Brittney MorrisMarvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales - Wings of Fury

I really enjoyed this second Spider-Man video game prequel book! I love the universe created with the Marvel’s Spider-Man (2018) video game and this book expands on the universe nicely with great references to the game that feel organic. It was easy/enjoyable to read as I gear up to play Spider-Man: Miles Morales very soon. I would recommend it to any fan of Spider-Man in general. Definitely check out Spider-Man: Hostile Takeover as well!

Liked the overall story. 10/10

My son loved it!

Purchase for my 11 year old grandson and he loves the book.

Great prequel to the Miles Morales game. Some minor inconsistencies detailing what happened in the original Marvel's Spider-Man game and the lore, but great story nonetheless.

I'm ready to start reading this before I play the game soon on PS5 when I get one

The canonicity of this story is already in question despite it being the “official” prequel.I bought this book thinking (based on the summary) that this was going to a fun yet action packed story of Miles trying to find his footing as Spider-man while being trained by Peter. While it has it’s good moments, most of the story doesn’t line up with the events of the Miles Morales game, down to small things like suit inconsistencies (He’s not supposed to have his signature black and red suit yet, since he hasn’t made it) to big things like a city wide threat that was too large of an undertaking/experience for this to be the same Miles that’s still in training and inexperienced in the game. This novel, unlike Hostile Takeover which could be read and enjoyed if one wanted extra story context, is not very self-contained. Even still, with how major the final event is, it somehow manages to have no impact on the game. Thankfully so, since this story reads like a bad fan story with preachy undertones.(Spoilers)The major plot with Vulture having created some bird zombie virus was not believable, and neither was the fact that Miles’ DNA + web fluid was somehow the cure. An event this major is somehow never mentioned anywhere else since.I could have gotten over how ridiculously large and insane this bird crisis was, were it not for another thing in the book that really put me off it.Miles’ “misunderstanding with the law” turned out to be an instance of him being wrongly accused by an officer for theft based on the color of his skin. Now, this scene/plot line wouldn’t have bothered me nearly as much if they hadn’t turned it into Miles thinking he had to learn how to be “black spider-man” and not “spider-man” and that “Peter doesn’t understand”. Not only do I find it insulting to the character that they want to reduce 50% of his conflict in the book to being about his race, but it’s frankly dumb. It was annoying and heartbreaking to read. While I understand his background and culture is one of the things that makes him interesting and different (I’m half Puerto Rican too!!!), the Miles we meet in the game doesn’t have the urge to remind everyone or himself that he’s “black-spiderman”. He’s just “spider-man”, one of two, part of a team, still learning the ropes and trying to be a good hero. I don’t understand why when there’s a character of color we have to focus so much on the color of their skin. Why can’t he just be Spider-man? Why couldn’t the author just let Miles be himself like he is in the game without shoe-horning in scenes like that? That scene where he was mistaken as the thief could have just as easily been about just that. He was mistaken as the thief. Just like Spider-man and other superheroes and dozens of other characters have been in various forms of media.As for the action sequences, they were confusing to read, and most of the time it was hard to visualize what the author was describing. It frequently lost my attention.For the positives, Miles’s interactions with his mom , Ganke, and Peter were very well done and enjoyable to read.Overall, I’m not very pleased with the book, and glad that it’s over. Sony or Insomniac should have paid more attention to the story.

Set in Spanish Harlem, Miles Morales and his mother are adjusting to the loss of Miles’s father.When the Vulture escapes prison, he has the help of his granddaughter.The plot involves nanobots, and Peter Parker/Spider-Man

very good value for the book it's a great. story and the details of the cover really makes you want to read.

When I picked this up I thought it would simply be a prequel to the game coming out, but its so much more. It holds a message that's so incredibly important today and not something I will forget anytime soon. Its true that the world is a mess, and it can feel so heavy for so many of us. At the end of the day it's impossible for one person to make it right, but we can try to make it better.

The condition of the book was alright there was some bends and stuff but the inside was perfect condition...I actually read the full novel and I really liked it it's perfect for Spiderman fans ..it's tell the story before the miles morals PS4 game

Bei diesem Buch handelt es sich um eine sehr kurzweilige Vorgeschichte zum neuen Spiel "Spider-Man: Miles Morales". Wer bis hierhin gekommen ist, weiß das vermutlich sowieso.Spoilerfrei: Die Geschichte spannt einen kleinen Bogen zwischen dem Ende des ersten Spiels und diesem. Fans der Reihe werden schon einmal den neuen Figuren bekannt gemacht, wobei davon letztendlich eigentlich nur Miles' bester Freund Ganke im Spiel vorkommt. Tatsächlich findet sich inhaltlich im Grunde gar nichts im Spiel wieder, was sich hier jetzt vielleicht negativer anhört, als es eigentlich ist. Denn die Geschichte an sich ist wirklich unterhaltsam. Actionreich, humorvoll und mit ganz viel Herz. Ein temporeiches Buch, welches man durchaus schnell gelesen hat (auch natürlich aufgrund des mit unter 300 Seiten sehr knappen Umfangs).

Great read for older kids and young adults. Thoughtful book for maybe 12 plus readers
