Miles's uncle and his father are annoyingly stupid and selfish. Dying and saying that to Miles. The was having a really difficult time learning to be a superhero with all those internal struggles due to his family. If he could just deal with what happened with his uncle without his dad being a big jerk.
But I like this, grounding the superheo story for a teen superhero. However, I realized I don't see any Black/Latino experience or lifestyle yet in these Miles Morales Spider-man comics.
Also, I like the J. Jonah Jameson here; explaining how to be a good journalist.
I quite like the dynamic between Captain America and Miles that I wished they had a kind of father/son bonding or training. The look on Cap's face when he thought Miles will get seriously hurt during that attack on the Triskelion.
But, god, that battle in Wyoming and the entire terror in the States is crazy.
There were a couple of artists who worked on drawing this volume but somehow they quite look the same, as I think about it now. Though I suppose Ponsor does a different coloring technique with Pichelli, with those dot patterns.

So I am really enjoying the new spider man but I have no idea what is happening in the marvel universe so that whole war part threw me.

Miles Morales deals with his uncle, the Prowler, meets Gwen Stacy, Aunt May, and MJ, and goes to war with the Ultimates against HYDRA.
One chapter of the new Spider-Man's life ends as a new one begins. I thought the Prowler storyline was resolved abruptly, which is weird in this day and age when every story is stretched out for 4-6 issues. It was a good resolution, however, that will probably have lasting consequences.
Miles gets webshooters from Aunt May, passing the torch from the old Spider-Man to the new. He saves Captain America's life and joins the Ultimates against HYDRA, which he probably regretted.
It was a pretty enjoyable tale but wasn't nearly as fun to read as the previous two volumes. The Ultimate Universe sure was a much grimmer place, wasn't it? I reiterate that Marvel should have used Miles instead of Peter in the MCU. Miles winding up in the main universe after Secret Wars is a step in the right direction, though.
3.5 out of 5 stars. I'm hoping the next volume is better.

This has some good shit in it, but also has some shitty shit because it crosses over with some big stupid event that I don't give a fuck about.
I'm gonna sum up what I see in most crossovers.
1. Books that are going well take a dip in quality because they have their shit together and have to detour into some other nonsense.
2. Books that are doing horribly do not get any better because when books are doing badly, it's usually a lack of storyline AND the page-to-page, panel-to-panel work. A crossover gives a lousy title a story, but it doesn't fix the execution going on in the individual book.
3. The Main book, the one that is mostly about the crossover, is usually passable, but couldn't that just be its own book? Couldn't they just write House of M or Civil War or Maximum Carnage or Howard The Duck/Squirrel Girl Slash Fiction (how many letters does a guy gotta send) as its own thing and the other stories could continue as normal? Just introduce a new title called [Marvel Crossover TBD] and then we'll all just read those as their own thing?

A solid good book - good story, good art, good pacing. Miles learning to be Spider-man but being different from Peter Parker. Miles meeting Captain America. There's just a lot of good stuff in this one. And a good mixture as well. Not sure how much re-reading it would stand up to though, I guess it depends on where it went next.

Don't judge me for being all over comics lately - I bought a subscription, I wanna make the best of it.
So, this story is about Miles Morales, a black-Latino kid who became Spider-Man after Peter Parker died. In the previous two volumes, he came to grips with his new powers and responsibilities and he tried to balance real life and superhero-ing.
In this volume, his uncle, the supervillain The Prowler, discovers Miles' identity and decides to blackmail him so he can use him in the world of crime. Miles eventually gets out of that (mostly through tragic accident, rather than anything clever), and then he gets thrown into what was probably the crossover event of the year: a battle between S.H.I.E.L.D. and Hydra, full of superheroes and things that aren't very well explained. For some reason, Captain America becomes the President of the United States, which I assume makes sense if you follow his comics.
All's well that ends well, and of course all ends well.

Spiderman es ¿un asesino? Después de ayudar a su tío en contra de El Escorpión, Miles ya no quiere ser parte de el equipo de su tío, pero este lo amenaza con descubrir su identidad.
Después de una pelea lo culpan de asesinarlo, quiere dejar el manto de el trepamuros pero luego May y Gwen lo hacen reflexionar cambiando su mentalidad y quererse convertir en un Ultimate.
Steve Rodgers rechaza esto ya que considera que Miles es muy pequeño, pero después de acontecimientos, se traga sus palabras.
La parte más floja es el último arco, ver a Miles en la guerra no fue tan bueno como supuse.
