Reviews

[Molly™☺ · Rating 3 out of 5]

As with most omnibuses, this one is fairly disjointed as a collection due to the amount of tie-in issues it features. However, despite fluidity shortcomings, Ahmed's take on Miles is absolutely fantastic, and it is the emotional connection with Spider-Man that sells this run.

actual rating: 3.5 stars

[Jacob · Rating 3 out of 5]

It's fun but it suffers from the amount of single issue tie-ins to events as well as having short arcs that require you to be reading different series alongside it to fully grasp what's going on. Miles is a great character so it's great when he can shine, but this didn't live up to BMB's run. You'll have fun though if you love Miles, so I'd recommend it still.
Also the new suit is straight-up bad.

[Eric · Rating 3 out of 5]

It is perfectly serviceable, if unmemorable super heroics, with art that varies from excellent to mediocre to downright difficult to follow. There are a few jarring crossover interludes, but overall it's a smooth easy ride with only a handful of villains and plots that are easier to follow than other books of the era.
