Araña and Spider-Man 2099: Dark Tomorrow
Anya has to look deep within herself to stave off a looming immortal threat and save the universe.
When Anya comes into her spider powers, it's hardly smooth sailing--or smooth web-slinging, as it were. Anya's balancing the demands of school, "normal" teenager problems, her secret super hero identity, and the still-fresh loss of her mentor.
Things get even more complicated when an ancient artifact, El Obelisco, goes missing. Knowing how dangerous a powerful artifact can become in the wrong hands, Anya suits up and tracks it to a warehouse in East New York. There's just one wrinkle: This was totally a trap and she totally fell right into it.
Anya finds herself launched decades into the future, far away from her home and everything she knows. But just when it seems like all is lost, Anya finds an ally in 2099's retired Spider-Man, Miguel O'Hara--a reluctant mentor with unconventional methods.

It's always interesting reading novelizations of characters from the Marvel and DC universes. I've read 1 or 2 from Marvel Press and a few from the DC Icons series. While this wasn't the best, it was a solid read.
Arana and Spider-Man 2099: Dark Tomorrow follows main character Anya as she becomes adjusted to being the "spider-man" of her universe. After the disappearance of her mother and loss of her mentor, she's having trouble adjusting to keeping a balanced life. There is also a character called the Traveller who seems to be responsible for some significant changes in the spider-verse. When Anya is ripped from her timeline and deposited into Miguel's (Spider-Man 2099) Neuva York, she realizes that she might have the opportunity to not only stop the Traveller, but also figure out what happened to her missing mother.
What Worked: There were a few things that I think Segura did well with his novel including the representation of the depression and anxiety that comes with being a superhero. Even as a consumer of comics and graphic novels, I easily forget that in a real-life situation these superheroes would be dealing with extreme amounts of trauma coupled with PTSD, depression, and anxiety. Segura clearly illustrated this in the interactions between Anya and Miguel. While she's fairly new to the superhero world, Miguel has had his fair share of losses and ultimately makes the decision to quit the role of Spider-Man after losing too much of his family. While Anya is coping with the loss of her mother, it is clear that her naivety both supports and hinders her as a character. As a result, the two characters balance each other out and make a great team. I also loved the inclusion of Latine culture in this. Marvel and DC haven't always been known for their inclusiveness and sometimes their attempts have been filled with harmful stereotypes. However, it was nice to see good representation shine through in this novel. I also appreciated that Peter Parker didn't really play a role in this book. We all know that I'm not always his biggest fan and while he does make an appearance or two, he's not a central character to the narrative.
What Didn't Work: Okay, let's be honest. The Traveller as a villain was just a tiny bit of a cornball. I don't think his character was fleshed out enough to give him a realistic storyline associated with why he wanted to disrupt the entire Spider-Verse. His obsession with evil was just a little interesting and I think that Segura could have given him a little more backstory to help readers understand his obsessions and motivations. Also, the writing style was a little tricky for me as a reader. I didn't realize that it was going to be multi-perspective and there was some abruptness in the changing voices of Ghost Spider, Anya, and Miguel. I also didn't vibe with the ending. The explanation of the different universes wasn't really written in a way that was completely accessible for ne readers.
Overall, this was a solid read. I couldn't tell if this was going to be the only book or if Segura plans to write more. Either way, I wouldn't necessarily be opposed to reading another one.

