Spider-Man 2099: Out of Time Review

Finished reading Spider-Man 2099: Out of Time, this brings writer Peter David back to the character he created in the early 90's as Miguel O'Hara, the Spider-Man of the year 2099 try's to deal with being trapped in the present. The book opens up with a short story of Spider-Man 2099 stopping a mugging while still coming to terms with how present day people work. The next story begins with Miguel getting an apartment to live in during his time in the present while noticing that the person he saved from the mugging earlier is also the super of his apartment. Later while Miguel's working at Alchemex an armoured man form the future try's to stop Miguel as he's creating a paradox in the time stream for not being in his own time. After the fight ends in front of Alchemex CEO Liz Allen, she ends up discovering that Miguel is from the future after doing some background checks on Miguel's alias. The next part of the book deals with Miguel and his boss Tiberius Stone travel to the war torn country of Trans-Sabal were Tiberius plans to sell a large number of Spider Slayers to the country's government only for a group of rebels to kidnapped Tiberius, which leads to Miguel crossing paths with the Scorpion who has been employed by Alchemax to keep an eye on the shipment of the Spider Slayers as the two are trying to find Tiberius. The last story in the book is an Edge of Spider-Verse tie in which features the return of artist Rick Leonardi to the character as the interdimensional villain Morlun is gunning for multiple versions of Miguel O'Hara Spider-Man throughout the multiverse. Overall this was a good book as writer Peter David deals with the Spider-Man 2099's life after being stranded in the present and how he deals with his current predicament. The comedy throughout is great, ranging form Miguel being a fish out of water and finding it hard to understand some people to the Adjustor, the time traveling antagonist at the beginning of the book all hit their mark. The art by Will Sliney is great as it gives a very futuristic vibe to the book from the character designs of the Adjustor form the year 2211 to the updated look of the Scorpion. Additionally artist Rick Leonardi along with colourist Antonio Fabela work on the Edge of Spider-Verse story is great as the art helps to differentiate between each universe thanks to a slight change of the tone and pallet of colours that are used. 7/10.
