I didn't like Edge of Spider-Verse #2, I felt the full comic book could have been crammed in four pages of the latest issue Superior Spider-Man. As much as I didn't like issue #2, art or story, I loved issue #3. Dustin Weaver did a great job introducing a brand new Spider-Man, not to mention he drew him well too. How often do you read a comic book where it is drawn and written by the same person?
Aaron Aikman experimented on himself, the result was becoming this particular world's Spider-Man and Naamurah was possibly the Green Goblin, not as a doppelgänger, but as an arch nemesis. In true Peter Parker fashion, Aaron has the same luck, where those close to him are cursed. His girlfriend leaves him for reasons unknown and enters back into his life all with in the same issue. Dustin gives a sense of time stuck using twenty pages, an admirable feat of story telling.
This issue has everything a one shot should have. There was action and romance, some suspense, and most importantly a villain worthy to be written about in the pages of Spider-Man. Dan Slott created an idea and is allowing others to run with it. It's almost reminiscent of a giant "What If" story, but a reality for the 616 universe, the best part is, Peter doesn't even know about it yet.
And a side note, if you like the Marvel collectors cards from the eighties, you're in for a treat.
4 out of 5 stars
