   None No current Talk conversations about this book.  AnnesLibrary | Jan 28, 2024 |   Trigger warnings: N/A? Score: Seven points out of ten. This review can also be found on The StoryGraph. I enjoyed this first book in a new comic series, and I can't wait for more instalments. I wonder if there's a relation to Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse, which I haven't watched, but it looks good. The main character, Miles, had shortcomings and struggles, but he overcame them, and he had some strengths as well, which I liked. The main complication was the natural disaster in Puerto Rico, and I enjoyed seeing him try to cope with the situation and balance his regular and superhero life. The villain was a little bit on the mysterious side, and I forgot what her name was since I didn't know that much about her, but more information could be revealed in the next book in the series. If you like stories about realistic superheroes, this is for you. Update: I have read the second book in the series. It was okay. There might be a third book. I have also watched the sequel to Into the Spiderverse called Across the Spiderverse. That was only okay.

When a pair of criminals with surprising superpowers of their own elude Miles, he is left with a mysterious glowing blue rock, which his new classmate Kyle recognizes because her dad, an employee of Serval Industries, has one as well. But now her dad is missing, and Kyle will stop at nothing to find him—and Miles realizes that the glowing blue rock has something to do with the recent earthquakes in Puerto Rico. Miles is pulled in many directions but has a supportive community, including his parents, his roommate Ganke, Ms. Marvel, Squirrel Girl, and the other Spider-Man, Peter Parker.
