Cool cover, i love it!!! Awesome art by John Romita, capturing in great dynamic panels the agility, swiftness and dexterity of Spider-Man. I think he has been the best artist doing it so far.

Dr. Octopus is a great character and one of the best Spider-Man enemies so far. He is also a scientist, intelligent and is neck to neck with Spider-Man at trash talking and cheating.

The story of this arc is interesting and funny, but without any highlighting moments. The incoherence on Nullifier effects of some mechanical stuff and causing amnesia, detracts from the final rate.

In favor of the marvel interconnected universe, i liked how they included the reference to Iron Man situation on his series to explain his absence.
