Spider-Man 2099 Archive

I wonder if this post will suffice as some semblance of an apology/mea culpa from me to Peter David. For those who don’t know what I’m talking about, around the time Spider-Man 2099 #9 came out, I voiced some frustrations with the fact that David’s initial narrative/plot from the

You know what many of the Spider-books have been collectively missing for nearly a year now? A compelling villain that leaves the reader breathless as he or she speculates how the hero (whether it be Spider-Man or someone else) can possibly overcome the odds and succeed. Which is just

I wonder if Peter David is experiencing Déjà vu all over again. After months of speculation and build-up, David is finally back on a Spider-office ongoing with the relaunch of Spider-Man 2099. The entire premise of the story is built around Miguel O’Hara being trapped in the past, learning

Peter David Spider-Man books don’t have a happy history of avoiding the influence of larger company-wide or title-wide “events.” During the original Spider-Man 2099 run, the book would intermittingly have to break from its larger narrative to make room for storylines that traversed all the 2099 books.

Despite the fact that I’ve been one of Spider-Man 2099’s biggest cheerleaders since the series rebooted over the summer, in the interest of fairness and objectivity, I will absolutely be critical if I feel that an issue misses the mark. To that point, while Spider-Man 2099 #4 is is
