Reviewed by Martin Liebman February 12, 2020

Sony has released a SteelBook containing four recent films form the 'Spider-Man' universe. For each film, the disc and digital content is identical to that found in the various wide releases. See below for links to each movie included in the set and see the 'Special Features and Extras' section of the review below for more on the SteelBook's look and feel.

Spider-Man: Far From Home / Spider-Man: Homecoming / Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse / Venom Blu-ray Movie, Special Features and Extras 

The SteelBook is of the slick and smooth variety, and with the gray and red intensive backgrounds on the front and rear it will attract and show a good number of fingerprints. That gray background on the front shows both gathered storm clouds and monochromatic city backdrops. The front panel is divided into four wedge-shaped sections, each holding a character. At the top, center, is Venom, tongue waving about and looking ready to pounce on his latest meal. Spider-Man in his most traditionally familiar costume is next; the right arm is extended, swinging across the city, and his head pokes into Venom's space. Next is the Miles Morales Spidey, also slinging through the sky with left hand extended straight outwards. Finally, tucked away in the bottom left corner is black suit "Stealth" Spider-Man, appearing at an angle with right hand extended and London landmarks behind. The rear panel is divided into four equal quadrants, each holding a variation on the Spider-Man logo, save for the top left, which is made of Venom tentacles. The spine maintains the dreary gray cast and features the titles of the four included films in small print. From top to bottom: Far from Home, Homecoming, Into the Spider-Verse, and Venom. A Sony logo has been placed at the bottom.

Inside, the digital copy code floats; there are no left-hand-side tabs (note that the paper may arrive damaged from the hubs). The four Blu-ray discs are spread throughout the inside, each on individual hubs. One disc appears on each side on a hub built into the case while the other two discs appear on either side of a folding leaf in the middle; thankfully there's no disc stacking in this one. The inner print is a two-panel spread that maintains the four-way split theme, depicting the key character from each film. The left panel separates the images in a left-right orientation: Venom on the left and the black suit Spider-Man from Far from Home on the right. The right panel depicts a familiar looking Spider-Man from Homecoming on the top half image and Miles Morales' hooded variant on the bottom.

Spider-Man: Far From Home / Spider-Man: Homecoming / Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse / Venom Blu-ray Movie, Overall Score and Recommendation 

This isn't a bad looking SteelBook. There's not a lot of color outside of the splashes of Spidey red, and its artwork essentially divides amongst the characters, and how they uniquely appear, in each of the four films. Remember this is Blu-ray only but there are individual UHD SteelBooks for all four films (Far from Home, Homecoming, Into the Spider-Verse, Venom). Recommended to collectors for sure but also fans looking to add these four films to their collections; it's a handsome packaging option for anyone, and it's available widely, too.
