Miles Morales: Spider-Man #4 might be the platonic ideal of the perfect Spider-Man comic. It features a charismatic villain who has set his sights on our hero, a crew of compelling supporting characters for Spidey to bounce off of in his secret identity, a love interest, New York City as a backdrop, comedy galore, and lots of web-slinging action. Best of all, its a done in one story, rather than the continuation of an arc. Read Full Review
Later, the gang heads to the movies where Ganke is the one that ruins the mood between Miles and Barbara when he shoots Miles a text giving him a heads up that Vice Principal Lyle is out looking for him. Which seems like a lot of time has passed since Vice Principal Lyle banging at the door to now. The gang quickly and successfully beats Vice Principal Lyle back to school. That night, we see Miles in bed writing to his journal about a wonderful day he had all right before realizing that now he may actually be sick. Read Full Review
If you want a good Miles Morales run, this is your must-read series. Read Full Review
I'm already loving Ahmed'stake on the character. It feels more personal and like a character breakdown, defining who Miles as a person and Spider-man. One thing that I would love to see is more original villains for Miles, rather than the usual Spider-man rogue gallery and the cheap c-listers he encounters. However, it's still early in a run that is already doing such a great job with fun art and great characters. Read Full Review
Miles Morales takes a break from superheroing to ditch class and hang out with his friends. While Miles tries to have a good time, Vice Principal Dutcher is determined to prove Miles is a slacker that has everyone at the school fooled. So far Miles has been able to balance his education, social life, and super hero exploits. The problem is that however, more and more people are onto the fact that Miles is hiding a spider-secret.

This issue is more of a one-off story, but that's OK with a book like this. Read Full Review
A fun send up of Ferris Bueller mixed with classic Spidey antics, and nicely polished and modern artwork make "Miles Morales: Spider-Man" #4 a delightful read for fans of any age looking to take a break with a comic book. Read Full Review
Miles Morales: Spider-Man #4 delivers the sort of quirky, "marches to a different drummer" one-off that's all too rare in modern Marvel comics. It's not a Very Special Issue, a chapter in an Epic Saga, or a tormented character study. It's a flavourful, scene-setting romp that breathes more life than ever before into Miles's school and its students. This is the sort of texture and charm that are vital to building a long-running series. Here's hoping that's exactly what this volume turns into! Read Full Review
Miles Morales: Spider-Man #4 was a fun and casual read. It may have been setting up for something bigger, or it may simply have been showing us the improvement in Miles' balancing act. Regardless, it was funny and had dozens of interesting moments in it. Read Full Review
Outstanding done-in-one issue! Felt like there were a few homages to Ferris Bueller or a damn good coincidence. Regardless, this was a fun read!
Very nice comic. I always liked when Bendis did these small character-based stories and I'm glad that Ahmed is no different. Vice principal is a great J.J. Jameson for Miles that still feels enough different.
As a life long fan of, "Farris Beuller's Day Off" this one-off homage did not disappoint and in fact exceeded my expectations. Only four issues in this new series and so far I can't see Saladin or Javier doing Miles wrong in any way, shape or form. No doubt I'm with them for the long haul.
Great kinda day off for Miles. I loved reading these for Peter way back when. It works well here! Javier Garron and Curiel are as strong as usual! Was hard to follow the full page/splash museum-biking sequence but other than that, great job!!
After the third issue I expected to see a new arc beggin in this issue. One that will help me decide if I like or not Ahmad. But this is a transitional issue. A very good one.
Cover - When I see the solicitation I trust it was a goon. Not a vice Principal ^^
I continue to don't like the cover artist. Seriously why Garron don't do it ?
Related ! 1/2
Story - It was fun. Not really important. Not really interesting. But fresh. And he make me smile. But seriously he cannot give us better that Frost Pharao ? 2.5/3
Arts - Love the layout and panel. But what make my heart explode was the splash page's map with the character draw super-deformed. 3/3
Feeling - When he want Ahmed can win me. 2/2
This was a fun little one-shot.
Cute issue, a little bit inconsequential but I guess it’s nice to have a breather.
