4.0

I read this hoping to find some scenes for my comic book class to compare and contrast with the Into the Spider-Verse movie. Turns out, they are very different! I now want to read more Miles Morales comics so I can find some better source material for comparison to use in class.

This is VERY comic book-y. I don’t know how else to describe the plot of vampire-like Inheritors manipulating the Web of Life and Destiny so they can devour all the spider totems in the Multiverse, leading to an inter-dimensional team-up of Spider-People. It was really fun to see the different iterations of Spider-Man interacting, but I understand why this plotline only exists in the comics.

My biggest complaint was about the format of the compilation. I would’ve preferred to read all of the issues chronologically rather than by series. Unfortunately comixology did not include a navigable table of contents, so there was so easy way for me to read these comics in the order I wanted to.
