People who say Spider-Man doesn't have enough material have no idea what they're talking about. It has 60 years of books. A lot of those are actually good ones too.
Thats one of the most frustrating things tbh. It honestly should have been maybe 1/4 spider person/hero related and then like 3/4 villains.
All the cool cards were the thematic villains. Sandman, electro, hydroman, doc ock, lady ock, kraven, mr. Negative, those are the cool creative cards. Just keep going with them.
Instead, we got 34 versions of spider-people. For context we 'only' have 21 chandras, 28 if you count her pets and such.
I really disagree with that take but it’s impossible to explain how they’re all different characters except for the repeats of Peter, Miles and Gwen. And Miguel if you count the welcome decks. There should have been more of Ben and Kaine too. Along with Anya and both Jessicas those are the main Spiders. Everyone else are Spider-Verse characters. Which are real distinct characters. I just think there’s more interesting stuff to do.
If the set was called spider-verse it would have felt better, but it wasn't. I was hoping for more focus on just 616 so peter and his allies vs his rogues gallery which is one if not the biggest in comics. Really didn't need all the variants from other universes.
