4.0

With crossovers gone this series gets back to what made it great.

Miguel starts off doing his superheroing business. BUT soon after he's hunted by the sister of the psycho cowboy that came after him at the start of the series. Also add in his brother's girlfriend getting mixed up in all this with her own weapon things get even crazier. Oh, and if that's not crazy enough Miguel finds out the truth about his father, which throws him into a spin. We then have Miguel trying to find himself, visiting old girlfriends, and trying to rediscover what makes it all worth it. Fighting a psycho chucky like Spider-Man mixed with venom type attacks. Working with the future Dr. Strange. So many fun tales.

We also get at the end short little 5-7 page stories of Miguel as a kid I really enjoyed as well.

The art does change, and it takes a bit to get used to, but I still enjoyed it overall. Especially the fight scenes still hit hard, and can be brutal. Though Miguel's mom's design almost completely changes to short and overweight to skinny as a stick haha.

Overall great stuff though. Spider-Man 2099 is becoming a favorite of mine. A 4 out of 5.
