HERE COMES HIGHTAIL! Miles Morales and his family have moved to a new not-so-friendly neighborhood - for the likes of Spider-Man, that is. NYC's hero-squashing Cape Killers' latest member won't let Miles catch his breath. It's only a matter of time before hyper-speedster HIGHTAIL gets ahead of the wall-crawler. But Hightail's attack is just the tip of the iceberg, because her powers are about to unleash something much more sinister upon the streets of New York!

Pratim and Sabbatini deliver great art in the issue and there is a fun and lively visual vibe to the issue. Read Full Review
While it's nice to read about Miles' life between big showdowns, the sequences seen in this month's issue might be better served by better pacing between issues, rather than packing so much of Miles' more mundane life into a single shot. Read Full Review
My usual line on this volume is that it's speedy but simple. This issue definitely has its fast moments, but it packs an impressive amount of content. It's a whirlwind of new supporting characters, and Miles gets a memorable, distinct interaction with each of them.
Of course, it still looks frenetic and dynamic in the action moments. Partha Pratim slides into the art team smoothly, living up to the pace while putting his own spin on the characters. (Plus, it appears adding a little pigeon-to-the-face slapstick is what it takes to make me love this busy art.)
This was a really solid issue. It wasn't the best of the series or anything, but it was still good. I really enjoyed the session with Miles and Samson, as I thought it was particularly well-written. Everything else here was nice as well. I'm interested to see more of Hightail, as I think she has potential to be a really good character. I will say that I am missing Federico Vicentini on the art.
Some of the character work is decent, but it felt a little stale.
