I enjoyed this a lot! The only thing preventing it from being 5 stars is how much it kind of jumped around because of Civil War II and had two issues that had minimal Miles/Spider-Man. Miles is a great character and his supporting cast is pretty good too, once you get over Gold Balls...
Definitely read Civil War II before this.

This is the best one, interesting morale dilemma, too bad I can’t finish the series
⭐ 3.7/5
Ganke was a little less annoying in this book and it really feels like the story is ramping up compared to the first book. Really like the integration of Miles's dad and how that plays a part in the story.

I mean, it's okay! But the Civil War II stuff is in there, there's a story about Miles's dad, the Jessica Jones thing gets resolved quickly, it feels like a second book that's meant to move the plot along.
Miles has to decide which side he's on.
We did this with the first civil war. Now we do it again, as Miles has to choose what he believes in. Both would be using him but when the vision comes out of him killing Captain America, things get extra screwed up. Miles is at a loss, his grandmother hired Jessica Jones to find out who he is, and love troubles for Ganke.
Overall a decent volume, some fun moments, and I really do like Miles and his boys. But man oh man, some of the dialogue from Jessica and Luke is corny as hell, and the whole Tony Stark using Miles was too obvious. I dunno what happen, but Bendis doesn't write Jessica and Luke like he did despite making them famous.
Anyway overall a decent arc and some fun times.

Let me start this review by saying I love Miles Morales, I love reading about his new perspective and spin on Spider-man. I find his crush on Ms. Marvel extremely cute. And I love some of the subtle interactions worked into this volume, like where he questions Tony Stark's perspective on profiling, where he gets dozens of cops guns pointed at him and starts thinking about the dozens of instances of police profiling and brutality against people of color.
However, all these good points are lost in a disjointed, hodge podge storyline, which is jumbled up with the events of the second marvel Civil War and something going on with Miles' dad. This whole thing means that most of the novel is not well connected, nor does it do a good job focusing on Miles.
I had high expectations, but honestly did not enjoy this volume.
