Vicentini and Sabbatini deliver some pulse pounding art throughout the issue. The visuals are stylish and perfectly match the frenetic and action-packed tone of the story. Read Full Review

Miles Morales: Spider-Man #9 walks a tightrope in terms of narrative balancing, and does so with grace. This issue further cements Miles Morales' book as Marvel's most premier and highest-quality title with a Spider to grace its cover. Read Full Review

This had a lot of good action that's only made better by Vicentini's art. I must say that I do feel very similarly to how I felt with the previous issue, though. The story wasn't the most interesting one this series has seen, but the issue as a whole is boosted by the more personal moments between Miles and Tiana.

Good action, Miles going through it at the end, and I love how Vicentini draws Hobgoblin.

I think the creators just enjoy blow-by-blow superhero fights more than I do. They're pretty dang good at crafting them, though the art gets a little frantic. I made my peace with all the punch-thwip-zap and found a decent serving of plot and character development accompanying it. Miles's PTSD problem is evolving compellingly, and the Hobgoblin gets at least some of the motivation I found him lacking in the previous issue.

Kind of didn't like how it ended. It had so.e good action though. I did like some of the emotional beats towards the end.
