User blog comment:Ultimantium/Why Is Amazing Spider-Man Vol 5 Not part of Spider-Verse?/@comment-37147083-20181009172528

I was wondering about that myself. Amazing Spider-Man vol.5 has nothing to do with Spidergeddon and will apparently have no impact on Spidergeddon. There really is no definitive answer as to why this is, but we can make a few educated guesses. I'm guessing that because ASM has always been Marvel's best seller and the series most likely to attract casual readers who don't necessarily keep up with the state of comics, they aren't doing Spidergeddon tie-ins because they don't want to alienate these casual readers Another guess is that by not doing Spidergeddon tie-ins, Marvel is able to keep more creative teams busy at a given moment. They probably just want a more diverse amount of Spidey stories on the market and don't necessarily want everything tied into Spidergeddon.
