So, here we are at last. the subplot of Spider-Verse we've all been waiting for. Amazing Vs Superior, over who gets to lead the Spider Army and a chance for Peter to vent a few frustrations.
I did have a slight fear with that the build up to this issue would in fact have a showdown between these two would detract from the bigger picture and overshadow the overall premise of Spider-Verse, thankfully those fears were completely unfounded and this issue gave us everything we needed and more. Seriously when it comes to huge Spider tales Dan Slott knows what he's doing. Before this event started I had a feeling that this particular Marvel event would eclipse the other main Marvel events this year and given the disappointment of "Original Sin" and Axis it would prove to be the case that Spider-Verse is superior to those, or should that be amazing?
In my pre-event article. I asked if Spider-Verse would be Dan Slott's opus, which you can read here So three issues into the arc, I have to say that both Dan and Olivier Coipel are smashing it out of the park. It's not often that Marvel deliver's on a promise and we were promised an stonker of a story. so without any further ado lets delve into this issue and pick the bones out of this baby (pun intended) shall we?
The book opens immediately where we left the closing in ASM #10, Peter confronts Superior, informing him that he will be the SPider to lead the army not SpOCK. (Cue fanboy squee's) SpOCK demands to know why it should be Peter, who promptly hits him in the face and there ensues a minor skirmish between the two. Slott dealt with this moment very well, He would have known that fans would've been anticipating the showdown between the two and here he gets it out of the way quickly and subtly. Plus the way Peter gets SpOCK to fall into line with a clever piece of trickery is very satisfying indeed.
The pace of the story moves at a lightening pace once again here and you can feel the intensity of the situation flowing of the page, once again coupled with the beautiful artistry of Coipel. It's such a shame that this issue marks the end of the artist's involvement in this story, however all is not lost and Gianluigi Camuncoli takes over pencils from ASM #12.
Peter then makes the decision that the Spider army need to leave the confines of the "Safe Zone" Earth-13 but not before agreeing with SpOCK that their numbers need replenishing following the Spider's that have fallen. for this Peter sends Miles and Cartoon Spidey from the Ultimate Spider-Man tv show off on a mission to recruit other spider's to join the cause.
There is then a moment or two of checking in with Spider-Woman, Kaine, Reilly, Ultimate Black Widow and Miguel O'Hara, who are already embarked on missions for the spider army. receiving word that Spider-Man Noir has been taken down and that they were returning them to his own world to recover, Peter takes off to meet them there with Spider-Gwen and Anya Corazon. leaving Spider-Uk in charge. SpOCK makes a crack about fighting him for it which was funny to see Spider-Uk's response.
After Peter has left the army face an attack from the inheritors, where Morlun, Jennix and their father Solus appear in via a portal and instantly kill Spider-Monkey. (Ensuring that Spider-Ham will probably make it through this event) Cosmic Spider-Man informs the inheritors they've made an error attacking them in his domain, as he is in possesssion of the Enigma Force. the inheritors suffer their second casulty here as Cosmic Spidey kill's Jennix, who in turn respawns back at the cloning facility that the Spider Clones had gone to destroy in Scarlet Spider's #1 an issue I reviewed here,
Solus then informs Cosmic that there is no place that the spider's can hide and that he is a God of the multi-verse and as Cosmic Spider-Man unleashes the full force of his Universe's power at Solus, the inheritor just laughs and devours him. The closing of this issue also gas a big reveal as to whom the Scion is. and also the inheritors need to get him or her. as it transpires the Scion is the one who can end the reign of the inheritors, and by the end of the Issue the Scion is firmly in their grasp.
The score for ASM #11 was a impressive 9.0 this storyline continues to amaze and impress, and leaves you craving for ASM #12 and leaves lamenting the mini break for Christmas
