The Story: Andrews brings the story to an exciting and compelling conclusion. The plot skillfully completed the character arcs and added some great twists and turns throughout. I like the mysterious nature of the world that’s created in this series and it will be interesting to see if there are more stories that can be told within it. I really enjoyed the big reveal in this issue and how it connects to Spider-Man. The story takes some really interesting narrative risks and ultimately leads to a satisfying conclusion
The Art: Andrews deliver some great art throughout the issue as well. The action was visually exciting and I continue to be impressed style.