Grabbed this on audible during a 2-for-1 sale, and Victoria Villarreal brought an authentic feel to the characters, and overall the narration was a lot of fun.
First and foremost, I am a Peter Parker Spider-Man fan. The OG animated series from when I as a kid, as well as the Tobey McGuire movies. Unless you’re counting the PS4 game and Sony-verse, I know next to nothing about Miles Morales, and my knowledge of Spider-Man 2099 (other than random things) mostly starts with Oscar Isaac. So I gave this a shot simply because it was Marvel and Spidey adjacent, I actually didn’t even know who Araña was at all.
Anya, who takes on the spider-identity of Araña, has a familiar, tough upbringing through her abilities. She must juggle school, a secret identity while living with her father, and the loss of a mentor, all right before a short tussle with an artifact called El Obelisco sends her crashing into the future. Don’t let my condensed version fool you though, because I actually felt like all that set up went on a little longer than I expected, at least for me, who did not read the blurb before jumping in!
In this far-flung future, Anya finds out that there was a Spider-Man in the year 2099, and having only arrived a few years later than that, she figures he must still be active. A lot can change in only a few years though, and the Miguel O’Hara she finds is as far from the tights-wearing hero he was can be. He’s not only jaded, but thinks the world is better off without his costumed help.
Personally, I can always get behind the reluctant mentor trope, and I really liked that it was a retired Spider-Man too, so that she was getting the help from the actual source. But what lacked for me, was the world he came from. Miguel is a rich, business runner with a virtual assistant that arguably does more than her fair share of the work. He even comes from the future where NYC has been renamed Nueva York, and yet I found that the author really didn’t describe it or any differences. As someone unfamiliar, this would have been a huge opportunity to sell me.
Then throw in another dimension’s Ghost Spider out of left field in the third act and you’re really cooking with fire. It seemed like a lot of work to simply not include Peter, who is “off planet”, so I’m curious if he just wasn’t on the table. Regardless, the heroes hero, and this was another interesting and fun spider-people adventure. It had all the necessary touch points, a newbie, great responsibility, middle-story self doubts, emotional pulls, and self sacrifices. All things that make superheroes what they are. Personally a 4/5*.

This was a fun, quick read. The cover is gorgeous, btw. I can see why this book mostly gets 3 to 3.5 reviews.
Although Im a big of Marvel's Spider-man, and I've heard of Arana, I dont know very much about her comic book side. This book is meant for spider-man nerds that love and have read the comics. For me, I was a bit lost bc I haven't read the comics before. I find this to be the biggest downfall of the book. The author expects you to know the characters somewhat already.
Another thing I wished the author did was have a better villain or villain story. The villain was mediocre and could have had a great backstory, but there wasn't one.
I feel like this could have been better as a graphic novel. Overall the story was quite interesting. Nice action scenes. Although after reading this, I want a movie or story focused solely on Miguel O'Hara, Spiderman 2099. 😜😆

I love you Araña. I was never a Peter Parker fan. I didn't hate him, I enjoyed the 90s cartoon a lot! And I enjoyed Tom Holland and Tobey Maguire's Peter Parkers, and I lovvveeeeeeee the Spider-verse movies.
But Araña? I read and loved Anya Corazon. She was a fav and while I lost track of her, after her solo series ended, I still love the comics.
Meanwhile Spider-man 2099, Miguel, has become an obsession since Across the Spider-verse.did I read almost every fic on AO3 for the Miguel x Reader tag? Yes, yes I am. So together they are FUN. Anya is quippy and bantery and Miguel is a surly mess. I love it.
Its a fairly decent way to edge into the Spider-verse too, if like me, the idea of it is sooooo big. As a Marvel novel, Segura does a good job of balancing it without alienating veteran fans or new fans.
Please write more? Please??

The writing in this was just awkward. I don't know how else to put it. It felt like there were moments that were missing and other moments that just went on forever. The storyline was cool, but the execution left much to be desired.

I am always in the mood to read books based off of star wars or marvel and with the new movie I though I would give this one a go. Sadly, like other books I have read, this one wasn't as good as I thought it would be. I felt like it was bland, and predicable. I hate when that is the case.

One of the most moving and rounded-out portrayals of good ol’ Miguel I’ve ever read, and Anya is such a refreshing heroine.
Thrilled to put it on my classroom bookshelf.

