A great look at how a good-hearted kid with incredible power might let off some steam"and how that can easily come back to bite him. Read Full Review

Oscar Bazaldua is very smooth with the character's framing, detail, and look throughout this issue. The intensity of Black Cat and devil may care attitude of Hammer Head juxtaposed with Ganke's obliviousness at reading the room and Miles' frustration told an incredible story visually for Bendis this issue.

This book is far from bad. Hell, the art in this book is good enough to entertain any reader. However, this is a set up issue and those are rarely very exciting. However, this issue will hopefully pay off in the next few issues. However, I have begun to wonder whether the many crossovers that this book has been involved in have finally taken a huge toll on this book. This is the 16th issue of this series and only 8 of those issues haven't been involved in a crossover. Read Full Review

Newcomer artist Oscar Bazaldua and colorist Justin Ponsor's artwork is dazzling enough to barely cover over a threadbare script that bounces from scene to scene with little rhyme or reason. There's promise of interesting story to tell down the line, but this series can't withstand too much more filler, especially after having event titles dominate over half of its published issues. It's time for Bendis to prove he's has a story worth telling with Miles, enough for him to fight to retain control over his character. Read Full Review

I really love this series. Miles is definitely his own character and nothing like Peter. I could watch Miles talk to his mom for days. This issue had a few plot points to follow including the Black Cat, Miles Mom, Ganke's relationship with Danika (I do not trust her) that will obviously show where the book is heading but, this was a great issue and the art was fantastic.

Nice bar fight!

A lot of this issue is spent with how the new of Miles being Spider-Man has affected his mom, which is a good thing. There is a lot of character built for someone that should be an important part of Miles life as a hero. Seeing Black Cat return is great since her appearance in this series before did not reach its full potential.

Miles does some honest humble web-slinging while Black Cat stirs up real trouble. You can't expect the glacial, crossover-plagued pace of this title to turn around overnight, and so this issue doesn't score very high on dramatic events. It's a step in the right direction, though. It's laying solid groundwork that could turn into something great. It's also nice to see a hero get back to simple street-level crime fighting, which is cathartic for both readers and Miles (until he goes too far). New artist Oscar Bazaldua provides decent linework and colorist Justin Ponsor does a terrific job of melding it into the title's world with some beautiful and consistent colors.

Good issue, with Bazaldua doing a pretty good job with pencils (though the Pat Brown cover is not at all to my liking). I like the character moments, but Black Cat continues to be underwhelming as the crime boss of NYC.
