I skimmed it...just a few pages of tease for each of the books. As Kurolegacy said...the Spidey/Tombstone story line gets set up, Jess in San Fran and her reasons for being there, Peter/Miles team up book, etc...
I would say skip it and save your money for something with more substance.
All I wanted was to be unconditionally loved while never having to work on my flaws. Is that so much to ask?
I'm interested in virtually nothing offered in this anthology.

All the stuff teasing Wells' stuff was yawn inducing. The same Spidey/Tombstone stuff we've been dealing with since the first arc and "woooh! Green Goblin Norman is back and scarier than a demon Goblin!" Blegh.
Miles was probably the most fun one but that's a given.
Jessica deserves better than spotlighting all of Marvel's fake spinoff sidekicks.
So Gwen is stuck in 616 to protect her from some random supernatural threat in Earth-65? Also here's OB for synergy even though he looks nothing like Ke Huy Quan.
It's funny how Maddie was happy to Ben's jailer but now she's "not into that" so she's just letting him go to do whatever. Maddie in Spider-Man books sucks.
It was nice to see Kaine.
Gwen Goblin was cooler and I don't care about the Spider-Society.
Hoping Anya actually gets to be the focus of the Spider-Verse event this go around even if I'm admittedly Spider-Verse'd out. Be nice for her to finally get her flowers in one of these big crossover stories.

That's similar to She-Hulk's origin. Jennifer Walters needed a blood transplant, so they had to find a match. The only one available was her cousin Bruce Banner... and the transfusion of course turned her into another Hulk.

I did notice it said "Earth-65?", with a question mark at the end. So something is going on there.
I think Maddie and Havok were being written out here, so that the X book relaunch writers can do what they like with them, if so the spider office are blameless this time. Chasm needed separating from them.

Im guessing Wells run will end with Peter vs Tombstone not with Green Goblin. Chasm is finally out and its good to see Kaine do something. I am tired of Gwen being different villains also when did Miguel meet Gwen?

I agree we should have more MJ variants, and I do want to see interaction between variants, not a passing conversation. But this could means they still have some plans for her, whether it is going to be good, remains to be seen.
As always ASM was hype but the ending will fall flat, not interested with Ben and Kaine, even though I love these characters. Look like Gwen is getting the Miles treatment, could they thing up something better or different. Love Jessica, I am glad in the few she is not connected what is going on with Spider-Man.

The Spectacular Spider-Men tease was a lot simpler than I was expecting. I guess the patrons and barista on the left will be new additions to the Coffee Bean cast. No idea who they are.

The blind man that stalks Peter and Miles is Libra. He was one of the main antagonists in Weisman's short-lived Starbrand and Nightmask. Maybe he'll continue that plotline in the second story arc.

Meh. Sucks that Ben or Peter couldn't give Maddie a bit of humbling, instead of her letting Chasm go, 'just because'. May she never dawn the Spider books again.
Really like how McGuinness draws Goblin, that cover looks great, also Kaine spoilers:end of spoilers , I have a feeling it will never be acknowledged that Miguel has never actually met all the other Spiders before since he’s not the original Miguel, earth 928/og Miguel might just fade from existence at this point lol
