Spider-Man 2099 Omnibus Vol. 1

Product Information

And sadly after this, there's not much more 2099 till later 2000's and from what I understand that's Miguel stuck in the present time, not the 2099 time period. Quite a few superheroes had abusive upbringings, but I feel like it's more developed here when you have Conchata taking out her own anger and disappointment (at herself, at Tyler, at George) on Miguel, thus giving us layers of trauma and abuse. Miguel and the people in his life serve as a compelling drama while he figures out his new responsibility as the herald of a new heroic age.

At the time of writing this review, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is still in theaters, and has introduced a new generation to Miguel’s character for the first time.

Miguel O'Hara, his DNA rewritten in an attempt to escape his employer Alchemax, has gained amazing powers - and become the new Spider-Man! On top of that the art is freaking fantastic, the first 25 or so issues being done by Rick Leonardi, and other artist later come on board to also help build this fantastic future like world that somehow works so well in a cyberpunk like setting. Certain items can take longer to source than the estimated week, particularly during busy trading periods and may take longer to arrive at our warehouse.

With a job at Parker Industries, a stable relationship, and uncertain of what impact his actions will have on the future, Miguel O'Hara has decided that it's time to hang up the webs and retire from being Spider-Man.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. That's some real dark stuff there, but it's not presented in an angsty manner, but reflecting the inner workings of a man who is at his wit's end and can barely hold on. 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.

And as frustrating as he finds it, he knows that since he's able to do these amazing things no one else can there are people who look to him for help. Miguel O'Hara is flawed character that undergoes his own unique suffering and hardships to become a better person through his time as Spider-Man. This sets the tone, and overall feel to Spider-Man in such a marvelous way that I can't help but give tons of credit to. 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!The 2099 titles are very accessible, because the continuity is self-contained and readers get to experience the characters' beginnings. But when a jealous co-worker wants revenge he instead injects Miguel with the project they've been working on to give similar powers as Spider-Man. I will say the introduction of Venom was well done, and while the reveal obvious, was a nice strong arc. But David then spends the arcs (outside the crossover) developing relationships and building emotional attachment while still feeling related to a Spider-Man classic feel in a sense.

A shame to end like that considering how good it was before, but also nice that the series was picked back up later on, which I'm very excited to read when it come out in omnibus next year. As mentioned in the other review at the time of writing this, there are unresolved threads (bummer) due to, likely, a lot of the Spidey titles winding down and with reboots and all.I absolutely cannot wait to read the other modern series in Omnibus vol 2, which I have been putting off until after I finished the classic series. Read more about the condition New: An item that is still in its original shrink wrap from the manufacturer and the original manufacturer’s seal (if applicable) has not been removed. There has been a lot of omnis coming out recently so I had to pick and choose and I saw the regular cover get hard to find so I decided ok today when I get superior Omni I’ll get 2099 dm cover as well.
