We get a double dose of Miles Morales this week, as his tenuous tie-in to United We Stand continues. This was a talky issue, but unlike this week’s Avengers, this was good talky, as there were some fantastic scenes. Miles and Ganke’s back-and-forth was hilarious once again, I just love their relationship, it was great to see them messing about with the web-shooters. The other standout scene was when a Police Officer came to Miles’ house to question him about Uncle Aaron’s death. Not only was this Ultimate Maria Hill (All 3 Maria Hill fans celebrate!), but it was a very intense scene, does she know he’s Spider-Man? How deep do her suspicions go? But in the end, it all works out pretty well, as Miles is exonerated, in his head at least, for the killing of Uncle Aaron. The end of the issue has Miles head to the Triskelion in an attempt to join The Ultimates. Bendis was seemingly heading towards Peter joining the team before he died, so I’m very excited to see where this is going. Even in an issue with not much action, this book is fantastic.
