Honestly, I didn't really enjoy this book. Generally I'm a big fan of Peter David's writing, but here it just felt a bit forced. 

The lightheartedness that usually comes with a Spider-Man story is gone here. I know it's in the future and it's supposed to be all evil corporations and so forth, but everyone is just so emo. 

Miguel O'Hara is not a particularly likeable character, and the support cast isn't very interesting. The art is nice for the most part and Spider-Man 2099's costume is super cool, but I wouldn't really recommend this to anyone.
