MILES IS THE BEST THERE IS AT WHAT HE DOES...
And in this reality, what he does isn't very nice. What if...Miles was taken from everything he ever knew - his family, his home, his life - and transformed into the most dangerous, immortal weapon of war the world has ever seen? Miles has been made into the Wolverine...but that doesn't mean he has to be what they made him...

Overall, What If Miles Morales #2 is a relevant story that adds a great chapter to this series. The story by Ridley is masterful. The art by the creative team is awesome. Altogether, a story which simply astounds. Read Full Review
Miles Morales as Wolverine is a tragic turn, which makes sense given how empowered he is by his family. It's a lighter on story sort of comic, however, one that's more about the action and reveals who the characters are in the universe than anything else. Read Full Review
Miles Morales' connection to the multiverse is beginning to do more harm than good for the character, at least when it comes to comic books where he was born. Intriguing concepts and well-done art are on display within this book but the overall concept leaves a bit to be desired as this series continues. Read Full Review
Nothing about this comic book is inherently poorly assembled. Ridley does well with introducing a new version of a familiar character in the space given, and the visuals are strong. What if Miles Morales became Wolverine?, however, is not enough of a frequently asked question to warrant a book. Marvel continues to struggle in justifying shoehorning a version of Spider-Man, its signature character, into other heroes suits. Read Full Review
At this point it seems like I have seen this exact same storyline play out with the XMen dozens of times although that might just be watching Days of Future Past in the last few years. If you are not tired of the storyline it would be more highly recommended. Read Full Review
Farid Karami is given a lot of room to work into the action beats and the new designs of these alternative characters, including naturally other X-Men favorites, but there's sadly little of interest on this bone until the final page's surprise. Read Full Review
It's a simple, basic story, but one executed with thorough skill. The art is nice, and the script has a solid structure. All the main characters share a consistent (although, again, basic) theme about losing one's family, but there's some subtlety in the way each one relates to it a little differently.
The prose is a little clunky and the beginning is long-winded. And there's even an embarrassing proofreading error at the start of act 2.
I'm going to give this a little higher than a should. The story's pretty uneventful but, there was some charm to it in certain parts and the art was pretty good.
ehhhh. It's fine to be honest.
4 claws? Are you serious?
I dunno, it was very short and there was nothing interesting. The same old uncle Aaron enemy thing (but there's also his dad a "villain", huh), the same stupid easter eggs... I really don't understand what is the target audience of this series. I mean, I read Miles Morales comics and they were good! They were really good, especially his first ongoing series. But this is just bullshit. I can't find a reason to recommend this to anyone. Maybe for the art only, because it's good. But everything else is either stupid, or wasn't even in the comic. I mean, Cap's what_if was quite long and had enough information about the origin of Miles and the world he lived. But this exact issue has almost no sense. There w more