*4.35 Stars
Notes: I read this mostly for Araña/Anya Corazon's character development, considering I am very much so attached to Miles's character from the movies (he is one of my favorite fictional characters). I really enjoyed seeing how detailed Anya's character was written as someone who has done research on her character from the comics, as I already knew of her before I found this book, so this was such a worthwhile story. This novel does contain some science fiction portions in it, given what the title is. There is also various content relating to other Spider-Man superheroes and villains in this book that seemed to have been researched thoroughly, so there is a lot of action in here.
This story does contain dark content in it as Anya has been through a lot and it is very noticeable to me, and there is some other content related to what seems to be a version of not good ptsd. From what I noticed, Anya maybe appears to have been through much more than the story has described, from how quickly she has adapted to things that happened to her in some of the chapters. Anya also knows how to speak Spanish like Miles does and is Bilingual, so she is also very, very smart.
The writing style was very well-paced and I was almost never bored. There was always something happening in almost every single chapter as everything was explained so very well, so I could read this with very minimal concentration. I thought that I might have a bit of a difficult time reading this given that I heard that it was dystopian, though I actually could finish this story in a few days.
I will admit that I originally did not know that much about Miguel's character before this, except from reading some comics about him which were complex, so I learned more about his character from this book. I could read this in around a week because of the sheer amount of research I have done related to Spiderverse characters.
I was glad that I could find a copy of this when I did, since it helped distract me from some things in my life right now. I would recommend it to any of those who are interested in the story, as it was very, very worth it for me to read.

Arana and Spider-Man 2099: Dark Tomorrow is an exciting addition to the growing collection of YA stories about Spider-Verse characters.
Dark Tomorrow has all the excitement and adventure that you would expect from a Spider-man novel. Arana has her own spidey origin story, which is very different to any others I’ve read. I will definitely be checking out her story in the comics because she was awesome!
It has duel POVs from Anya and Miguel O’Hara, which I really enjoyed. I actually ended up really liking both characters, which I did not expect after Across the Spider-Verse. But this book made you like Miguel O’Hara.
This story features time travel and there is a lot of jumping back and forth, which did get a bit confusing at times.
I recommend this for fans of Spider-Man and the Spider-Verse! Keep in mind it is written for kids and teens, but I think it’s a book all fans can enjoy! I hope we see more Arana!

It’s definitely set before the miles morales spider
Man movies if it’s in the same universe. This book has time travel involved. I liked reading more about Spider 2099 and his personality aside. I liked how all the characters interacted with each other although only three spider related superheroes were present in the book heavily including Anya. I liked it

Potential!
That's the word of the Spider-verse and I almost feel like there is a big reveal at some point of what it all means. But if you think about it and read this book as well as the companion movies as of late (yes I am also speaking of Madame Web as well) then you realize that the subject here is "what does it take to be a hero?" "Where does your potential take you next in the stream of time?" And! And, "what is our place in the scheme of things?"
Our Hero Anya Corazon is up to the task with her bravery and her loyalty to her family and friends. This book was so much the multi-verse story without so much the multi-verse (which could be exhausting by this point) . Don't get me wrong there is a *bit of Multi-versey stuff here but definitely not as much as the movies have been doing. There are classic cameos as usual which I thought was done quite uniquely. Overall highly recommend this title. I am now a big Fan of Araña and Spider-man 2099 - which is bad cause I tend to buy the action figures when I love a character too much. 🙂

very painfully bad writing and dialogue that feels like it was written by an annoying teenager that doesnt understand and hates spider-man 2099

This did the job. It wasn't particularly great, but it wasn't bad at all. The action scenes were solid (I'd say it they fully made up 50% of the book), but I think the characterizations and dialogue were a little weak. The characters seemed to find the answers they were looking for a tad too quickly/easily. But, overall I enjoyed it.

