Is It Any Good?
Peter Parker may be the one true Spider-Man for some fans, but this new, young hero is brave, sarcastic, and likable. In Miles Morales: Stranger Tides, writerJustin A. Reynolds continues to put his own stamp on the character, and artist Pablo DeLeon never lets the visual energy flag. Great superheroics for tween readers, done with humor and flair.
