I haven’t read the main event yet, but even so this was pretty interesting and quick to follow. It basically has two stories with different characters; two ‘teams’ with different immediate goals and same long term.

I was torn on how to rate this, because I had very different feelings about the two included stories.I wasn’t really feeling Spider Force. The characters felt underdeveloped and the plot jumped around a lot and felt somewhat nonsensical. It felt like there was a good story buried somewhere in there, but it wasn’t quite there yet. It also felt very tonally dissonant with the rest of the crossover event. For all the seriousness of the event, the rest of Spider-Geddon retained the lightheartedness

Two teams of Spiders race across the Multiverse to complete two missions that could turn the tide of Spider-Geddon in their favour. But of course, the Inheritors aren't about to let them adventure unhindered...Spider-Force, by Christopher Priest, has some good ideas. That's probably the nicest thing I can say about it. Priest's unapologetic approach to narrative falters here, as he doesn't spend enough time explaining exactly what's going on, which makes the proceedings a bit murky. The horror a...

Blah. It felt like there was no reason to tell any of these stories other than that the umbrella of an "event " book should never go to waste.

Covert teams are sent on missions - Spider Girls see the great team up of Annie May, Mayday and Anya seeking to find the secret of the scrolls before the Inheritors - this takes place in Renew Your Vows universe! Good seeing more on Mayday and Annie-May but Anya was hardly characterised.. - The Uncanny Spider Force is deservedly a Superior Spider-Man created team out to stop Solus being reborn - The Black Spider Girl, Kaine, Jessica Drew and the incredible new totem - Spider-boy, this book is wo...

The last of the tie-ins for the Spider-Geddon crossover covers two titles: Spider-Force and Spider-Girls. The second story is better than the first, but both seem to not be drastically important to the overall storyline.Spider-Force takes Kaine, Jessica Drew, Ashley Burton (Old Man Logan-verse Spider Woman), and Spider-Kid (new character in the universe they are in that seems to have an aging quirk... he looks young but is older than all of them??? I'm not sure, it was very confusing...) and put...

Imagine trying to follow A Song of Fire and Ice by just reading the Reek and Samwell chapters. It would be tough, wouldn’t it? Now imagine trying to read a crossover event side story with a whole bunch of generic female spider characters? Yep, here, Marvel, take my brain. You can trade it in for a couple of day old tacos at 7-11. Probably.The Inheritors, those evil creepy eaters of spider-essence are back from the previous Spider-Verse crossover and they’re looking for some spider-life force to

These are fine if you've read the main Spider-Geddon title. You'll be completely lost though with these two stories if you haven't though. They spin directly out of the middle of that event and Spider-Force especially gives you little context about what's going on. It's just a bunch of Spider-People on an alternate irradiated world looking for a Macguffin. Priest's writing style doesn't help either. The way he jumps around in the story makes it hard to follow and there's some inconsistencies. At...

Collects Spider-Force issues #1-3 and Spider-Girls issues #1-3I always rate Spider-themed titles a little higher than they deserve because I am a big fan. Both of these stories are really supplementals for the main "Spider-Geddon" storyline, and don't stand on their own. I enjoyed aspects of both the "Spider-Force" title, as well as the "Spider-Girls" series, so it is hard to decide which is better. I guess that I'm leaning towards "Spider-Force" because it has an awesome title, and it features

This collection grabs six issues, two three-issue miniseries spin-offs from the Spider-Geddon event. They are radically different in tone - while Jody Houser's "Spider Girls" is a sweet and heartwarming finale to her "Renew Your Vows" run (and serves as a nice sequel to the fan favorite Spider-Girl series), Christopher Priest's "Spider-Force" is a dark, grim dystopian survival fight - but Priest infuses two of his central characters, Ashley from Old Man Logan, and Spider-Kid (a new version of Pe...

Three nonsensical issues and three absolutely gorgeous and pretty solidly written issues.World: I’ve never seen Andres Genolet’s art before but after his Spider Girls run I will pay attention to his art, it’s gorgeous. The characters are full of personality and the line work is simple and beautiful, stunningly good. He needs to draw Spider-Gwen or Ms. Marvel or even West Coast Avengers! The Spider Force issues on the other hand were messy, hard to follow and very scratchy. The world building her...

Though these are side stories that absolutely don't make sense without the main Spider-Geddon story line, I think they add a different element than the rest (like the story line with Spider-Gwen as well). I enjoyed meeting Spider-Girls, and spider people in space are also fun. These are the people working behind the scenes to bring down the Inheritors, which means we get to learn more things about their history. Overall, Spider-Geddon is a fun addition to the Spider-Verse, maybe leading to more

The first series is bad. Painfully bad. But Spider-Girls win this tpb!

This collects two different parts of the Spider-Geddon event. In the first part, "Spider-Force," a team of spiders is sent to an irradiated Earth to recover the crystal that houses the soul of Solus, the big-time Inheritor whose reincarnation will spell the doom of all spider-folk. In the second part, "Spider-Girls," we meet Annie May Parker, aka Spiderling, who has an unusually strong connection to the web of life, which may allow her to figure out some kind of solution to the Inheritor threat

Two miniseries tied to the Spider-Geddon event, neither of which are great. Spider Girls at least has a clear story and some fun new characters. Spider Force, on the other hand, is kind of a muddled mess, trying to cram way too much into three issues without any sort of clarity of purpose.

Mayday Parker was my favorite character growing up and I will read any comic she’s in (I’m so happy she’s back even if MC2 as a whole isn’t) and I definitely enjoyed Spider-Girls! Anya is always great and Annie is new to me but I already like her.Spider-force however… I feel like there wasn’t a need for Charlie story wise, they never really even tell him why they grabbed him out of a whole spider-universe. I feel like he would be an interesting character in a different spider-verse story but rea...

The "Spider-Geddon" story, in general, was not one that I loved. While it was entertaining to see so many different iterations of "Spider-Man," the plot of spider-life-eating vampires is a little too far out there for me. That said... I did still enjoy all the different Spiders, and going on some added adventures with them in this volume was fun. The best part, though, was definitely the Parker family from the "Renew Your Vows" universe. I love the dynamics there and I adore Annie. This collecti...

Getting to explore the various differences between the Spider army in this Spider-Geddon tie in was a breath of fresh air. From the deadly, hopeless situation Kaine, Jessica Drew and other Spiders find themselves in when facing the wrath of an Inheritor, to the more hopeful and emotional struggle of Anya, May and a new Spider hero who may hold the key to stopping the Inheritors once and for all, this story has many twists and turns that will both shock and excite longtime fans of the Spider-Man

As far as mega-event companion books go, this compilation of Spider-Force and Spider-Girls was a pretty decent one. It's two solid enough side adventures related to the larger event and helped to provide needed screen time for various Spider characters brought into this event but didn't get as much of a focus in the main event story.
