I like the costume design for this new villain, Rabble. Cool stuff.

The mentor/student dynamic between Miles and Misty Knight is endearing, and becomes more so as the issues progress. I feel like we don’t see a female mentor and a male student as often as we should.

The stakes for this story are also nice and high, with the tension, again, amping up as the issues progress. I’m not as familiar with Miles’ adventures in the main Marvel Universe, as opposed to the Ultimate Universe. But he’s definitely in good hands right now.

This issue goes by pretty fast. But it does give us a backstory for our villain, who we see on the cover. It’s a pretty good one, too. One that, in hindsight, I’m surprised wasn’t thought of sooner.

A thought has stuck with me through these last three issues: Does New York City really need two Spider-Men? Couldn’t Miles have branched out to another city? Like say, Milwaukee? (Which happens to be the closest major city to me.) I mean, Milwaukee could be ripe with supervillains! All dying for a chance to steal that statue of the Fonz…

There’s a bee-themed villain in this issue called Bumbler, and he hits Miles with a move he calls the “Honey Punch.” I really shouldn’t have laughed as hard as I did…

I consider myself more of a casual Marvel fan. And by casual Marvel fan standards, I probably couldn’t have asked for much more from Miles Morales: Spider-Man #1. The art in particular is very strong. It’s got an edgy quality to it that compliments a street-level Spider-Man very well.

This is a solid jumping-on point for new readers, as any good first issue should be.
