A solid good book - good story, good art, good pacing. Miles learning to be Spider-man but being different from Peter Parker. Miles meeting Captain America. There's just a lot of good stuff in this one. And a good mixture as well. Not sure how much re-reading it would stand up to though, I guess it depends on where it went next.

Don't judge me for being all over comics lately - I bought a subscription, I wanna make the best of it.
So, this story is about Miles Morales, a black-Latino kid who became Spider-Man after Peter Parker died. In the previous two volumes, he came to grips with his new powers and responsibilities and he tried to balance real life and superhero-ing.
In this volume, his uncle, the supervillain The Prowler, discovers Miles' identity and decides to blackmail him so he can use him in the world of crime. Miles eventually gets out of that (mostly through tragic accident, rather than anything clever), and then he gets thrown into what was probably the crossover event of the year: a battle between S.H.I.E.L.D. and Hydra, full of superheroes and things that aren't very well explained. For some reason, Captain America becomes the President of the United States, which I assume makes sense if you follow his comics.
All's well that ends well, and of course all ends well.

oh man, the ending to the uncle aaron storyline was killer. although i have to ask, when did miles' america turn into some secessionist police state? like that literally came out of nowhere. 0_o also captain america, what a dick, it's disorienting to read jerk!america after growing so fond of mcu's take on steve rogers. but whatever, miles remains stellar and he's why i read this comic so. 4 stars

Spiderman es ¿un asesino? Después de ayudar a su tío en contra de El Escorpión, Miles ya no quiere ser parte de el equipo de su tío, pero este lo amenaza con descubrir su identidad.
Después de una pelea lo culpan de asesinarlo, quiere dejar el manto de el trepamuros pero luego May y Gwen lo hacen reflexionar cambiando su mentalidad y quererse convertir en un Ultimate.
Steve Rodgers rechaza esto ya que considera que Miles es muy pequeño, pero después de acontecimientos, se traga sus palabras.
La parte más floja es el último arco, ver a Miles en la guerra no fue tan bueno como supuse.

Ever since Ultimate Spider-Man relaunched (sorta) with Miles Morales, I've been shocked at how rejuvenated the entire storyline seems. The post-Ultimatum landscape is interesting in itself, and there's a lot of crazy things going on in the Ultimate universe that finally hit in this volume, but in terms of its own story, where we're seeing Miles run into similar problems as Peter Parker combined with the Ultimate universe's own Civil War, this is probably the best we've seen the series in some time. Definitely worth jumping in on.

i refused to read the ultimates divided we fall event, so some of this was disjointed and hard to follow. but the miles focused stuff was still great, and i’m excited to see where the rest of the series goes now that the crossover is done.

This series is so fun! I sorta wish Miles Morales was our Spidey in the MCU. This trade kinda gets blind-sided by the 'Divided We Fall, United We Stand' crossover, but even though crossovers are generally not my favourite, this one was pretty enjoyable.

I love his entrance into the Ultimates. I feel like this is all the great stuff of Peter Parker but in a newer tale.
