Spider-Man #239 Review

Writer: Brian Michael Bendis / Artist: Oscar Bazaldua / Marvel Comics Okay, now we’re getting into the nitty gritty!

Miles is a man with a plan, and after last week’s screw up, he needed to come up with his own way to tackle Uncle Aaron and his super-powered team of criminals. What he does is not only smart but somewhat different from how Peter has approached fighting them in the past. Then again, we live in a very different Marvel universe and it’s nice to see Miles use that to his advantage.

Now, what I am disappointed in is my man Ganke. How you go from best friend goals to selling Miles out to your girl? Loose lips sink ships homie. If you haven’t been keeping with the saga that is Ganke, he accidentally told his girl Dankia that Miles is Spider-Man. You know, the girl that runs a video blog on everything Spider-Man and may or may not have sold his name to the highest bidder. I know Miles is not exactly an expert at keeping his mask on but c’mon son! Rule number one of being a superhero’s best friend – keep my name out your mouth. We sadly don’t get much dissension between Sinister Six this week. However, what we do get is the team addressing the problem of the traitor among them. I do like that this variation of the team keeps it real with one another. While other versions of the team are usually out to get Spider-Man, this one is all about the money. That’s enough …
