Spider-Man is swinging in for another fast-paced adventure!Spider-Man, aka Afro-Latine teenager Miles Morales, is excited to be a celebrity's plus-one to a new video game launch, but when the party is interrupted by Trinity and Vex, two potential teenage supervillains-in-training, Spider-Man is soon tangled in a web of plans created by the Stranger, a superstrong, superintelligent extraterrestrial with plans to kill half of Earth's population in the name of justice. The Stranger plans to freeze people in a state of unexplained hibernation and then turn half the population against the other half. The book's basic plot seems lifted from Avengers: Infinity War. Sure, there are some personal stakes added to this story, as Spider-Man's friends and family are frozen, and a subplot develops where Miles' Uncle Aaron is hospitalized after being frozen while driving, but the graphic novel suffers from the blink-and-you'll-miss-it emotional ways in which these (temporary) losses affect Miles. The exposition in place of plot and fast-paced character development also won't help readers turn into mega-fans. Miles Morales became incredibly popular because he was a breath of fresh air, adding nuance and depth to Marvel, and this book is going to be read and reread by many fans because of that, but it brings little new to the party. Trinity is brown-skinned, while Vex is light-skinned.A lackluster outing for a beloved Marvel character. (Graphic novel. 8-10)

Miles Morales has just about gotten used to this being Spider-Man thing. Keeping Brooklyn safe, taking down bad guys, and finishing his homework--hes got this!

Hes judged humanity and found it lacking, and his idea of justice is extreme.
