Miles Morales: Spider-Man by Jason Reynolds

4.0

There is so much here that I love: the social commentary, the focus on Miles over Spider-man, the fact that Reynolds clearly did his research before writing this, the concept behind the villain. I love that, if you've read the comics, this works beautifully as a missing tale that respects the stories that have come before and adds to them. Honestly, it does a much better job of that than even the newest run on the comics. Unfortunately, while Reynolds nails the voice of the pre-existing characters, the new creations tend to be a bit one dimensional. It's also one of those books where everyone's physical appearance determines the type of person they are, which really gets under my skin.
