The opening scene with Miles and his Uncle was a nice touch. Afterwards however, Miles is kidnapped by an infinity stone carrier. He is tortured and drug through all kinds of crazy tests. It was dope seeing who had to team up to go find him. Later, Miles gets bum rushed by a couple of characters. One says they know him so they let him go and dip off. But reveal of this character at the end definitely has me intrigued.

Miles has a hard life, but it gets jaw-droppingly harder in this Volume. Taking the 'ups' into account: his uncle has basically given up a life of crime as The Prowler, and his mom is pregnant, making Miles a big brother for the first time... but... when you factor in the downs: getting abducted by an organization that wants to do nothing but experiment on him, torture him, and gather data on him, by threatening his friends and family? Seriously, Miles needs a break...... and he gets one, but it...

This was intense. At least for Miles Morales. He's quite literally tortured before having an existential crisis that has him asking himself questions about his role as Spider-Man and his purpose in life. And then there's also the love interest that's further explored through an odd character, who also gets her origin story here. While it's not bad in general, it does feel sloppy in its execution in the end.Yours truly,Lashaan | Blogger and Book ReviewerOfficial blog: https://bookidote.com/

That was weird and random. Not a cohesive story at all, just some... stuff.

In the lead story Miles is kidnapped and tortured by an A.I. called the Assessor. Miles is traumatized and to be honest a lot of it was painful to read. Then some old foes return. Somehow the Green Goblin from the Ultimate universe appears along with the main villain from Spider-Men II, a comic I'd purposely tried to forget. There also a short Starling origin story along with Peter and Miles arguing over the best pizza in the five boroughs. It's a really short arc at only 4 issues and feels unfi...

I gave this 4 stars as ultimately I enjoyed reading it a lot (and I tend to be generous with my star ratings) but I found Miles' sudden kidnapping and experimentation quite an abrupt departure from the more relationship-focused stuff that came before it and it gave me a bit of tonal whiplash. Also the montage of Awful Things Happening to Miles didn't really convey the impact that the prolonged torture and experimentation would have had on him in a way that felt realistic. It was just like "okay,...

Another really good volume of Miles Morales. It's all about family and there are a few big developments in Miles' own 'fam' (is that a new slang abbreviation? I don't remember seeing it before. Mind you, I don't remember what I had for breakfast, so that's not saying much).I absolutely loved the one-two punch of issues eight and nine; I can't wait to see more of this new threat going forward. The reintroduction of some elements from Miles' pre-616 past in issue ten are intriguing, although part

A tele-porter who is also violent kidnapper and prisoner guard, then there's The Assessor overseeing all; and Miles Morales? - battered, unmasked and completely compromised! How in the world is he going to get out of this one? The big shoes hoping to be filled on this book, belonged to Brian Michael Bendis's, and Saladin Ahmed is doing a pretty solid job, despite the awful renditions of the Latino cast by the artists! 7 out of 12The next major arc starts with a 32-pager at the end of this volume...

A disjointed follow-up to Saladin Ahmed's decent first take on Mile Morales. The art is all over the place, the faces in particular looking quite bad. Miles is kidnapped by The Assessor, (possibly) an AI judging his superhuman abilities. That plotline abruptly ends with the introduction of Ultimatum - another Mile Morales, this one villainous. Neither plotline seems particularly interesting. Hopefully the next volume is longer and bothers to tell a coherent story.

Short review: The magic continues!I thought Ahmed and team had knocked it out of the park with the first storyline but maaaan, they took it up even more notches with this one and I have nothing to say that can't spoil this book - just go read it. Please. It is gorgeous.If you love Spiderman and/or Miles Morales or just a really well crafted story, go read this book!

Bring On The Bad Guys is a little misleading - this volume pits Miles against a faceless villain who manages to warp his mind and body in a surprisingly heartwrenching few issues that require his father and his uncle to suit back up to try and free him. The art in these issues really sells the harrowing experience that poor Miles goes through, with some excellent use of blank space, a real testament to the old 'less is more' deal.The oversized issue #10 (which is also issue...250? 300? I don't r...

I think Ahmed might actually be better suited to writing about Miles than BMB himself. This arc actually gave me a lump in the throat a couple of times (Miles' father and uncle reuniting, Miles' birthday). We also finally find out why Miles has his mother's last name (Miles' grandfather wasn't a very nice man, and also, if he had his father's last name, he'd be Miles Davis). The Assessor storyline was appropriately sinister (and depressing) and I imagine its effects will come back in some way in...

A bit to reliant on cameos and crossovers. Miles Morales feels truly takes a back set in his own comic book series. Fans of Into the Spiderverse will find that this rendition of Morales is disappointing at best.

For all that it works as a teen superhero adventure (complete with hilarious lampshading of a birthday where somehow we never quite find out how old the birthday boy is), this is quite a knotty read too. Some of that comes with the arrival of the Ultimate Green Goblin and his associate, reopening the mysteries in which previous writers tangled Miles without ever fully resolving them - does he remember that the world where he lived wasn't always the world he was from? And part of it, alas rather

Ahmed gets miles voice 100% This story is basically about Miles getting kidnapped and tortured. And it sounds super bleak, but it somehow keeps up with hope. While that's happening, his father and uncle and mother must work together to rescue him. On top of that Green Goblin from the ultimate universe is here! What is happening? Oh yeah and it is Miles birthday too! This is a jammed pack volume with a lot of wonderful family interactions. I loved Miles with his family and friends. I thought him

Although I have enjoyed what co-creator Brian Michael Bendis has done with Miles Morales, it’s what came after Bendis where the character has truly shined from the cinematic masterpiece Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse to the current comic book run by Saladin Ahmed and Javier Garrón. Based on the first volume, Ahmed and Garrón makes Miles their own, as along with aging him up and has dialogue that feels true to his heritage, he has his own personal issues that are different from what Nick Spenc...

This one was quite too!Here we have Spider-man teaming up with hs uncle and I love seeing the family moments between the two and how one is on the path of redemption but then comes the big emotional story when Miles is kidnapped by a guy called Quantum and taken to some place where another guy called the Assessor experiments on him like brutal ones, testing him and its upto his father and his uncle to rescue him and when they do..its so emotional and it makes you sad for him and he goes into PTS...

Enjoyable but I wish this had come with a trigger warning. The first story with Miles's uncle was interesting, and I enjoyed Miles's team up with a female super I'm not familiar with. What comes next is intense and reminded me of watching Jadon Smith get pummeled in the most recent version of The Karate Kid (y'know, the one with Jackie Chan as Mr. M.) I had a hard time recovering from that issue / storyline. Finally, the art is a mixed bag. People seem to draw Miles VERY differently, the attempt...

More great adventures with Miles as Spidey. I get a big kick out of this character and I'm so glad I got introduced to him in the Spiderverse movie. This is a diverting collection of one-offs mostly. In one story Miles gets kidnapped and tortured by a weird, powerful organization... I presume there will be some sort of payoff down the line. I really hope my library carries that one! That really seems like the kind of thing where should put out an all-points-bulletin to all the other supers in th...
