Spider-Man: The Cosmic Adventures is concerned with one question and one question only: if great responsibility comes with great power, what comes with unlimited power?
A cabal of villains consisting of Dr. Doom, Magneto, Kingpin and The Wizard decides to send “new” rogues galleries to unsuspecting heroes, including Spider-Man, who has to fight, among others, Titiana, Graviton and the Grimm Brothers. An experiment gone awry gives Spider-Man unlimited power, but why and how is only sparsely explained in the final ten pages.
I liked the art, especially the inking by Todd McFarlane, and the basics of the story and premise - what can Spider-Man do now and why are these villains hunting him - but the execution of the storyline is lacking and a significant portion of its resolution comes from one page of exposition dumped on the reader at the end. I give it 4/5 stars because of its basics, but could have easily given it 3/5 as well. This is not your typical friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man!

I like the Amazing Spider-Man issues, but the other Spider-Man titles don't have the same quality of artwork, and Gerry Conway's scripts for those books seem a little too 1970s to belong in comics from this period.

This wasn't good. A chore to read with nothing exciting happening in it.

Spider-Man with almost god-like powers. That is just stupid. And wrong.

Too much narrative. I don't need spidey to tell me what everyone is doing when I can see it for myself. Also, Strangely devoid of smart aleky comments...
