Spider-Man #8 Review

Writer: Brian Michael Bendis / Artist: Nico Leon / Marvel Comics Finally, we get back to that fucking good-good this issue. We got Luke Cage and Jessica Jones appearing in this issue of Spider-Man and it is glory from start to finish. Bendis’ is having Miles go through a crash course of keeping-your-identity-secret-101. That’s been a major issue for me as well cause Miles stay having his mask off like it’s 7 O’clock on the dot and he in the drop top cruisin’ the streets. I’m surprised his shit ain’t up on CNN, man. Peter Parker did that in Civil War I so you wouldn’t have to Miles. Bendis really has Luke and Jessica steal the show this issue, we get so much insight into their parenting style with their own child Danielle that it’s really unique to see them interacting with a kid that isn’t theirs. This was easily my favorite part of the issue and felt like we getting back to Bendis when he on his real rap raw comic book storytelling shit. Jessica telling Miles everything due to the unique situation of knowing his secret and being hired by his Grams is hilarious. Nico Leon murdered the entirety of this issue visually as well. We see Miles freaking out as he learns about how and why Jones came to discover his identity and that’s what really makes this issue. We see a huge load of facial expressions via stress, anger, and frustrations through Mile’s mask which is no easy feat to pull off. I loved it, it felt like Nico fit on with this book instantly as well with no rough transit…
