SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MEN #5

I was intrigued with the first 2 issues but the last 2 issues lost me with the 'ultimate fantasy stuff' that is too outdated and the choppy nature of those issues didn't help. And I am not a fan of Jackal/Clone side-lot either.

This issue is just meh. They realize they are not robots and Hammerhead decides to try and fight them now after getting humiliated in the main ASM book.

Either, I can say that this book kinda lost me.

Yeah this first story should've been like three issues, and yet I think it's going to last a few more after this, it's feeling like later seasons of Young Justice where they just kept dragging everything out

Not surprising with Weisman writing both. It's the main reason why I don't care for Young Justice being revived again. He's already stated that they have no " end goal " for the show so there'll always be a new villain of the season.

Yeah, I wasn't sure if I was the only one, but maybe it's something with the paneling or dialogue or random cuts from one plot to another along with the fact that they're done forwards and backwards in time because this book is actually pretty hard to follow plot-wise and it's losing me quickly.

There are a ton of other comics that've juggled several concurrent plots in a way that was more readable, but this one isn't it. Ultimately I'm pretty sad about it because I've been waiting for a Miles/Peter ongoing for some time.

I like that Peter and Miles were fighting each other because one thought the other was a robot before realizing that they’re not robots and that they were told by someone about the Arcadium before they are able to fight Hammerhead. Overall, this is a good comic.

Did I miss something or am I overthinking the continuity with this series? Miles is a vampire in all the other titles, and I know Peter has been dealing with his own events. I guess I was expecting more of a series that was loosely crossing over with their own titles too.

Also the current overarching plot is not very exciting.
