Welcome back to our new series in which we review the comics that we read every week. This week Seppin is going to be reviewing Edge of Spider-Geddon #2 by Lonnie Nadler, Zac Thompson, and Gerard Way with art by Alberto Jimenez Alburquerque.
~~Review~~
I do really enjoy exploring the vast spider-verse. There are so many unique characters that I would love to see join the main universe. For example, Peni Parker is a great character. Her father used to pilot the Sp//dr. Which is a mech suit that is sort of like Spider-Man. Her father died and now we have Peni trying to live in his shoes.
I loved this tie-in book because it continues off of what we knew from Spider-Verse and adds some more to Peni’s story. Although we didn’t get anything important pertaining to the Spider-Geddon event, it is a really fun ride. We are introduced to Ven#m, which is a new mech made to replace Peni, but it goes crazy and becomes a mechanical version of Venom. So, it’s all really cool.
Overall, it is a fun story that builds on Peni’s character with a ton of Japanese influence.
