A chat with comics writer Dan Slott about Spider-Man from the Verge: What were your thoughts around Spider-Man finally coming to the Marvel Cinematic Universe?: I was completely side-swiped. I didn’t see it coming at all. I had so long been told about the politics of it, and had been told by the powers that be that it was never, ever, ever going to happen. So, I was gobsmacked.

Galactus hunger drove him to devour and absorber the power and substance of a planet. Norrin’s sacrifice saved his planet homeworld Zenn-La but condemned him to search the heavens using his Cosmic powers to find more planets…

As a whole, Spider-verse may be Marvel’s best attempt at an event comic in years. The core premise and conflict engrossing. the way it celebrates Spider-Man’s long, colorful history is delightful.

That said, there have been flaws with the approach to Spider-verse, and those flaws threaten to derail the whole experience in this final issue. Amazing Spider-Man #14 is almost entirely consumed by the final battle between the surviving Spiders and the Inheritors. Everyone’s path finally…
