Apr 17, 2019I know I've said it before, but I'm going to say it again: Saladin Ahmed is a perfect fit for Mile Morales. His take on the character has all of the charm and innocence that we've come to love with Miles, but with added layers of anxiety and responsibility that you'd expect with a high school kid.

You Don't Read Comics - Jason A. Fleece
Apr 17, 2019Miles Morales: Spider-Man continues to be one of the most charming, most classically superhero books on the stands. This new Tombstone arc--complete with a final-page twist introducing a new character--looks to be the continuation of a winning streak for the title with no end in sight. Would that Miles himself could catch the same kind of break. Read Full Review

Apr 29, 2019Life comes crashing down on Miles in Miles Morales: Spider-Man #5. Its a poetic story at heart if you can see past all the (admittedly entertaining) webbing of henchmen and witty remarks. Fans wont want to miss this one, and not just because of the new first appearance! Read Full Review

Black Nerd Problems - Chris Aiken
Apr 21, 2019Where this issue fails for me is the dialogue. Some of the characters, especially the villains and even Miles to an extent, have some cringe-worthy lines. Which is weird, considering how well Ahmed has written everything over the past four issues. It feels like some of the dialogue and interactions between the characters break the pacing when you read them, which can take you out of the book a bit. Other than that, Miles Morales: Spider-Man #5 is another solid entry in this new run. Read Full Review

Apr 22, 2019Saladin Ahmed continues to write a really good Miles I just wish there was more for him to do. These first bunch of issues seems to be setting up a much bigger story, but I just want to get to it quicker. That said, the cliffhanger has me so excited to see more! Read Full Review

It's a really fun book. Happy to read it. Ahmed is starting to expand things as he should. I enjoy Garron's flawless art so much especially with Curiel's vibrant colors. They make it a breeze.

With good writing, artwork and nice new arc for Miles, it's hard not to recommend this.

Miles keeps his various soap opera pots stirred while also zeroing in on the gang war Tombstone is brewing by trying to take over Brooklyn. Excellent art helps keep me engaged with a plot that seems to be scattered all over the map. Hard to predict where we're going next -- but sometimes life is like that, yeah?

This was a pretty good issue, I feel like the pacing is weird here though. And my knee-jerk reaction to the final page isn't a good one.

So it's 5 issues in on a new story line and writer and I have to say that I'm disappointed in the direction that this series is going. I did have high hopes for Ahmed and thought his ideas would continue to build Miles Morales character. Miles is growing up since Bendis which I understand, but has the reality of the world around Miles changed as well? My point is , Miles is in BK , where everyone knows crime is out of control! But when Miles steps out of the Jamaican Beef patty Grocery store ( which was Lame) and saw two gangs shooting it out , why would Ahmed write in an Asian type gang and tombstones goons ... aren't we in Brooklyn??? Then when Miles takes action and grabs the goon , he mouths off to Miles in a curse line which was repe more

Alright, nothing crazy special but not bad, had a bit of my least favourite trope going though.
