[Punchy]

Another very strong issue of USM, I just love visiting Miles’ world every month, and seeing the world of Spider-Man through new eyes. David Marquez comes in as artist for this issue, and he does a fantastic job, very reminiscent of Sara Pichelli, but perhaps a little bit less cartoonish. There were lots of great moments in this issue, Miles’ back-and-forth with the Police Chief was classic Bendis, and the stuff with Prowler and Scorpion was very interesting, it’s cool that we’re getting new villains along with our new Spider-Man. I also like that Bendis is introducing problems in Miles’ life at school, he can’t get away with being out all night fighting crime like Peter Parker could, he’s got to be in bed by nine! This book is a lot of fun, and just keeps on getting better and better, I miss Ultimate Peter for sure, but after 9 issues, Miles Morales is Spider-Man, and his book is kicking ass. I just hope that as well as the new villains, we’ll get to see Miles taking on some of the more classic villains, we’ve had Electro, but I want more.
