Spider-Man 2099 Omnibus Vol. 1

Product Information

As you can probably tell with my individual volume ratings that I really enjoyed 80% of Spider-Man 2099. Spider-Man 2099, Lady Spider, and the six-armed Spider-Man are on the run for their lives from the dangerously ravenous Inheritors!

But he’s become stranded in the present day, when the omnipresent future corporation Alchemax has only just been formed – and Miguel has a chance to stop its corruption before it starts! He also uses metafiction frequently, usually to humorous effect, as in his work on the comic book Young Justice. I know there was a fair deal of disappointment over Miguel taking the seat as CEO of Alchemax, but with the way things were turning out in the book, if Peter David had been allowed to keep going at it, we might've seen a deepening realization in Miguel that this was never going to work, even with him having good intentions. He doesn't harbor any particular love for the "legend" that was Spider-Man from the past, and he pretends - either to those around him, or to himself - that he isn't much of a nice guy.

Almost all of its elements are indicative of that period for science-fiction - which is, in essence, exactly what this series is. The pre-loved books are carefully cleaned and maintained offering a wide variety of general and specialist titles from children's to adults.But the accident couldn't have happened to a better candidate, and Miguel learns that he really does have a natural urge to do the right thing. There is a 5 part cross over around the first third of the book that does go on way too long and drag down the overall enjoyment for me. So he decided to break them down from the outside, while at the same time dealing with villains, and try to help the downtown levels of New York where the poor and broken lived. Spinning out of the pages of Amazing Spider-Man and Spider-Verse - the biggest Spider-Man event ever!

Interesting enough we start to dig into Miguel's childhood at the end of each issue giving us usually a 6-7 page special.

Peter David didn't just make a copy of Peter Parker and put him in 2099; instead, he makes a new character with his own personality, quirks, ego (yes, ego! I will say the introduction of Venom was well done, and while the reveal obvious, was a nice strong arc. Shame to read this on the heels of Spider-Verse's inevitable replacement of Miguel's character for almost all public consciousness, alas.
