Spider-Man 2099 #7

I'll admit it, Punisher 2099 being here was just a great thing to see, though I halfway thought we might get someone like Doom. But my memories of the old 2099 books and where they ended are certainly hazy. This installment keeps things moving and manages to make me like Lady Spider even more (and no, don't change your name, oh wonderful steampunk incarnation) and it also has Miguel back in his home environment where you really do get a sense that he feels much more at home. It's a fast moving book that works some 2099 material well while also advancing the Spider-Verse stuff in an engaging way. I'm still not thrilled that the main book had to deal with it, but this installment helps sway me a bit with what it did. Read Full Review

This issue feels like it was a filler issue where one was not called for.Knowing more about the inner-workings of the Inheritors, even if it didnt manage to find a silver bullet solution to the problem, sounded like a great time for some character building (where better to bond than over an autopsy table?) as well as some mythos-building, finally learning SOMEthing concrete about the characters. Where were left by issues end, doesnt feel like well get that opportunity, at least not within this event. The art is still great, and Im still loving the characters, especially that quick appearance by one in particular from this timeline, but regarding this issue isnt a strong entry either in the series nor the Spider-Verse event itself.

Spider-Man 2099 #7 has a great sequence involving The Punisher of the future, but seems to have no impact on the larger "Spider-Verse" story and had few character-defining moments. Read Full Review