ARANA AND SPIDER-MAN 2099: DARK TOMORROW is something that has been on my TBR list for some time because I am a huge fan of Spider-Girl (which is not her codename but everyone calls her even in-universe). I am also a big fan of Miguel O'Hara even before he was made famous with SPIDER-MAN: BEYOND THE SPIDER-VERSE. So having two of my favorite slightly-obscure Spider-People do a collaboration together was something that I was all in on. I also decided to get the audiobook because I feel like comic book books are best consumed in audible form. Why? Because that's how I feel about my own superhero books.
The premise is that teenage Puerto Rican New Yorker, Anya Corazon, is living her normal life when she is invested with the power of the Spider Society by Miguel Legar. Trying to be a spider-heroine, Anya ends up finding herself way over her head very quickly. Anya manages to fight villains like Stegron (AKA a stegasaurous man who is like the Lizard but without the pathos) but is totally overwhelmed when she meets Nineties Clone Saga villain Judas Traveller. Judas is portrayed as something other than a joke and sends her flying through time into the far future of 2099. From there, Anya has to try to find her way back to the past as well as deal with Miguel O'Hara's depression.
This book seems like it was made for me because I was actually a Spider-Man fan from the time I was four years old until the Clone Saga briefly broke up my relationship with Peter Parker like a deal with Mephisto. There's a huge amount of in-jokes, references, Easter Eggs, and usage of characters that have largely been forgotten by the comics. I already mentioned Stegron and Judas Traveller but there's also the Sisterhood of the Wasp, Demogoblin, and even the Cult of the Scrier. These things are mostly throwaway characters and explained well-enough in the book but it's still a treat if you recognize any of them.
There's also a bit of humor from the fact that the book "redeems" Judas Traveller. Judas was a character that was wildly overpowered and poorly written during most of the Clone Saga to the point he was considered an embarrassment by Marvel. He was retconned from being an all-powerful Doctor Strange-esque sorcerer to being a mutant illusionist. The book uses the latter origin but portrays him as the genius and archvillain he was initially done as. He can also time travel, try to resurrect vampire gods, and ham it up with the best of them. Spider-Man has plenty of villains to spare and his D-listers can shine against poor Arana.
If I had any problems with the book, it is the fact that it goes a bit overboard with the references (and that's me saying this). Judas Traveler is welcome and so is Demogoblin. Maybe even the surprise inclusion of a certain multiversal vampire. However, by the time Ghost-Spider (AKA Spider-Gwen) shows up, it's gotten a bit too much. There's some of these guest characters that could have been cut for brevity. The book also ends in a deus ex machina that I could have done without.
In conclusion, I really enjoyed this book and I think the audiobook version is even better. Anya Corozon is a great character and Arana deserves more attention from the media. People already know Miguel O'Hara from the Spider-Verse movies but they know him as a semi-antagonistic character versus the kind of hero he was in the 2099 comics. Victoria Vilarreal does a fantastic job, especially with Anya.
The premise is that teenage Puerto Rican New Yorker, Anya Corazon, is living her normal life when she is invested with the power of the Spider Society by Miguel Legar. Trying to be a spider-heroine, Anya ends up finding herself way over her head very quickly. Anya manages to fight villains like Stegron (AKA a stegasaurous man who is like the Lizard but without the pathos) but is totally overwhelmed when she meets Nineties Clone Saga villain Judas Traveller. Judas is portrayed as something other than a joke and sends her flying through time into the far future of 2099. From there, Anya has to try to find her way back to the past as well as deal with Miguel O'Hara's depression.
This book seems like it was made for me because I was actually a Spider-Man fan from the time I was four years old until the Clone Saga briefly broke up my relationship with Peter Parker like a deal with Mephisto. There's a huge amount of in-jokes, references, Easter Eggs, and usage of characters that have largely been forgotten by the comics. I already mentioned Stegron and Judas Traveller but there's also the Sisterhood of the Wasp, Demogoblin, and even the Cult of the Scrier. These things are mostly throwaway characters and explained well-enough in the book but it's still a treat if you recognize any of them.
There's also a bit of humor from the fact that the book "redeems" Judas Traveller. Judas was a character that was wildly overpowered and poorly written during most of the Clone Saga to the point he was considered an embarrassment by Marvel. He was retconned from being an all-powerful Doctor Strange-esque sorcerer to being a mutant illusionist. The book uses the latter origin but portrays him as the genius and archvillain he was initially done as. He can also time travel, try to resurrect vampire gods, and ham it up with the best of them. Spider-Man has plenty of villains to spare and his D-listers can shine against poor Arana.

