Miles Morales: Shock Waves by Justin A. Reynolds

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


I'm glad to see stories for Miles out there because I find him endearing. The art in this was fun. I would have loved to have rated it higher but there are some stumbling blocks for me in this story. Mostly it felt rushed and there probably were page count restrictions on it.

An earthquake has devastated Puerto Rico, Miles's mother's homeland and a place where much of their family still lives. He wants to help by organizing a fundraiser but there is something hinky about the biggest contributor. Worse, Miles has gotten tangled up with a young lady that he's attracted to but she has a secret.

And honestly that's more what the story is about, this floundering love story. The attention to sub plots and pacing felt off. The runs down the usual well trod paths adding to the issues. Still I'm glad I read it. It's worth the time.

I too find Miles very endearing. I love the movies and the couple of comics I read.

Sorry, this one wasn't as good as it could have been.

I'm sure the younger readers its aimed at wouldn't have had my issues. I still need to see the second movie
