Review:
This episode gives Bramley a bit of a back-story and sees Spider-Man go toe to toe with The High Evolutionary. I�ll admit to being quite surprised when Bramley turned on Spidey, but there wasn�t enough spark in the rest of the episode, it simply struggled to get out of second gear.

There�s little denying that the characters simply aren�t interesting enough to hold the show together, and given how the main plot of humans vs Beastials is simply a waste of time, the show struggles to do anything worth noting, despite having the odd cool moment.

I�m still in the camp that think the show�s premises was absolutely retarded to begin with, and blame the show�s status on sheer lack of originality. From what I�ve seen online, Michael Reaves isn�t too fond of the show, and Will Meugniot, the show�s producer doesn�t seem to be too impressed with it based on his comments on his site. To see some of his work on the show, check out www.storyboardpro.com, there�s a lot interesting stuff there!

Nothing about the series is standing out, coupled with weak versions of Spider-Man, Venom, Carnage and a host of alternate versions of the villains, the show is probably better left forgotten.