Anya Corazon was a normal Brooklyn teenager until gifted with amazing spider abilities. Araña is her code name, but she soon lost her mentor just as she lost her mother, and then found herself stranded in Nueva York of the future. Nueva York’s Spider-Man is billionaire CEO Miguel O’Hara, and her only hope of getting home. They discover that the enemies they face have connections to them both, and they'll have to work together.
There are so many variations of Spider-Man and those who also have spider-powers run the gamut. This novel starts with Anya already using her powers to try to save people in New York, but she doesn't have a mentor to teach her anymore, and there are bullies at school as well as the usual problems of tests, homework, and hiding her identity from her father and best friend so they won't get hurt. There is the Spider Society locked into battle with the Sisterhood of the Wasp, and Anya is soon caught up in that battle. It catapults her to 2106, where she meets Spider-Man 2099, Miguel O'Hara. He's hung up the suit after losing his family, but Anya needs help to get back to her own time and understand why her powers are fading. She's not ready to give up being a hero and wants to get revenge on Judas Traveller, the one that sent her to the future and had killed her mentor. He's also the one that helped destroy Miguel's world as Spider-Man.
With new superheroes, there's a lot of self-doubt and wondering how to balance the hero life with the everyday. We see that with Anya, and with Miguel we see the opposite side, where grief and loss led to burning out. The two were both affected by the Traveller, who stole their potential futures to bring back an evil God he worshipped. It's nothing less than the fate of the universe at stake, so Anya has to learn and grow confident, and Miguel must get his drive back. Even though Miguel is an adult, he still has the same emotional journey that many teens go through when recovering from disillusionment and loss. He's very relatable, as is Anya. The book is a fun look into these two spider heroes, with plenty of hope for the future after an intense battle.

Thanks to Disney Books and Marvel for a review copy of Araña and Spider-Man 2099: Dark Tomorrow!
From my review for Attractions magazine:
Fans itching to get back into the colorful, multiverse-spanning world of the Spider-Verse, there’s a new book to hold you over until “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse” comes out.
“Araña and Spider-Man 2099: Dark Tomorrow” by Alex Segura was released in early May with a bright and bold cover and the promise of a thrilling story starring the two most prominent Latino Spider-heroes in Marvel.
Araña, a Spider-Girl named Anya Corazon, is a Brooklyn teen struggling with normal teenage things like school, friends, and helping her investigative journalist Papi. When a run-in with a mysterious figure and a shady group in the park leaves her with a fatal wound, she’s saved by the mystery man’s ability to gift her with arcane spider powers.
That man, named Miguel, becomes her mentor and teaches her how to be a Spider-hero. But then Miguel is killed, and Anya returns to fighting neighborhood crime and D-list villains alone.
Spider-Man 2099, Miguel O’Hara (not the same Miguel) comes into play when an ancient artifact blasts Anya into the future after the main villain’s first plan goes haywire. There, in the year 2105, Anya meets a Spider-Man who’s hung up his suit and carries around years of trauma and baggage instead.
The main story of “Araña and Spider-Man 2099: Dark Tomorrow” is all about courage, potential, the power of teamwork, and the importance of community. Both Araña and Spider-Man 2099 have to learn that while there’s a great responsibility that comes with their great powers, they don’t always have to do it alone.
“Araña and Spider-Man 2099: Dark Tomorrow” exists in its own continuity, which means author Segura had the creative freedom to play around with these beloved characters and their stories.
It may not exist in the same timeline or universes as “Across the Spider-Verse,” but the young adult book is an excellent introduction to Anya Corazon and Miguel O’Hara as well as the culture of the Spider community.
“Araña and Spider-Man 2099: Dark Tomorrow” is a thrilling and dizzying ride into the multiverse of Spider-persons and their quirky villains. But it remains grounded in the quintessential Spider-man morals: great power, great responsibility, and great heart.

