When Azaceta is on his game, he draws really iconic looking Spider-Man art.  Unfortunately, it rarely works in continuity, as it feels much older than the art in the storylines before and after it.

However, in this issue Azaceta is off his game.  This book doesn’t look cool, but out of place, it looks ugly.  The faces look like they’re from low budget art school ads from the seventies.  The coloring is vibrant, but it is not enough to save some really awful posing.  Awful posing.  Awful.  Not good.

The story didn’t work for me, either.  The recent couple of years of spider stories have worked because there is an A plot with one villain, and a whole alphabet of subplots that carousel into the spotlight.  This issue throws every villain into the mix, and every subplot, and it’s just too much at once.
