Miles Morales: Spider-Man #5 concludes an all-time great arc. This is one of the best Spider-Man comics I have read in a long time. Read Full Review

This issue is the epitome of what Superhero comics should be at a base line. Exciting action. great character work, and bombastic art have all fused together to create a hard-hitting debut arc for Cody Ziglar's run on Miles Morales. Read Full Review

Vicentini delivers on every element of the story visually from the blistering and thrilling action to the intense emotion. A glorious looking issue from start to finish. Read Full Review

While their confrontation was definitely filled with intense drama, some of the art was hard to follow at certain points. Read Full Review

It's not perfect but I wish Peter Parker had this level of quality on his books this days.

I was hoping to like this series, but I am delighted to say I love it! Rabble could be an undermotivated villain, but Ziglar made her story affecting enough last issue and in this issue the tragedy of her & Miles fighting over the results of a broken system that neither of them has any control over hits hard enough that I can accept her as close enough for superhero comics. Vicentini's art is apparently not everyone's thing, but I think it's dynamic and exciting. I can't say as I'm excited for the Carnage crossover intruding, but the new setup with Misty Knight is great, taking the vague idea of the mercifully abandoned (rumored) Spy-D direction and making it something really workable. I'm super ready for Detective Miles Morales and excited to see where this is going once the inevitable intrusion of crossovers passes! more

This was a strong way to end the first arc, and I'm glad things ended on a high note. Of course, Vicentini's art is, once again, great and it only added to the story. Speaking of which, the story here fired on all fronts. The battle between Miles and Raneem was pretty fun, and I really enjoyed Miles using a giant electric surge in the end. Plus, if you've read my reviews of the rest of the series thus far, you'll know I'm very glad to see that the mentor-mentee relationship between Miles and Misty Knight is continuing. I'm not sure how I feel about the next story being a crossover with Carnage, but I'm definitely interested, if nothing else.

Good work with Miles as a character and what his family and friends mean to him.

Dug this and dug the villain. Great artowork and visual style.

Miles is still on his feet and is still getting good comics. How it should be.

It's an off-the-shelf resolution: Nemesis threatens hero's family, hero saves them, fights her, wins after some intense moral conversation.

That framework might be familiar, but it's not inherently bad.

And it can produce quite a thrilling read when a comic's creators are as committed as this one's.

The art's furiously dynamic, but it stays just within the bounds of legibility. That makes the visuals a powerful force for heightening tension and keeping the pace up.

The dialogue gets a little verbose (in the intense moral conversation), but for the best possible reason: The author wants to get his characters' feelings out without resorting to cliche or pretension. It's a worthy goal and this script achieves it.

not bad. May need to re-read this arc again to understand it.

5 issues of Miles fighting a teenager who’s angry because he got into college and she didn’t. And for this, she tries to murder his family. I’m serious.

I'm really not liking this flat, heavily shadowed art style that's showing up in Marvel titles lately -- Marauders and Moon Knight being two others. The panels just look like a jumble of black shapes and action lines with no depth whatsoever, and I often find myself having to stare at them to figure out what's happening.

decompression comes for all good comics and Miles Morales is another causality. No reason this story is five issues long. It didn't need to be five issues long. Misty Knight is reaching Glurp levels of insistence.

Man, that was pretty bad.

The art is beautiful but the action is so confusing. I can't understand half the stuff that happens. Geography is never estabilished and you don't even know what is hitting people. Starling uses something we don't even see to cut the drone. We don't even see the girl's body afterwards. Did she died, did she ran away? We don't know.

Also the writing isn't very good. The motivation of the antagonist opens potencial to talk about something, but nothing is actually said. Also, she goes full evil by trying to kill Miles's family for no reason, and Miles STILL tries to say she's not a bad person?! What the hell.

Some last things:

-Miles's dad said because of him his neighbors didn't got hurt, but as far as i noticed he didn't really do anything beyond save his family. Not sure if this was in a previous version of the story that got cut in the final version or what;

-Misty Knight just giving them a new appartment is pretty weird and convenient. If the writer cared about making it so that they still have a house, maybe he shouldn't have decided to blow it up. Would have made Rabble less irredeemable.

-As for the final page...could be interesting. Could be bad as well. Government agends recruiting villains has been done to death already(and literally already done with Scorpion as well), but maybe it will be fine. more
