What should have been a hilarious exchange between reluctant allies is instead drained of humor. The lifeless facial work really becomes a problem during a key moment between Johnny Storm and JJJ. Their pages move the narrative along at a decent clip, but the figures rarely display the energy or emotional range needed. This issue is divided between Adam Kubert and Juan Frigeri. Nor does the muddled artwork do much to inject extra life into the story. This issue includes a few memorable, character-driven scenes, but not enough to balance out the clunky, unmemorable plot. That issue was all about exploring the heated relationship between Peter and J. There's a reason Spectacular Spider-Man #6 has outshone the rest of Zdarsky's run so readily. There's too much bland exposition and too little of the whimsical charm and character-focused storytelling that defines Zdarsky's best work. The scope is vast, but this issue does a poor job of actually making the reader care about the events within.

The trick is in the execution, which is where Zdarsky's story is stumbling. I don't put much stock in that criticism, as Dan Slott's Spider-Man run has regularly proven that it's possible to push the character in strange, unlikely new directions and still maintain the core of Spider-Man. Some might argue this is all too big for a Spider-Man comic, dragging the hero out of his comfort zone to deal with challenges above his pay grade. That in turn fuels a larger doomsday scenario later in the story. Writer Chip Zdarsky introduces a truly world-ending threat as Spidey and his fellow heroes find their own tech wiped out even as an army of Tinkerer-boosted villains swoop in for the kill.
