This comic brought me into the Spider-Verse for the first time.  (Long-time fan of Spider-Man in the form of TV and movies, and Miles Morales introduced me to Spider-Punk this summer.) It was quite an introduction! The colors popped, the animation was pretty detailed – fun subtleties in artwork & dialogue made it a delight. The characters were diverse, with First American and LGBTQ representation, denouncement of fascism, and racist villains. What an interesting parallel universe! I really enjoyed the pacing of the story, the overall arch, and the relationship between the characters, villains included. I look forward to reading more into the Spider-Verse.
