It’s time for another edition of Brian Bendis Attempts To Obliterate My Interest in Miles Morales! In (good grief) Volume 3, the increasingly uninspired writer finds the laziest pseudo-storylines on which to hang his copious amounts of uninteresting, soapy melodrama!
Miles’ freshly-resurrected Ma finds out (again, as she doesn’t remember her pre-death life) that her son is Spider-Man and her hubby’s a SHIELD agent… zzz... Bombshell thinks Miles fancies her because he beat up Hammerhead for hospi ...more

Miles's mom finds out he's Spider-Man and his dad is working for SHIELD. It allows for a ton of great character moments and that's where the book shines. The villains are almost incidental at this point. Miles loses it while fighting Hammerhead and is afraid he might kill someone someday. He also heads to Tokyo and runs across the Technogoblin. I loved when Gahnke calls himself Ned (A little shoutout to Gahnke's name being changed for Spider-Man: Homecoming.) and when Miles chases down the purse

While the previous installments were enjoyable (but not quite 'amazing' or 'spectacular' - I couldn't resist the Spidey wordplay) Vol. 3 kicks things up a notch with the violence and drama. One notable sequence has Spider-Man chasing a fleeing mugger into a nightclub - 'Romita's Bar & Grill,' a knowing tip of the hat to father / son Marvel Comics artists John Sr. and Jr. - and he proceeds to bash, thrash and trash the place into an eerie silence. Is he now swinging too close to 'the dar ...more

Much better than the previous 2 volumes of the relaunch. Justin Ponsour is on art now and, except for giving women weirdly large foreheads, is a good fit.
Overall, it's a mixed bag of stories. Miles' mom has discovered her husband's and son's secret lives and both have to deal with the fallout. On top of that, Miles has to deal with growing pains and superhero self-doubt, Hammerhead has to take care of Spidey or Felicia will kick him to the curb, and both Bombshell and Goldballs get b-plots.

Set after the interdimensional adventure with Spider-Woman and the Civil War II event, Miles Morales and his father now share an intimate moment to discuss the importance of the truth and the pain that lies can cause. This ultimately pushes the narrative to focus around the relationship around multiple characters, including the one between Miles and his mother.

I felt like this was a decent prologue, but it was missing something. I want this book to succeed & I want this character to succeed. It seems that the writers at Marvel who use him are to hesitant to explore his full potential. I keep looking back at the Ultimate Comics days with a hard longing. I feel like Morales' potential was much better realized and acted upon then. I hope the next volume lets him have a true moment to shine and a well rewarded win. The teenage angst in this book was borin

Definitely an improvement from the previous volume! (also I may have cried a few times because these characters are literally my life).
A strong volume of Miles Morales in large part because it focuses on character. We get great character moments for Miles, for his dad, for his mom, for Ganke, for Goldballs, and for Bombshell. It's terrific that Bendis has put together such a strong cast, and it's great to see them written so well and with such depth.
There's also some plot, and it's good enough. It's interesting to see Miles' own interactions with Hammerhead; Bendis is clearly enjoying having Miles in 616. The last two issues, w ...more

A huge scrap with a classic Peter Parker foe sees him questioning what is he doing as 'Spider-Man'. Someone else finds out his true identity and it might just destroy his family! An ex-villain has a crush on him... oh, and he nips off to Japan.

More beautifully envisaged, well plotted, real adventures from the Bendis machine. In case you don't know I have always felt that Miles was/is the superior Spider-Man, and the recent Emmy winning movie is now a testament to that :)

I loved it. I loved the Ganke and Miles conversation about Miles being a Spider-Man cover band. I wish the whole series could be Ganke and Miles, but I understand the need for auxilliary characters and storylines. It’s cool. It’s Spider-Man after all.
Time to go on a Bendis bender! (#6 of 8)
The first half of the book is pretty decent. I'm liking what Bendis is doing with Hammerhead, letting him appear in his various Marvel titles working with Black Cat and keeping him the bizarre throwback 50s mobster character that he was even in his original appearances in the Marvel Universe. Hammerhead is an effective villain in this volume, driving some changes for Miles and Bombshell.

I read Spider-Man: Miles Morales Vol. 3 as single issues through the Marvel Unlimited app.
I was torn between rating this volume a 3 ½ or a 4. I’m sticking with 3 ½ for now, but I may cave and change it later. We’ll see.
Miles is back, and as per usual he seems to be getting himself into trouble. Okay, to be more accurate, this volume is mostly about consequences of the last volume (the one with him and Spider-Gwen). Well, mostly.

