with the tie-in titles fleshing out their respective characters as opposed to major events and deaths occurring outside of the main mini.

Spider-UK in the mobile game is ADORABLE. (He's adorable in the comics too.) And the Spider-Punk event today has Ben Reilly & Kaine talking to each other. MY CLONE BABIES.

I'm looking forward to the Ghost Spider and Anansi releases.

I need Spider-Ham!

Are the new characters limited, or can you unlock them later?

[fiddlingfrog.livejournal.com]

Yes to both. When new characters are introduced there are events to win them, and for a limited time afterwards it's easier to get them from portals. After that they're added to the regular pool of possible characters, though some are easier to get than others, and not all are available at all times.

Overall it seems kinda.... straightforward?

Morlun and family are hunting Spiders. Spiders gather, lure him into a dimension where he can't live freely/is effectively trapped, done.

Like, it makes sense that it worked, but it's not exactly complex and doesn't seem like it needs a big spider army to do.
