About this deal

Enjoyed this second installment in the series but still confused about how the villain was defeated. The plot is fast-paced and builds towards the inevitable final confrontation between our hero and 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.

He is a breath of fresh air, adding nuance and depth to Marvel super-heroes and Stranger Tides will certainly build on that reputation. Yourself and Bob are much cherished in our booky world and I personally really appreciate everything that you do. Though I must say, that whomever was behind that last chapter's art did one heck of a job at stylizing the Miles Morales Spider-Man. I also found the whole thing very light weight, and he literally punches the bad guy once and it is over. For the past 40 years or so in comic book history, if the main artist needs someone to help fill in, the editors will say that such and such artists assisted on pages 5-9 or something like that.A new supervillain in town, The Stranger, has hijacked a video game release and is using it to freeze people all over the world.

Their banter and intimacy toes the bromance line as most comic relationships are apt to do, but moreover it’s always great normalizing boys saying “I love you” to their friends, genuinely caring for one another’s mental health, etc.I really like that the author is African American and my 9yo loves these books and is obsessed with Miles Morales. Miles and Ganke interacting does all of the heavy lifting in this one, their scenes together being really the only enjoyable ones. I have even talked the head into a little revamp of the library so that we can display them properly! And I probably would have liked this book better had I read the first book, titled Miles Morales: Shock Waves.

L'histoire aborde subtilement des thèmes tels que le deuil et les émotions chez les hommes, et constitue un exemple clair de représentation à bien des égards, ce qui est plus que nécessaire. The art in this book is fantastic and it's a fun adventure story that builds on the characters and situations of the previous book by Justin. In this book, an evil intergalactic villain named the Stranger comes to Earth, and by using some weird… video game technology…? Not everyone who is frozen is playing video games; some, like Miles' uncle, are accidentally exposed.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. Pablo Leon gives texture and just the right amount of fun details in Mile’s surrounding both on earth and in spaceships. Reynolds tells a graphic story about Spider-Man, holding nothing back: emotions, likes, dislikes, and three lessons for the reader to learn and use in their own lives when dealing with a problem. OPPOSITE OF ALWAYS, his debut novel, was an Indies Introduce Top Ten Debut, a School Library Journal Best Book of 2019, translated in 17 languages, and is being developed for film with Paramount Players. Miles and Trinity work together to stop a strange occurrence in which people on Earth are “freezing” in place including Miles’ uncle!

What I really think: Jason Reynolds' novel about Miles Morales' Spider Man has circulated well, but I haven't bought Shock Waves yet.The freezing is caused by a computer game (think Hautman's The Flinkwater Factor), so he works closely with Ganke trying to figure it all out, but when Ganke is also frozen, it's up to Miles to save the day on his own. Nice up to date twist with the video game plot and a few interesting new villains, especially The Stranger. 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. It also doesn't help that I've read about 5 different Miles Morales story lines at this point, so keeping all of those versions of him, Ganke, his parents, and his uncle straight is also a challenge.
