Blade seems like a "big brother figure to Miles, and was teaching him the ways on how to defeat the vampires. Blade then says that Miles must understand the perspective, and bites him. I was so surprised about this, but I also understood as to why he did it. Miles seems to transform immediately, and now he really understands. I love that Blade shows up in this issue, it's refreshing to see other characters that want to help Miles. Read Full Review

Ultimately, Miles Morales: Spider-Man #21 is a bit of a mixed bag. It features some great artwork and a struggle for Miles' soul, but I'm not sure if it's telling the right story. But then again, the next issue could be an improvement. Read Full Review

There's some interesting storylines to follow in Blood Hunt and Miles is involved in one of the more important ones. Read Full Review

Cody Ziglar's writing is top-notch as always, weaving together multiple plot threads and character arcs that span developments from the main Blood Hunt line and Miles' own ongoing. We see a mix of Miles navigating his personal life and Spider-Man responsibilities all while dealing with the fallout of being backstabbed (backbit?) but Blade & becoming a vampire. I wish we got to see more of Miles & Brielle interacting, but that is likely going to happen in the event's main story. Even when slightly hamstrung by the constraints of an event, Ziglar's dialogue is snappy and authentic, as he also showed when having to divert the plot for the recent Gang War event.

Brent Peeples and Daniel Picciotto's guest artwork is dynamic and expressive, bringing the world of the living dead to vivid life. The action scenes are intense and kinetic, especially when Miles and Blade clash swords and then again when Miles and Hightail try to keep R’ym’r from being resurrected. The final panel, a full double-splash page, is worth the price of the comic itselfs.

Bryan Valenza's colors are a perfect complement to the art, adding depth and energy to every panel. Cory Petit's lettering styles add even more layers to the book and allows readers to keep up with all the dialogue.

Meh. It’s primarily just a tie in.

Generic tie in. I did like the artist on this one.
