Pablo Leon gives texture and just the right amount of fun details in Mile’s surrounding both on earth and in spaceships. Reynolds because Stranger’s outrage at the crime and despair that humans cause is actually relatable. Weaknesses: It's helpful to be familiar with the first book; this was a bit confusing at first even though I had read that one. L'histoire m'a semblé un peu difficile à suivre en raison des personnages et de la trame des événements, car il semblait y avoir un préalable permettant de mieux comprendre le contexte.

I barely remember the girls that Miles has to team up with from the first volume in this mini series (I do remember the guy who also helps), so it took me a moment to catch on to what was going on. Our favorite Afro-Latino superhero Miles Morales is back and settling a bit uncomfortably into his role as Spider-Man. Despite Miles’ initial distrust of Trinity, the two quickly get over their past interactions and I liked the overarching theme that even people who were once enemies can come together for the greater good. Like Shock Waves, the characters are likeable, some of the art is eye-catching (while some is a little underdeveloped, like Vex suddenly being drawn as a boxy old woman near the end), there's pathos evoking drama, but some of the plot is a little predictable/too easily resolved.Yesterday a parent came over to tell me how impressed she was by the book fair and that you did a fabulous job of selling the books to the children first. There was just the right amount of choice to suit everyone without being overwhelming and I received comments from parents and staff about the quality of books offered compared to previous sales which have always been based around current crazes and well known celebrity authors. Miles becomes even more personally involved when members of his family, including his beloved Uncle Aaron, are frozen by the video game.

Miles and Ganke interacting does all of the heavy lifting in this one, their scenes together being really the only enjoyable ones. Stranger Tides also gives Miles more experience of being a superhero however, no other “popular” superheroes show up just yet to partner with him. I also found the whole thing very light weight, and he literally punches the bad guy once and it is over.

Your selection was perfect for our children and what really made the difference was your ability to engage with each child, discuss their interests and help them to choose a suitable book based on your extensive knowledge of the books you were selling. Stranger Tides for the most part was a wholesome read and there are some excellent sections about family and redemption that parents will love. He is a breath of fresh air, adding nuance and depth to Marvel super-heroes and Stranger Tides will certainly build on that reputation. Not everyone who is frozen is playing video games; some, like Miles' uncle, are accidentally exposed. Miles Morales is still getting used to being the new Spider-Man, when he is thrown into confrontation with his greatest opponent yet.

A new supervillain in town, The Stranger, has hijacked a video game release and is using it to freeze people all over the world. Working to unmask the Stranger (who freezes humanity because he doesn’t like human behavior) Miles and Trinity get help from Miles’ bestie Ganke and a familiar face from school, Mr.We didn't realise this was a sequel, and there were quite a few characters making appearances who we didn't know.
