I didn’t know until this week that Spider-Verse #1 was going to be an anthology. I want to mention up front that I expected for a long time that this book would be a major chapter within the Spider-Verse story. It isn’t that. Instead, it’s six stories of varying shortness that either flesh out a Spider-Person we’ve seen on the edges of the event, introduce us to a new character, or parody some aspect of the Spider-Man mythos.

Amazing Spider-Man #5 Review! The Black Cat’s Revenge
This issue was a doozy! In a very frenzied, familiar way, Amazing Spider-Man #5 follows Peter as the recent events in his life are all building to a bunch of bad luck, due in a rather large part to his once friend, now enemy, The Black Cat.
