Overall, Spider-Man: Exodus #1 is an action packed debut issue that puts the reader in a scary alternate future. The Story by Orlando is exciting. The art by the creative team is beautiful. Altogether, a story that shows the future can be changed. Read Full Review
This issue is almost entirely about Winter Soldier 13, not Spider-Man, but that's totally fine because it rules from start to finish. Read Full Review
Every bit as good as the first issue! Not only keeps the story going but improves upon it in some big ways. We get a breath of fresh air breathed into this story, and that makes all the difference. Strong, deliberate scenes make for a great issue! Read Full Review
After reading Spider-Man 2099: Exodus, you're going to be intrigued by Winter Soldier 2099. She's more complex than you might imagine and Orlando's ability to bring in some cool-sounding techno-jargon along with a slick set of powers and abilities makes her a great addition to the universe.

When all is said and done, Spider-Man 2099: Exodus #1 delivers a great new character to the 2099 'verse, even if it does little for the larger narrative of the series. From what Orlando writes here, I would be interested to see this version of The Winter Soldier back again. Read Full Review
Spider-Man 2099: Exodus #1 is an action-focused book that shows a side of the 2099 universe not often seen. But, one too many one-liners dampens the reading experience a bit. Read Full Review
Spider-Man 2099: Exodus #1 does a fine job of introducing readers to Winter Soldier 2099 and nothing else. The art is good, WS99's design and backstory are cool, and there's plenty of action to hold your attention. However, the plot makes little sense when you pick it apart, and this issue has almost nothing to do with Spider-Man 2099 and his conflict with the Cabal. Read Full Review
WOW, expected a re-boot with Spider 2099 tropes, but got so much more. The story intro of Winter Soldier 2099 is killer with the art to boot. She needs to have her own run. So well done. Will pick up the issues that follow.
Though I usually moan at length when I'm rating a Steve Orlando comic, this one really agreed with me. Here the author's "plot first" approach works well; character and story are scaled to each other and prop each other up. The Winter Soldier's mission makes just enough room for a petite character study, and there's some cool world-building going on too.
Top it off with some solid, gritty art that's perfect for a dystopian future story and you've got something that even I will admit is a pretty good comic.
If I wasn't sucker for 2099 and Miguel O'Hara I'd drop this book right now. I won't but I should. It's readable. It has brief moments of goodness but, it's surrounded by fluff. It reminds of the last 2099 "series" we got where it was just ones shots.
