Arana and Spider-Man 2099: Dark Tomorrow is an exciting addition to the growing collection of YA stories about Spider-Verse characters. 

Dark Tomorrow has all the excitement and adventure that you would expect from a Spider-man novel. Arana has her own spidey origin story, which is very different to any others I’ve read. I will definitely be checking out her story in the comics because she was awesome! 

It has duel POVs from Anya and Miguel O’Hara, which I really enjoyed. I actually ended up really liking both characters, which I did not expect after Across the Spider-Verse. But this book made you like Miguel O’Hara. 

This story features time travel and there is a lot of jumping back and forth, which did get a bit confusing at times. 

I recommend this for fans of Spider-Man and the Spider-Verse! Keep in mind it is written for kids and teens, but I think it’s a book all fans can enjoy! I hope we see more Arana! 

3.5 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️✨

Too many negative things happening. It’s not a bad story, and I will probably go back to it at some point. I’m in a mental slump and it’s just not what I need right now.

This felt almost too fast paced. While it works for the comics, Segura's style feels choppy compared to other superhero novels. I loved his characterizations, but I wanted more time with them.

Miguel O'Hara was too much of a little meow meow in this, movie Miguel was a vampire and had a lot more bite (pun intended)