Life is Weird Enough
Alex Segura dives into the Spider-Verse with Araña, and Spider-Man 2099 in a story about family, struggling with responsibilities, and finding purpose. Anya Corazon is determined to live up to all her parents hard work, by taking advantage of all the opportunities she is given. She wants to make a difference, but is still struggling with how, and with what. When she gains an intricate tattoo with the powers of a spider, she was not expecting how much trouble balancing her life, and duties as a superhero would be. Powers she is now responsible for. When a mysterious figure called the Traveller appears, she will need all the help she can get.
Miguel Legar a member of the Spider Society is being hunted by The Sisterhood of the Wasp, when Anya stumbles upon him. The Sisterhood knows her missing mother, and Anya wants to know why. This is the beginning of Anya’s superhero origin story as she begins to understand what being Araña, the “seventh most important Spider-Person in New York City,” really means. The idea of destiny does not sit well with her. Anya is used to deciding what she does and why. Being a superhero is not glamorous, it is hard work, and takes Anya away from her commitments to her friends and Papi.
Alex Segura jumps back in forth between memories of current and past events in a train-of-thought way. Emphasizes the fear, sacrifice, and hard decisions that most superheroes have to face. As Anya repeats her love of helping others with her new strength. Living a double life means secrets, missed commitments, and complicated relationships. Anya has to face them all, and the guilt of failing to juggle all her responsibilities. Her greatest test is looming, as she fights to do good when everything is falling apart.

Young Spider-hero Anya Corazon, a.k.a. Araña already has a tough time balancing life and heroics, but things have gotten even harder since her mentor died. Then, while trying to stop the theft of an artifact, Araña finds herself thrown into the future. At least Spider-Man 2099, Miguel O’Hara is around. Unfortunately, he retired a while ago and is reluctant to suit back up. The two heroes need to step up because the stolen artifact is being put to use in a scheme that might just spell the end of the world in all timelines.
While I am a big fan of both of these heroes, the reality is that they are both far from A-list (though Spider-Man 2099’s profile has been boosted by the release of Across the Spider-Verse). That means the novel spends a good chunk of itself trying to catch reader up on who these characters are. Expect a lot of exposition and reflection on past events and a much slower start.
Outside of the info dumps, the heroes are likable and the plot is a classic superhero story about overcoming self doubts in order to save the world. The novel makes good use of the Spider-Man corner of the Marvel franchise, but again, it straddles a bit of a strange line between needing to explain aspects and hoping readers will simply roll with what is being included. I, personally, enjoyed the use of some obscure elements, though the use of one villain felt a bit off and the comic history between other characters had to be ignored.
This is an interesting but slow read for fans of these characters that is aimed more at the middle/high school reader. For those new to the characters, there is still a lot to like, but there are stretches of the novel where interest levels may wane.

The Review
This was such an incredible read. The author did an amazing job of world-building and making this corner of the Marvel universe his own. The action and adventure of the narrative were greatly fleshed out in this novel, and the story of a young woman thrust into an ancient war between two organizations and forced to become a part of a grand destiny felt fresh and unique to this world, giving a new voice to the Spider-verse as it were.
For me, the heart of this narrative was in both Anya's and Miguel's stories. The shared feeling of loss and fear of responsibility that they face in going after the conspiracy that ties them together were great themes to explore through these characters. Getting to see some more Hispanic culture and representation with these characters was amazing as well, and their story is something that would be great to see explored in future MCU-related storylines in the future.
The Verdict
Memorable, action-packed, and entertaining, author Alex Segura’s “Araña and Spider-Man 2099: Dark Tomorrow” is a must-read YA sci-fi and fantasy novel and a brilliant addition to the Marvel Universe as a whole. The twists and turns in the narrative, the shared history of family loss and surprise betrayals that both Miguel and Anya experience, and the imagery all brought this narrative to life in a brilliant way.

