• The future looks bleak as Spidey uncovers the truth about those responsible for destroying his home time period of 2099.

Rated T
After some juggle the deadly virus canister and Tempest makes a reappearance, Stone gets the canister back into his hands once again. Whats happens next is too good to ruin but makes for a heck of an ending and cliffhanger. The action doesn't look like it's going to slow down in this series folks. Spider-Man 2099 #23 gets a four out of five stars and five out of five web sling shots. Thwip!! Read Full Review
The ending is great, but the path the book takes to get us there is painfully bland. Read Full Review
Miguel's jump to 2019 to stop the Fist devolves into a 12 Monkeys situation. Peter David engineered the fast pace of the fight by stuffing the first half of this issue with total nonsense. The stupid Pokemon Go knockoff has a slightly-subtle role to play, but it's introduced in a terribly ham-handed fashion. On the art side, I've figured out my antipathy to Will Sliney's work. He follows a very 90s value system that deifies the killer character-centric splash page at the expense of dynamic motion, natural blocking, and realism. I can respect the effort he lavishes on detail but I'm never gonna go ga-ga for the stiff, artificial results.
