Overall Miles Morales: Spider-Man #38 is a good start to a new multiverse story for Miles to resolve. Playing into Miles' family and familiar faces, it's a fun What If... style story that should entertain longtime fans as well as mix it up enough for casual readers to want to see what happens next.

Another month brings another issue of Miles Morales's adventures centered around the multiverse and clones and his uncle and a handful of things that have come to seemingly define the character too much in comics these days. On the surface, this dark reality has some intriguing characters and concepts at play but at this point feels too much like been there done that. Read Full Review
Feeling like an 8 might be a little high bit, it was very entertaining. It had good action, somw good moments. Please keep Shift.
It's another fairly speedy installment. The plot remains rational and the character voices are still excellent. The art is, on balance, good, though the shift between artists is a little jarring.
As a crusty ol' geezer, I don't see much novel or ground-breaking in this particular rendition of "visit a dystopian future-AU and help overthrow the evil dictator". But I didn't see anything about this plot that was particularly problematic, either; it's a perfectly valid skeleton to build an adventure on.
