james_desantis 's review for:
I want to give this a 4 cause there's moments I really enjoyed. I love Miles. I think he's awesome and he comes into his own as these stories progress. I love the fact Spider-man NAME can be passed down to others and still hold up the same values. That was the biggest thing for me in heroes realm. That the "suit" and the "name" can be ANYONE who holds the same values. I know for some that's insane. It's the person behind the mask! However I always felt anyone can be a hero if you give them a chance and it works here pretty well.
The first half of this book, or least 1/3rd, is a crossover event with the Ultimates. I guess something big happened (stopped keeping up with Ultimate universe awhile before this) and Cap is now president. So he tells Miles he can't be Spider-man. However Miles joins and they fight Hydra for world domination. 2/3rd of the book is Venom war where Venom thinks he knows who the new Spider-man is and goes hunting. The last portion is about Miles not being Spider-man anymore and doing a retelling of the "No More".
What I liked: The Venom War event was good, though I had issues with Venom himself. However the events that happened and especially a death really hit hard. It was to build up Miles and give him more to deal with. I also like the last portion quite a bit. Watching Miles a year older is a lot better and I can see him dealing with teenage years + life in a lot of tough ways. Also Cloak and Dagger are boss. Oh and I have huge crush on Spider-women and Jessica Drew in Ultimate Universe is soooo hot <3
What I didn't like: The first arc felt like a wacky confusing crossover that did Miles no justice. The moment with caps felt rushed and not fun at all. Then venom war arc was good but the idea behind why Venom is here is left...unexplained. He just returns. Like wtf? Also I feel like Bendis didn't know what to do with Gwen here so she's just...here. Shame cause loved her in the original run.
I still think Miles is great, and moments here are wonderful, but it's uneven like volume 1 which felt was a lot better in flow. Still, very much worth reading. Especially if you're watching Homecoming this weekend you should check this out to get more High School fun times!
