Miles Morales Spider-Man #2 - But Why Tho

Miles Morales: Spider-Man #2 is published by Marvel Comics, written by Cody Ziglar, art by Federico Vicentini, colours by Bryan Valenza, and letters by Cory Petit. Miles is going through an identity crisis, struggling to cope with the double life. When investigating a previous crime scene, he finds someone to team up with.

The plot of this issue is great for a teen superhero comic. The divide between hero life and real life is constantly overlapping. It’s a great reestablishment of the story thread, that both are pressing down on Miles and he is struggling to cope. The structure begins in Miles’ room, but it isn’t long before we are thrown back into superhero antics. There is a brilliant energy throughout the comic, positive overall in its tone. The team-up feels classic and was unexpected, developing into a brilliant fight. The last part of the comic is an extension of some of the story threads started from the previous issue, showing an attack on Miles from multiple angles.

The dialogue and the character development are superb. Perhaps the biggest change within this run of Miles Morales: Spider-Man is the influx of negativity in not just Miles’ personality, but the way others around him interact. His relationship with Starling is faltering due to his reluctance to communicate. And the ever-funny figure in Ganke is also showing frustration and anger towards his best friend. This exploration by Ziglar is fascinating and relatable for those who have struggled to maintain all the different aspects of their life as they reach their late teens and early 20s. The guest star in this issue is a prudent choice, as they can provide advice and guidance for the young hero.

The art is outstanding. That energy in the writing is also manifested through the art, perhaps even more so. Starling was not seen last issue, but Vicentini’s presentation of her costume is fantastic. The layers and intricacies of the feathers can seem excessive but it is distinctive. The character that teams up with Miles also looks great in this art style. Then comes the fight—a claustrophobic and intense brawl. A size difference is implemented that reduces space and increases the danger. The speed and savagery of the attack are captured terrifically.

The colors are stunning. There is a huge amount of detail in the shades, helping to provide shape and depth to the art. The book is rich and eye-catching with its colors, the vibrancy of reds and greens worthy of particular mention in this issue. The letters are always easy to read, and the SFX are brilliantly placed into a panel so they are part of the action.

Miles Morales: Spider-Man #2 is extremely fun. It is possibly the best teen or young superhero comic within the big two right now, filled with emotional gravity and a tremendously exciting storyline. Miles has a supporting cast to challenge him and enemies that are a huge test. The art is awesome and the guest star is a great example of what could be expected in further issues.

Miles Morales: Spider-Man #2 is available wherever comics are sold.
