Spider-Man 2099: Civil War II Review



Finished reading Spider-Man 2099: Civil War II, continuing the adventures of Miguel O'Hara as the Spider-Man from the future finds himself traveling to two different versions of 2099. The book opens with Miguel trapped in a 2099 that is ruled by a futuristic version of the Sinister Six when he is rescued by his brother's girlfriend Kasey in a suit of armour using a projection of a fire demon as a distraction. As the two head to meet Miguel brother, Gabe he soon finds out that this is a dystopian version of 2099. The second story sees Roberta Mendez going to a version of 2099 in hope to find her family only to get lost in a future that's dealing with is own superhero civil war. Meanwhile Miguel gets news from his boss Peter Parker that the Inhuman Ulysses has had another vision of the future where he sees a captured Captain America in the year of 2099 leading to Miguel going to the future to try and stop Ulysses vision from becoming reality. Overall this was a great book as writer Peter David continues Miguel's time traveling adventures that leads great and interesting stories featuring some great returning characters and interactions that come with them. There is also a great amount of comedic moments woven into the book thanks to good timing moments that don't feel too out of place. The art by Will Sliney continues to be amazing as the futuristic settings and action scenes are designed and drawn incredibly well as some parts of the book even look breathtaking. 8.5/10.
