Being a massive fan of Spiderman, both Peter and Miles, I was so reading to get into this story. I was surprised to find that this is more Miles Morales than Spiderman, but it didn't bother me. I love seeing Miles juggling his home and superhero life and seeing both of those lives influence each other.

There are some real issues that come up in this book: racism, prejudice, trying to succeed and become more than what you're expected to be, only to have someone push you down. The villain's plot is actually quite devious and it wouldn't surprise me if this often happened in the real world. Sadly, it probably happens everyday.

While I loved a lot of aspects of the book, the weakest would probably be its villain. He's kind of just your regular racist old white man. I mean, yeah, racism=bad, but can't we get a little more than that? A backstory? Some answer as to how he can do what he does? He just lacked some serious development which could have happened if some unnecessary stuff was cut out (i.e. the cousin subplot that goes nowhere, subway dance battles)

Other than that, it was enjoyable. I would definitely pick up a sequel if Reynolds decides to have another go with Miles.
