Some clever beats with the Absorbing Man, otherwise reads like mediocre fan fiction. Some really poor artwork as well - especially on the heels of Terry Dodson and Frank Cho in the previous collections.

"It isnt the worst story but "Virtue" is a complete copy of Superman."Art: 5/10Story 5/10
This was fine. It seemed like a decent first chapter for a Spider-Man story, but I'm not sure it ever continued.
Why exactly is Peter so grouchy in the beginning of this comic? He lives in the Avengers Tower and gets all surly and sarcastic when he comes home and finds his family talking to the Avengers? That whole part of it including Wolverine accidentally stabbing him all felt kind of slapped together. The rest of it was pretty good.What would you get if Superman had been raised by self-righteous hillbillies? And his dad was really a shape-shift alien who left hypnotic commands to enslave the human race...
A weird end to the Marvel Knights Spider-man series, especially since there's a different author. It almost felt like there was too much going on here--but maybe that was necessary to creat a bridge? Overall, not my favorite writing or art.
I gave the third book in this series a three as well, but I'd call that one a strong three where this one is a weak three. It's not bad, but neither the writing or art is as good a the earlier three volumes. The cover makes this look like the plot is going to center around MJ getting with Wolverine for some reason, but really he flirts with her once, it causes some drama and isn't that important of a plot point. Most of the action revolves around Absorbing Man and a Superman knock-off.
A fun poke at Superman in this collection.
The second volume and a new story arc before they merged them all with Spider-Man: Other. It's ok - a Marvel (piss)take on the Superman story but it has some nice moments. I quite like the Absorbing man as a villain.
And we finally reach the fourth and last volume of the Marvel Knights Spider-Man run and we encounter...a change in author. And throw in a longer story arc tied to a largely non-Spider-Man villain like Absorbing Man and the end result is a weird story with a strange Superman analog character thrown in to boot.
