Spider-Man #20

Spider-Man takes a risk and ships Miles across the globe, away from home in a storyline could last a couple of issues or substantially more depending on what Bendis has in store. Subtle and realistic nods towards Miles and Ganke's relationship are the most intriguing even it isn't the on the main stage of this book. Read Full Review

Spider-Man #20 isn't substantially different from the rest of the series, but shows how drastically a change of scenery and a little narrative momentum can improve the formula. This is the most promising the series has felt since before Secret Wars. Read Full Review

One of the reasons that I love Miles Morales' Spider-Man, is that it has been addressing many political, social justice and relatable family issues in the most recent run. Miles handles all of this really well for a teenager, even though now his solution is to impulsively run away from his problems. However, in the grand scheme of things, Miles is attempting to find his own identity in spite of difficult and important social and political issues surrounding him. Read Full Review

An entertaining yet mostly forgettable issue that still manages to set up a potentially great story arc. Read Full Review

It has become a bit formulaic that Bendis shows us a glimpse of the present only to reverse to how we got there. Using that trope at this point is just frustrating. The fight scene with the street gang is very well done and made me forget all about it just as quickly. There is a reminder to Wolverine tales taking place in Asian countries that makes this an arc of interest for me. While not a memorable issue on it's own, it could be a memorable arc.

This is an average issue. I really liked the art and there are some great scenes in this book. Overall, it just didn't have much in terms of moving the plot forward or really explaining what is going on, but it leaves you wanting next issue which is all I can really ask for.

A solid, but more or less average issue. Nico Leon's art is nice, holding the issue up a bit higher than the plot (which is pretty standard fare) does. And, hey, a cover that has absolutely no contextual tie to the book inside! That's always neat!

Spidey is having a teenage crisis and Ganke eggs him into running away from home - all the way to Tokyo, dropping him neatly in the orbit of the Techno Golem. Nico Leon's art is pretty, and Brian Michael Bendis has enough confidence in his artist to script some great visuals-only content, but it still feels like the strategic plot is in free fall. The pieces are shaking together in a promising way, though, and this installment was a lot more fun than the last issue.

This was very meh, art is still great, but I got nothing to pique my interest in what comes next.

Great art but the issue felt all over place, like just a bunch of ideas thrown together. The fact that the cover to this issue had very little to do with the comic is annoying. Ganke and Miles' friendship and dialogue save it from a 5.
