Spider-Man #15 Review

You know how sometimes the stories where a person finds out a superhero’s identity are all happiness and rainbows. Yeah, that’s not happening here.

Spider-Man #15 (Marvel Comics)

Spider-Man #15 Review

Listen to the latest episode of our weekly comics podcast!

Observations

  • I could legit read an entire comic of Miles and Jefferson have a poignant/slightly awkward father and son talk.
  • Ha! Get wrecked, Leap Frog.
  • Rio Morales does not mess around.
  • Dang. Miles is just going to go for it I guess.
  • That…did not go very well…and I totally see Rio’s point, too.
  • Miles has some pretty awesome friends.
  • Ugh. You suck, Maria Hill.
  • GET IT, GANKE!
  • The Verdict

    Not a whole lot of action, but still a great issue that fleshes out (and also twists up) some major parts of Miles’ personal life.

    The art has a few panels that look a bit too repetitive, but other than that, Szymon Kudranski’s work is stunning. I’d really like to see what he can do with a script that has some more motion and/or fight sequences.

    Script-wise, Bendis’ dialogue between Miles and his dad is great. I also love that Rio’s discovery about her family isn’t just dismissed by her as something cool or to be irrationally afraid of. Instead, she reacts in a manner that is genuine, smart, and heart-breaking.

    Add in a great moment for Ganke (at least I hope that was what was being hinted at the end), and Spider-Man #15 looks like it’s about to take the momentum from the Sitting in a Tree crossover and keep things going strong.

    Is It Good?
    Not a whole lot of action, but still a great issue that fleshes out (and also twists up) some major parts of Miles’ personal life.
    The artwork by Szymon Kudranski is superb.
    Bendis’ dialogue between Miles and his dad is great.
    Rio's reaction to her discovery about her family's secrets is exceptionally well done...and heartbreaking.
    Not much action
    Some of the panels are a bit repetitive.
    8.5
    Great
