Ultimate Spider-Man

Spider-Man 12-14

Spider-Gwen 16-18

This crossover should have been a lot more fun.  Miles and Gwen on a cross-dimensional jaunt where they start to develop feelings for each other? Should be a slam dunk.  Instead, it’s a bit of a mess, especially on the Spider-Gwen side; Jason Latour has some problems with storytelling clarity.  Plus, the main plot about dimension-jumping bad guys led by alternate reality Jefferson Davis is a total clunker.


Still, seeing the two of them married in the future and the cute open-ended “let’s stay friends for now” is totally satisfying.





Aww.

Spider-Man 15-21

Miles’ mom discovers the truth, Miles fights Hammerhead, Bombshell falls in love with Miles, Goldballs leaves without giving a reason, Ganke hooks up with Spider-Man fangirl Danika, and Miles randomly infiltrates a Japanese underground casino.  Nothing particularly standout, but all pretty fun.


True...

Generations: Spider-Men 1

All of these Generations titles were pretty much a waste of time.  This one is no exception.  Miles travels back to the day Peter Parker lifts a building in the classic Amazing Spider-Man 33.  They have a heart-to-heart, and Miles finds new resolve to remain Spider-Man.  Apparently this is also the day young Miles meets Ganke, and present-day Miles gets to witness that scene as well.  I’d only buy it again for completionist’s sake.
