I couldn't get into the storyline. All of the half-animal/half-human characters were a little too much. The art completely changes in one issue, which was a little odd, but overall the art is good. ( )

A nicely-done Spider-Man graphic novel in which a mysterious force begins to "devolve" the city's inhabitants, with especially strong effects on those with powers derived from animals. Thus, Spider-Man and others fall prey to rising feelings of feral rage and brutishness, and Spider-Man turns to Madame Web, Reed Richards and others for help in finding and combatting the menace. Nice interaction between the characters, but the main plot itself falls a little flat at the end. Artwork by Angel Medina is decent, but unremarkable. ( )
