Dunno, but if it doesn't, it's gonna be weird releasing SoNO first and two weeks later #49.
Per the solocit, is in that issue that "The Order of the Wev is born", but we saw the order being formed this issue, so I dunno.
Had to reread this again I enjoyed it so much. What a great build up to #850. What a great way to add something new to the age old Peter/Norman conflict. What a great way to naturally give us a situation where it seems there’s no right way, no right way to win.
The way we view Norman through all the other characters is fantastic. It makes me wonder if we were meant to see a “sane” Norman here or if the original plan was for Norman to be locked up.
I hope next issue just shows us WHY Peter is the best. And I hope he proves it. A story about responsibility at its finest.
There's something fitting to me

About the Order of the Web's role in this story basically being, more or less, to make things even more difficult for Peter.
I would highly recommend it. It's a really interesting and great distillation of Spider-Man's story if he'd aged in real time.
That said, this issue was also great, and I utterly loved the moral dilemma presented here with the longstanding blood feud between Peter and Norman. Is what Sin-Eater is doing to all those criminals and villains right? Probably not. Are they less of a threat to innocent people because of what he did? For now, yes. To wit, should Peter leave Norman to Sin-Eater to neutralize him, knowing full well that Norman will otherwise go on to end and/or ruin more innocent lives in his never-ending quest to attain more power for himself and inflict more suffering on Peter? That's definitely a doozy.

I do wonder who Norman is going to kill next thats significant to Peter cause they picture Aunt May and MJ

Doesn't have to be either of them, though Norman did try both in the past if you go by Marvel Knights: Spider-Man #1-12. Also, as Go Down Swinging showed at the end, Osborn could kill some random person on the street for the pure, undiluted hell of it and Peter would still take it personally, because he actually gives a damn about people's lives in general, not just the lives of those closest to him.
Exactly.

Miles's book is four months behind where it should be.

Only two months behind. Which means two more issues of Miles Morales should've been out before this issue of ASM. And I bet he gets his full memory restored in those issues.

What an issue this was. Loved everything about it, specially Peter's talk with Gwen.
ASM #850 has everything to be one for the ages!
