Miles Morales-The Ultimate Spider-man #9 Review

Now a part of Wilson Fisk’s crew he tries to get Fury to arrest the villain but he refuses. After he uncovers a mutant growth hormone drug ring Fury finally sweeps in and saves the day. In the present eh has a tear filled moment with his son about his past, the death of Aaron/Prowler and his wife.

 

What I thought

This was a tear jerking two part story where we finally learn or at least got a glimmer of Jefferson and Aaron Davis’s criminal past. Their ties to SHEILD and a rational of why Jefferson reacted the way he did when Miles revealed he was Spider-man. The art wasn’t my favorite but it fit the tone of the darker tale. It also had a flavor of nostalgia which really enhanced everything. There were a few bouts of action but this is just a triumph of emotion when art and story just form a magnificent symbiosis that beg you to break down in tears. Brian Michael Bendis may not have wowed me with his run on Uncanny X-men but Ultimate Spider-man is still one of the best books being published period! I give these two issues 5/5 stars

stars- 5 excellent
