Finished reading Spider-Man 2099: Smack to the Future, writer Peter David continues the adventures of the time displaced Spider-Man, Miguel O'Hara as he adapts to life in the present with a girlfriend and a new job. The book opens with Miguel stopping a armed bank robber but not without the casualty of a young girl which cause Miguel to quit being Spider-Man as Peter Parker offers him a job at Parker Industries later on. After taking Peter up on his offer and not being Spider-Man for a while Miguel has put more forces into is relationship with his girlfriend Tempest and building a time portal to 2099 in hope to return home. While out on a date with Tempest the restaurant a car crashes through the front window kill most of the people in the restaurant causing Miguel to dawn an updated version of his costume to find out how was behind the attack. While all of this is happening the newest employee of Parker Industries Roberta Mendez, the Captain America of 2099 begins to question Miguel's actions when she discovers that he is the Spider-Man of her time. Overall this was a good book as it continues Miguel's adventures in present day as relationship with Tempest becomes the main driving force for Miguel to be Spider-Man again which begins a very interesting mystery. The reintroduction of Roberta Mendez, the Captain America from the Secret Wars version of 2099 is a great addition to the cast with how Miguel interacts with her and how the two work together in the fight between the cyborg from and alternative 2099 at the end of the book. The art by Will Sliney continues to be a great as it fits the futuristic tone and feel of the book which is also help by the team of colourists on the book. 7.5/10.
