The Rundown: Peter has a final confrontation with Fisk as his allies fight to reveal the truth.
Spider-Man is confronting Kingpin and Mr. Negative while his son Richard and Felicia fight beneath the building to access the machine beneath Fisk’s tower. As the battles rage, Harry witnesses Mysterio making a deal with another hand of the Maker while Peter fights for his life and Richard confronts some dangerous technology.
As the battles come to an end, Peter and Richard have a decisive victory that will unmask Kingpin and his crimes to the world causing Li to do something unexpected that will backfire on them both. With Peter and his family finally safe, Harry and Peter talk and Peter is asked a question that will make his consider who he is and what he will be going forward.
The Story: Hickman brings this story to an exciting and entertaining conclusion filled with great action, thrills and suspense. I love the determination from the characters, but what ultimately connects with me in this story and series is the commitment to evolving Peter Parker as a person and that is shown with a great flashback between him and MJ as well as through their relationship in the issue.
The Art: Checchetto and Messina deliver powerful, exciting and visually stunning art throughout the issue. Everything from the action to the character moments looks amazing.
