CONTINUING THE SAGA OF SPIDER-MAN FROM THE BRAND-NEW UNIVERSE!
• The worlds of PETER PARKER and SPIDER-MAN continue to collide - with his beloved AUNT MAY and current crusading Daily Bugle reporter (and former girlfriend) MARY JANE - caught in the middle!
• Teenager MILES MORALES has two heroes - Spider-Man and his police office father, JEFFERSON DAVIS - but how will their chance meeting lead to both triumph and tragedy?
• Plus: Who are the INNER DEMONS, and how is their crime spree connected to the fall of the KINGPIN...and the rise of an even darker foe?
Rated T
This is a good second issue and a great one if you're a Miles Morales fan. It's also starting to become clear the world of the videogame is fleshing out. Spider-Man: City at War feels necessary because of its sharp dialogue and great character writing. Read Full Review
A very well done adaptation of the hit Insomniac Games video game that makes use of an alternative viewpoint to great effect. Read Full Review
Its emotional moments are balanced out with the signature humor of Spider-Man, and it still hits hard even if you know what's coming. Read Full Review
Zeroing in on Miles Morales does wonders for this issue, neatly counteracting the scattershot feel of #1 and giving this one a heavy emotional core. The art still looks great and there's a nice feeling of significant events unfolding behind the story of Miles and his dad. That makes the whole world feel vibrant and alive. Some solid humor in here before the feelings train offloads, too.
On the really important and cool moments of the game a few pages are allocated, the rest of the issue is garbage.
