I'm beginning to like Miguel as Spider-Man. 2099 and Lady Spider made a good team, which made this a quick read. Considering checking back with the original volumes, I enjoyed Peter David's writing.

I want to like this more than I do. It's actually not bad for an alternate worlds time-travelling multiple spider marvel book. But all of those things count against it. And there are too many bad guys - like everyone in Miguel's company - that I don't care about. The book just feels cold.

Okay, first off, I admit how big a geek I am for not being able to wait to see the movie. We clear on that? Good.
As far as sequels go, there are some good points that I hope translate well to the screen - the further descent of Harry Osborne into madness, the ongoing frustration of Peter's attempts to balance Spiderman with Peter Parker, and a few "failures" in his Spiderman powers (a bit of a nod toward what might be happening in movie number three, mayhap?). Also, advancing things two years after the previous movie was a good touch - a lot has happened in the meanwhile.
That all said - Doc Ock is a bit, well, odd. His tentacles are apparently sentient, and he's busy cooking up a small sun (er, rather, fusion device). Mary Jane has some pretty forced lines (though I imagine as on-screen, they might seem less so). The climax is sort of anti-climactic (and a bit been there, done that in relation to the first movie). Still, I cross fingers that over all it will be fun to watch.
