Another fantastic issue of USM, Miles Morales really is growing into a great character. I loved his inner monologue here, and how he really didn’t seem to know what he was doing, Bendis really got across the sense of discovery he was going through. The fight with Omega Red was very well done, and perfectly demonstrated how he is both similar and different to Peter, the bit where he makes fun of Omega with the same joke Peter used was great. I also really liked how Bendis introduced a bit of conflict into Miles’ home life, with his father being anti-Spider-Man and his mother pro, it’s going to be interesting to see how that plays out. The scene with Uncle Aaron/Prowler and the Tinkerer was really good stuff too, I had previously thought of Aaron as an essentially harmless thief, but now… he’s a bad guy, and the fact that he knows about Miles is very worrying. I can’t wait to see what he has up his sleeve. It was a really great move by Bendis to give Miles a Bizarro Uncle Ben. Chris Samnee’s art was once again top-notch, he’s really fantastic, the man can draw anything!