A really strong volume of an excellent comic book.
Miles and his father Jefferson return from their adventure in Earth-65 to find that Miles' mother Rio has discovered they have been lying to her- that Miles is Spider-Man and that Jefferson has returned to SHIELD. This leads onto to Miles questioning everything.
What I love about this book is how it manages to juggle so many balls. In this volume we have Rio's discovery of the lie and everyone's reaction to it, more machinations from Black Cat a ...more

I've loved Miles Morales since he was first introduced and this volume continues the high level storytelling goodness. There are a lot of quiet scenes in the dorm, with Miles and Ganke (and Fabio/Goldballs) just talking and being friends, which are the things I like best about the book. With a bit of retconning, Miles' mother is still alive and in his life and she discovers his secret, and the accompanying lies both father/husband and son have been telling her for years.

When Peter Parker put on the black suit, we saw darker and evil thoughts coming from Spidey. That turned out to be the violent thoughts of the Venom Symbiote. Miles' suit has always been black. Is he under an alien influence when his thoughts begin to go dark and violent? The answer is no....
Miles's life has become slightly crazy and hectic. Coming off his adventure with Spider-Gwen, he has saved his father, his mother just found out he's Spider-Man, he still has problems with Black Cat, and he' ...more

Bendis continues to be the most inconsistent writer in Marvel's stable. This volume, while mostly good, has a lot of bad in it as well. The first two issues are the most egregious. Out of nowhere the writing and dialog becomes clunky and jumps from one thing to another elegantly. This culminates in an entire issue of dialogue that is mostly sentence fragments that make little to no sense. Almost like the whole thing was rushed out the door.

I first met Miles Morales in a Ms. Marvel collection, and I’ve been wanting to learn more about him. I’ve missed a lot of spider-people backstory, but only felt a little lost at the beginning of this volume. (Apparently, this is actually the third collection, so whoops!)
Miles is a teenager who, like the original Spider-Man, Peter Parker, receives his powers from a spider bite. That’s not in this collection, so I’m still not clear on the details. (Some backstory is revealed, however.) His Dad is ...more

I think I have to be done with Bendis' treatment of this series. This is getting ridiculous. He makes Bombshell believe Miles is in love with her in a 80's-teeny-bopper-comedy style way. Ooh, he tried to take out Hammerhead, that means he loves me, giggle giggle. It's, frankly, insulting how Bendis thinks AFAB people act/think.

There isn’t a very tight link to the issues collected in this book. But I like the way Bendis does things so I enjoyed the story telling. I’m curious as to what happened to his grandmother from the start of this relaunch, I may have forgotten something.
And I’ll say it again and again but I like Miles. I don’t think I’ll ever like him more than Peter but he’s a good character to have around. He’s interesting. And even a book with him where not a whole lot happens is still entertaining.
3 stars.

This volume had its highs and lows for me - on the one hand, I like that it's tackling how Miles' secret identity affects his family. It adds a lot to his story and I'm glad that is family is a part of his story, while it isn't for a lot of characters.
On the other hand, I didn't like the Japan arc. I thought it was kind of abruptly written and I wish it segued more with what was happening before it.

3.5* Overall I really liked this volume. I thought the whole family story was interesting and well done because the reactions of the characters felt realistic and added some real emotional weight. I also enjoyed how Miles is questioning his role as Spider-Man. So overall I enjoyed the story and the characters and apart from a few choices I also liked the art. However I also felt like the whole story was kind of slow and there was a weird detour where Miles suddenly goes to Japan for no real reas

Oh no! Momma Morales knows! After how many close calls, Miles’ mother has figured out that her son is actually Spider-Man; or one of them at least. This sets Miles on a path of destruction, and ultimately, restoration, and with the help of his best friend, Ganke, he starts thinking about whether or not to continue living this double life. Definitely the best volume of the series. Excited to see where the story is heading!

This is heavy on the teen drama, but Bendis' writing is good enough that you can easily overlook some of the faults in the dialogue. Bendis' books usually have a combination of "this book is reading really fast" and "I want to see what's going to happen next." Because you can read his stuff so quickly, there is a satisfying aspect to devouring his works.
Final rating = 4.5 stars ...more

There's a lot to like in this one and a little to be annoyed by. Miles sort of swings from side to side and does the wrong thing. But all the characters seem true to themselves if a little random. Including the ending which was abrupt and a lot random. I would like to see a better resolution on the Miles Bombshell relationship. I'm hoping that the Goldballs thing makes sense later. And perhaps the last page of the book won't have happened. 3.5 of 5.
