The artwork is large, detailed, and really brings out every important aspect of the scene. There hasn’t been a bad artist to illustrate this comic, and right now, Chris Allen’s style is perfect for the universe-traversing journey Miles and Shift are on. Now, Miles is getting to go on his own universe-hopping journey, visiting all sorts of worlds – and building up to a dark “what could have been” universe that ties back to his past arcs.įrankly, I can’t think of a single story arc in “Miles Morales: Spider-Man” that I didn’t like – it’s just been really solid from start to finish. Mistakes were made and consequences were had. It created high tension, a real sense of danger, and tough character decisions. That’s right, they actually had a “Clone Saga” that was good. Basically: there’s good characterization going on.Īnd of course, each of the story arcs this comic has gone through have been great. It helps that each character is absolutely likable in their own way we want to see them succeed, we get invested in their stories, and they all feel multi-faceted and alive. And the fact that his family is aware of his heroics adds another nice level of development and characterization for everyone. We get to see him struggle and grow, both as a person and a hero. While so many superhero comics use the character’s life outside the costume as filler or a B-plot between heroics, “Miles Morales: Spider-Man” really dives into all aspects of Miles’ life, and it’s all the better for it. This is, by all means, a character-driven comic. So now’s a great point to hop in and start reading. He’s met the T’challa of the wild west (as introduced in Exiles, so it’s nice that Saladin is bringing him back in), caught up with Spider-Ham, and even tangled with zombies. Now, we’re right at the start of a new arc, where Miles is going on a universe-hopping journey. This lead to conflicts that draw in and threaten his family, while creating real stakes that don’t have an easy resolution. More recently, he’s had his own “Clone Saga,” which was a significantly better story than the original one (for starters, everyone knew which Miles was real and which ones were clones). Oh, and he’s constantly being observed and tested by this creepy villain called the Assessor, so there’s that too. We’ve seen as he tries to juggle responsibilities, start new relationships, and generally try to do the right thing.
The comic follows Miles as he attempts to balance his super heroics with his personal life and school work. As the name suggests, it’s about… Miles Morales, who is Spider-Man (originally the Ultimate Universe Spider-Man, brought into the main Marvel continuity post-“Secret Wars,” but you already knew that).
