while the artwork is phenominal, I stopped reading this due to the numerous references to other comic book series. Apparently in order to understand the whole story taking place in this graphic novel you will need to also read Spider-Woman, Silk, Superior Spiderman, Spider-Man 2099, Ultimate Spiderman, and Spiderverse. That's a little bit much, and the numerous asides throughout this book became a distraction. For what it's the story can be enjoyed without the tie-in's. I am pretty confident that the FVRL probably has many of the titles I just mentioned.
