Just one book this week...
In the last issue, Miles' secret meeting with Gwen Stacy and Aunt May was interrupted by Captain America who was only there to tell Miles that he couldn't be Spider-Man. Through the conversation it becomes apparent that he is acting out of fear that what happened to Peter will happen to Miles and Cap blames himself for Peter's death. Despite arguments against him, Captain America tells Miles that he will stop being Spider-Man or he will arrest him and call his parents. He then leaves, having gotten an urgent call from elsewhere in the city. After he's gone, Aunt May advises Miles to do what he thinks is right and gives him Peter's web shooters. Miles decides to go prove Cap wrong. It takes Miles some time to get the web swinging thing down (and it's pretty funny) but he eventually does and heads towards the sound of battle. When he arrives, Cap is getting his butt handed to him by the Rhino. Miles has some fun with the web-shooters, but then zeroes in on the control panel on the back of Rhino's suit. He sticks his fingers in the small slot he finds there and unleashes one of his "venom blasts" which causes the suit to overload and ends the fight very quickly. As they stare at the smoking remains of the Rhino suit (did he just kill the Rhino?!?) Cap says, "Okay. But you need training." to which Miles replies, "Oh, I know."
This book is consistently good-great as Brian Bendis is at his best writing Spidey. David Marquez is doing an admirable job filling in for Sarah Pichelli while she handles the art duties on the Spider-Men miniseries. The ONLY thing I don't like about his art is his take on the Cap costume. I mentioned this in the last issue's review. It looks like he has shoeboxes for shoulder pads!!! Other than that, the art is very good. This is one of the best books I read every month.
