Eh, like I said, it's got an ok ending and a good twist with the scion, but really it's just a killathon and most of the issues spend a great deal playing "attack/retreat/attack/retreat" again and again. Peter is upstaged a lot by Doc Ock (Ock even gives Uncle Ben a motivational speech) and seems generally ineffective right up until the end, the designations for the various Earths got muddled up thanks to editorial, Ultimate Peter didn't show up, and you could have told the story in half the time.
The best stuff to come out of it was Spider-Gwen (which was initially good, but is a terrible and overrated book now), the Web Warriors ongoing the following year (a fun and lively book which legitimately handles Spider-Gwen far better), the short stories by Conway and Stern, the little dig taken at the (underrated) ASM newspaper strip, the introduction to the Spider-Man of Renew Your Vows, and the idea that the version of Mayday affected by the event was'nt the real one. Most of that wasn't even in the main story or by Slott with the exception of a couple of things.
I don't like the Ultimate Spidey cartoon all that much, but it's version of Spider-Verse was more entertaining.
