Upon finishing number one (of two), the immediate question that pops up in my mind is, why isn't this another issue of Edge of Spider-Verse? The premise seems to be basically unchanged. The only thing that changes is the length of the tales, which are shorter, much shorter in some cases. Another question would be, how many copies would Marvel have sold of the longer stories, if stretched to full comic length? In particular, the Penelope part would've been a hard sell, followed closely by "Spider-Fu". Even the most conventionally looking, steampunk comic, looks like a cheap copy of "Spider-Man: Noir". So I guess that's probably the answer to my first question Out of the 31 pages that make up this comic, the only relevant ones are those that take place in Earth-77013. This is the most original Slott I've seen since he created Paper Doll. Really loved the way Marvel allowed the syndicated newspaper comic strip, to stay out of the Spider-Verse event.

Not unlike the first issue, the second one is a collection of variable length stories, of little to no interest. One thing is clear, Marvel editors didn't want any of the reading-order-grief anymore. Some tales are from the past, while the last one takes us to "the end" of the Spider-Verse event, so we can have a glimpse. It's in this part of the comic, that we get a good dialogue between two of the "Peters", the most relevant pages, out of the 29 that makes up this extra.
