Spider-Man 2099: Back to the Future, Shock! Review

Finished reading Spider-Man 2099: Back to the Future, Shock!, concluding the adventures of Miguel O'Hara in the present his final battle against the Fist looms on the horizon. The book opens with Miguel interrogating the 2099 version of Electro with the hopes to gain any information on the plan of the villainous group the Fist. Being unable to get any information from him Miguel leaves with Lyla staying in the room to watch over Electro as he plans to escape and seemingly succeeds only to discover that it was a ploy by Lyla who hacked into his mind and staged the escape form him to reveal the date that the Fist plan on executing their plan. With this information and the help of Sonny, Miguel reconfigures his time door way he jumps to the year 2019 to stop the Fist with some surprising help. The final story within the book is a classic as Miguel discovers that he has switch places with the original Spider-Man, and while trying to get back to the future Peter finds himself lost in the futuristic world of 2099. Overall this was a good book as writer Peter David wraps up the series including all of the plot threads that have been prominent throughout the series very nicely as each character's story comes to an end. The character interactions are great as the moments between Miguel and Tempest pay off very well as their final moments together while different for each of the characters, thanks to the use of time travel never loses any of the emotional weight within the book especially with the reveal of the Spider-Man in Miguel's classic costume. The art by Will Sliney continues to be great as the action set pieces a brought to life extremely thanks to the positioning of each character while also put a great amount of focus into each of the characters interactions which makes the more character driven moments more impactful. 7.5/10.
