I rate it as good by merit of us having Spidey back proper. I liked Ock, but we all knew this day was coming.

What he did that Ock couldn't, or more precisely wouldn't, was put the lives of others, even people he didn't care about, first. So he saved Miguel when Ock left him to die against Spider-Slayers, he used what he knew about Anna's resourcefulness to save her whilst holding off Osborn and while I admit Osborn's new face was kinda odd, it makes sense. As for Osborn's escape, he ran away, while Peter was being screwed up by the Spider-Jammer.

The goblin nation's defeat I'll grant you seemed to blow over surprisingly quick once Peter dealt with Menace and Osborn, but really, the majority of it was just thugs and Z-List villains, so once the Spider-Slayers were down, it's not really gonna be a challenge for the Avengers, I mean they did deal with Spider-Island in the past.

I won't defend the pacing and honestly, it is the second half, Peter dealing with the fall out of Otto's work that is the better part of this story.
