Miles Morales: Stranger Tides (Original Spider-Man Graphic Novel)

Product Information

The actual ending felt tacked on and the Stranger is beat in no time even though he's a Fantastic Four level villain.

Miles (now as Spider-Man) is soon tangled in a web of plans created by the Stranger, a powerful, superintelligent extraterrestrial with plans to kill half of Earth’s population in the name of ‘justice’. Strengths: Miles is a fun character who is a bit ambivalent about being a superhero, which seems on target for young people today. After Miles learns of his destiny to somehow defeat the Stranger against impossible odds, he… doesn’t really do much until being knocked out by Vex, Trinity’s former best friend, who works for the Stranger.he ‘freezes’ half of Earth’s population, and when they unfreeze, they will be hypnotized and will try to wipe out the other unfrozen half of the population. 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. You guys were so fab and Dawn was such a lovely presence in the schools - I will absolutely be in touch next time I'm in your neck of the woods. I’m giving it 2 bonus stars for the boys and the open discourse about mental health, since both are reasons for me to encourage my students to pick it up.

Most middle grade readers won't have read as many Miles Morales books as I have, so they likely will be able to quickly pick up on what last happened to Miles and who all the characters are. What I really think: Jason Reynolds' novel about Miles Morales' Spider Man has circulated well, but I haven't bought Shock Waves yet. The plot is fast-paced and builds towards the inevitable final confrontation between our hero and The Stranger.

I actually do this fairly often though and I'm usually able to remember enough that I can understand the story but it was hard for this one.

After the Stranger's plan is revealed, miles spends more time being frustrated than trying to save the world. Not everyone who is frozen is playing video games; some, like Miles' uncle, are accidentally exposed. We didn't realise this was a sequel, and there were quite a few characters making appearances who we didn't know.

I really like that the author is African American and my 9yo loves these books and is obsessed with Miles Morales. I also found the whole thing very light weight, and he literally punches the bad guy once and it is over. Our favorite Afro-Latino superhero Miles Morales is back and settling a bit uncomfortably into his role as Spider-Man. He’s got really strong powers, which kind of make him boring as a hero, because if he ever gets in a pickle, he can just reverse time with his light speed and beat all the bad guys up.So much of Miles' responsibilities come down to bucking what his personal desires are (hanging with friends and video games) and sacrificing for the greater good.
