Miles Weeks Comic Reviews

While The Amazing Spider-Man #57 has some awkward moments in story and art, there are far more where they work together to push the story forward.

There are fantastic art and narrative choices made in this issue, but it is not quite enough to stop me from worrying about the future of this arc.

The Amazing Spider-Man #62 was a well-done issue, but there are no surprises and the plot feels like we're moving too quickly, leaving me wondering what is in store for the future.

The Amazing Spider-Man #65 explores a different side of Peter's humanity and chooses character over action, but missteps a few times in how it handles the emotional moments.

The Amazing Spider-Man #66 sets up engaging scenarios but fails to deliver them meaningfully, leaving much of the issue feeling out of character and missing moments of emotional weight.

The Amazing Spider-Man #69 works hard to improve characterization and get us curious about what happens next, but it falls short in showing the extent of Callix's change after the blight affects him.

The Amazing Spider-Man #70 has strong art and solid character moments, but misses a few key moments to make a stronger emotional connection.

The Amazing Spider-Man #2 is strong in its immersive paneling, clever pacing, artwork, and unique insight into Peter's character, but it's held back by underdeveloped and stereotypical characters and plot points like the mushroom lab, which might hurt the story's believability if not handled carefully.

The Amazing Spider-Man #3 comes in strong with good dialogue and expressive art, but the short action sequence and lack of growth in Peter's characterization hold it back.

The Amazing Spider-Man #4 is a fantastic issue full of action without sacrificing character, story, or pacing. However, a few minor missteps are just strong enough to pull the reader out of the fun.

The Amazing Spider-Man #6 comes in strong with strong character interactions and a positive shift that this series really needed, but the downgrade in art quality and the fact that Peter and Shay's relationship feels inconsistent holds it back from its full potential.

The Amazing Spider-Man #8 earns points on the artistic and emotional fronts, but it feels far too similar to the previous issue and includes Spider-Man making some questionable choices during his battle.

The Amazing Spider-Man #9 has excellent art and realistic character choices, but is held back by gaps that feel as though they are meant to be intentional, but leave the reader confused.

The art and focus on Norman's feelings about being good make for a solid issue with The Amazing Spider-Man #14, but there's definitely room for improvement, particularly when it comes to Ben and his motivations.

The Amazing Spider-Man #16 highlights strong character moments with Norman and May, but the art sometimes hinders these moments, and the character featured on the cover only makes a brief appearance.

The Amazing Spider-Man #19 is a strong issue with fantastic art and a focus on character that pushes relationships forward, but the lack of motive behind Hellgate's actions feels out of place in comparison and leaves the issue feeling like it's missing something.

The Amazing Spider-Man: Torn #1 is a great start to this story with great art, an intriguing story, and good dialogue. There is definitely room for more, but it manages to leave room without feeling like anything is lacking.

The Amazing Spider-Man: Torn #2 is a solid issue with great dialogue and art, but its slower pace and a lack of action might turn some readers away.

The Amazing Spider-Man: Torn #3 is a great issue that adds depth and character to the story, but it misses a key opportunity to emphasize Peter's feelings and leaves a lot of open ends.

Captain America #4 focuses on combat, so there is little story progression, but it is still a strong issue with interesting techniques, great art, and good character moments.

Miles Morales: Spider-Man #26 is filled with great art and character development, which has put the story in a strong position to continue into the next chapter.

Other than a small omittance of information, Miles Morales: Spider-Man #31 is full of fun, action, and character development that will hook in the reader and leave them anticipating the next set of stories.

The continuity and character moments shine through in Miles Morales: Spider-Man #32 while keeping Miles at the forefront of the story. However, despite his prominent role, Anansi's presence still feels underwhelming compared to Thor and Ares, leaving the story feeling like it needs a bit more.

This series continues to feature good artwork, and Miles Morales: Spider-Man #33 has a few standout character moments, but has storytelling moments that feel like Miles gets sidelined in favor of exposition by the Gods and feels like we're entering an arc that will not feel unique.

Though Miles Morales: Spider-Man #39 falls below the expectation set by the cover's banner, claiming that it's the fallout from Ultimate Incursion, it is more than made up for by doing a good job balancing action, character, and humor to wrap up this arc.

Space Ghost/Jonny Quest: Space Quest #1 is a great start to this crossover with good dialogue and classic-looking art. However, some artistic mishaps and an overabundance of text can distract the reader from some of the comic's good moments.

Superman Unlimited #1 has an intriguing plot, good character moments, and delivers exposition in a creative way, but the exposition slows the plot to a standstill, and the art doesn't rise to the level of the story.

Superman Unlimited #2 combines artwork and character interaction to establish Superman's new normal. But it reveals the secret behind his power too early, undermining a compelling character and ruining future opportunities for suspense.

The Spectacular Spider-Men #7 involves a lot of action and an interesting twist to the mystery, but most of the story was the fight with K.N.A.I.V.E., and it left me wishing we had gotten more.

Though Miles takes a backseat in The Spectacular Spider-Men #8, this is a great setup for the new arc, and I'm excited to see where this story will go!

The Spectacular Spider-Men #9 had a good story and nice art, but the rest of the arc will have to work hard to make the time spent on this part of the story worthwhile.

The Spectacular Spider-Men #10 didn't provide anything exceptional, but it was good at addressing both the hero and the civilian sides of Peter and Miles' lives in an enjoyable way and has me excited to get to the next part of the story.

Certain moments and character designs shine in The Spectacular Spider-Men #11, but the disjointed narrative and lack of engagement with the main story left me wishing we could move on to the next story beat as fast as possible.

The art in The Spectacular Spider-Men #12 is well done, and there's plenty of humor, but the lack of continuity and the way the characters tell more than they show contribute to the feeling that the plot is dragging instead of moving forward.

The Spectacular Spider-Men #13 brings back some of the feeling that the Arcadium arc left us with, balancing character and dialogue to prepare the reader for the next piece of the story.

While The Spectacular Spider-Men #14 has a few good moments, the art does not reach the level of the previous issue, and the conclusions we get feel anticlimactic and rushed.

This series finale is sweet and improved visually, and delivers on cameos and heartfelt moments that feel good despite the rushed ending. However, low stakes, cliffhangers that cannot be resolved, and the lack of an emotional resolution make The Spectacular Spider-Men #15 an underwhelming conclusion to the Spectacular Spider-Men.

Ultimate Spider-Man: Incursion #1 leads with an interesting premise, but its inconsistent character writing and odd choices in dialogue and pacing leave it falling short of expectations.

Ultimate Spider-Man: Incursion #5 wraps things up with emotional moments that are enhanced by the art and set up for the future of Miles' story, but the rushed pacing and lack of a substantial conclusion hold it back from being a standout issue in terms of storytelling.

Venom War: Spider-Man #4 was a good issue with great art and a good story to end this portion of Venom War, even if there wasn't a lot of action.
