I love these comics re-imagined for middle grade readers! It's a good way to make comics accessible to kids who might otherwise be intimated by the sheer volume of Marvel comics there are out there. Plus, the tone and the storylines fit well for a middle grade audience.

While I didn't necessarily like the villain in this one as much as the first one, we still get that signature Miles energy. He's such a fun character to read, and his family and friends are just as entertaining. The art style also works well for this story, especially the action scenes. So much Spider-Man fun!

I hope this makes it into the hands of young, excited comics readers who will be encouraged to jump into comics in the future!
