I like Miles and the relationship he has with his dad. That being said I didn’t like very much of the stuff going on in this, I chuckled at a few of the references to Spider history and other Spider-Men showing up. And I do like Miles, it I didn’t like the Spider Gwen issues very much, I like the art. But the writing and humor used in them is reference based and I don’t think it works very well.

"Spider-Man/Spider-Gwen: Sitting in a Tree" is a fun, fast paced crossover that splices issues from two titles into a relatively coherent story arc. The plot is not overly elaborate but it carries the story along nicely and allows the main characters a chance to shine. Spiderverse fans will be aware that there is a definite chemistry between Gwen (Spider-Gwen/ Spider Woman) and Miles (Spider-Man). The book does not focus on romantic issues though, in as much it portrays a strong and growing friendship between two geeky and socially alienated teenagers. A quick glimpse at future possibilities in the Spiderverse and cameos by fan favorites such as Peni and Spider-Ham round this book out nicely.
What can I say? I am a sucker for romance. But I love this story and the struggle for Family even in the face of what members of your family could have been.
I'd rather ship Miles with Kamala (and his reaction to her showing up when he was with Gwen was the best) but this was still fun. Not mind-blowing, but fun.
5/5 stars
I loved this way more than any of the solo Spider-Gwen books so far, holy heck. I was so relieved to read a volume where Gwen had someone to interact with outside her own head; I liked the flashback/storytelling structure, and I'm always a sucker for dimension-hopping. The writing was pretty tight and flowed nicely, the art was prettier than usual, and I enjoyed the actually fairly even-handed combination of emotion and humor that never fell too much to one side or the other. As a volume, it was a fairly self-contained narrative arc - I'm sure I can nitpick things that I would have liked to see tightened up or elaborated on in the story, but overall it did what I wanted it to.

I just really didn't care what happened next. I don't know why really, I guess I just wanted more form it. Maybe I'll come back to this later.

I was very skeptical going in but this was cute and nice. I love multi-dimensional spider stories, even though they should probably just give regular earth Spider-Gwen and move on.
