Comicsverse - Aaron Berkowitz
Aug 02, 2017In SPIDER-MAN #19, writer Brian Michael Bendis includes no drawn out action scenes. Instead, he intensely focuses on the book's characters. In doing so, he adds some incredibly interesting ideas about Miles Morales' place in the Spider-Man legacy. Read Full Review

Black Nerd Problems - Omar Holmon
Aug 03, 2017When Bendis is on, he is on. You can't help but feel the build up as Hammer Head has his blueprints ready to make his move. Miles' social life and reasons for being Spider-Man continue to be challenged, serving for an even deeper look at his character as the issues press on. Read Full Review

IGN - Blair Marnell
Aug 03, 2017The friendship between Ganke and Miles is still one of the best parts of this book, but the sluggish pace really does work against it. Read Full Review

Superior Spider-Talk - Levi Hunt
Aug 11, 2017With Spider-Man #19, the series continues to struggle to progress in meaningful ways but reaches one of its (admittedly low) highs by delivering on wonderful characterization in a handful of a great scenes. Read Full Review

Any Ganke-centric issue is a hit with me! This is more a building-stuff-up issue than anything climactic, but it's got some good character stuff.

A solid issue with a ton of character work. The art was well done. I really hope that Miles stays Spider-Man and doesn't go off as a different character.

I love the youthfulness of the issue but would it be asking too much to get a little more super hero action, it is a comic book after all.

Bendis seems to be going for a Spider-Man No More story for Miles in this small arc. Miles begins to miss his simple life before Spider-Man. Ganke talks to him about maybe being his own hero. With Generations creeping in this could be a way to set up the one shot that will happen between Peter and Miles. There are even hints in Spider-Man II (another team up between Peter and Miles that is currently running) that Peter is frustrated with Miles actions as Spider-Man. Whatever it is Marvel would like us to think that Miles time of sharing the name of Spider-Man is over. I liked Peter Parker, but Miles treads new ground that I would like to see explored. Taking time to have him maybe go through a name change or give up being a hero just seems more

Ganke brings up a Heavy Idea in this all-talk issue: Maybe it's time for Miles to stop being a Spider-Man cover band. Art and dialogue are both cruising along at a "meets minimum professional standards" level, and though there's some nice character development, this is pretty much the *last* title on the Marvel roster that needed to slow down and take a breather.