It is with this book I nickname Alex Segura the "Oscar Issac Whisperer." The 1st book by Alex I read was called Star Wars: Poe Dameron: Free Fall. It was about Poe Dameron, Oscar's Star Wars character. Arana and Spider-Man 2099: Dark Tomorrow heavily features Miguel O'Hara, AKA Spider-Man 2099. Oscar voiced him in the post-credit scene of 2018's Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse. And then the character had a bigger role in last year's Spider-Man: Across the Spiderverse. I rated the Poe book 3 stars when I read it all the way back in 2020. Now I've rated this book 4 stars. I wouldn't say I prefer Miguel to Poe, or think Miguel is a better character than Poe. They're both great characters, because Oscar Issac is such a great actor. But it's just that I thought Dark Tomorrow was better book than Free Fall.
You'll notice that Spider-Man 2099 is one of two titular characters for this book. The other is Arana, AKA Anya Corazon. I was less familiar with her compared to Miguel. But after reading this book, I developed a real fondness for her. All in all, this was a very cool book.

This is a cross-over, of sorts, as are most novels about the Spider-verse at this point. Anya has spider-powers, and calls herself Araña when in costume - and like the original Spider-Man before her, she is juggling high school with crime fighting. When chasing a group of art thieves one day, she gets too lose to an unusual artifact - and finds herself alone in the future. From there, things get a little strange (as if they weren't strange already).
This is a fast-paced book, reminiscent of the speed of the comic book that started it all, and representative of the genre of novels - both graphic and text - that have grown up around the various people who have discovered Spider-Man type powers within themselves. Those who enjoy this genre should definitely read this book. Suitable for middle school and up.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Read
August 1, 2023ngl read this just for Miguel, that shocking beautiful angsty Dorito (iykyk)
Wasn't expecting much, but it actually surprised me with how much I liked it. The plot was pretty good, and I liked the inclusion of multiple different narrators. Anya was a little annoying at first but grew on me. Lyla was a highlight of the story, especially the interactions between her and Miguel. Extra points for that scene at the end where Miguel calls Lyla Traveller's whole plotline was ok but the vampire dude was nerfed pretty badly, which I wasn't a fan of.
I wasn't a fan of the writing itself, either. There was too much repetition of phrases (example: "and it seemed... old?" "it was... confusing?" and the same structure appears like three times in one page) which always ticks me off. But otherwise, a worth-it read for any Spider-Man fan. Or Miguel O'Hara fan, for that matter.

A fun book with not a whole lot of complexity or deep character moments.
Anya is a likeable protagonist who's just quirky enough to be memorable, Miguel feels like an amalgamation of his Spiderverse & early 90s counterparts, not a terrible take but not revolutionary.
I appreciate the use of Judas Traveller as a villain (despite being overall quite bland) due to how obscure he is. Always love seeing random Spidey villains get the spotlight.
The book sometimes feels like it's rushing to get ahead, the death of Anya's mentor happens in between chapters and we hear about it second-hand. The action is fun but I feel that particularly in the finale is a tad forgettable.
When the different versions of villains and heroes appeared it became cluttered and generic like any other multiverse/time travel storyline, Miguel fighting Osborn Goblin was a fun aside though.
It's a fun and solid read but not quite my flavour.

This book had a lot in it....great story. Anya Corazon is reeling from her mothers disappearance but she carries on as a superhero at night and attending school during the day. She's new to these powers she has and is learning how to deal with them and keep her life going. She's hiding her secret identity from her friends and her father. She is strong and determined. I loved her character.
She finds a mentor in Miguel but she loses him too soon. She finds herself in a future world where a new/different Miguel is but he doesn't seem interested in helping her. Confused and lost, tormented by a horrible entity bent on evil she keeps fighting. Fighting to get back home, fighting against evil, fighting to save the world. Her courage even when things are most bleak is empowering. She is willing to face death to do justice and help those in need. She's independent but knows when to ask and receive help. Will evil win? Not without a fight.
Very well written book.
