Marvel: Miles Morales: Shock Waves: Spider-Man graphic novel

Product Information

The illustrations’ style is not very detailed but can really explain what is going on. It is very colourful but using dark colours a bit like anime style. It’s quite appealing to look at and I liked the style. It makes it hard to put the book down because you always want to see what’s going to happen next. I read it in one go! The story begins with Miles swinging from rooftop to rooftop, and through the streets of Brooklyn. All while he explains what it is like to adapt to his new life and powers as Spider-Man. He helps an old lady cross the street, takes selfies with fans, stops a robbery, and details that he got his newfound powers because he was bitten by a genetically engineered spider. Additionally Miles explains his relationship with Peter Parker’s Spider-Man, who is a friend and mentor. Though they stay in their own neighborhoods, Queens for Peter Parker and Brooklyn for Miles. When a poison tide flowing across the ocean threatens their island, Roz works with the resident creatures to ensure that they will have clean water, but the destruction of vegetation and crowding of habitats jeopardize everyone’s survival. Brown’s tale of environmental depredation and turmoil is by turns poignant, graceful, endearing, and inspiring, with his (mostly) gentle robot protagonist at its heart. Though Roz is different from the creatures she lives with or encounters—including her son, Brightbill the goose, and his new mate, Glimmerwing—she makes connections through her versatile communication abilities and her desire to understand and help others. When Roz accidentally discovers that the replacement body given to her by Dr. Molovo is waterproof, she sets out to seek help and discovers the human-engineered source of the toxic tide. Brown’s rich descriptions of undersea landscapes, entertaining conversations between Roz and wild creatures, and concise yet powerful explanations of the effect of the poison tide on the ecology of the island are superb. Simple, spare illustrations offer just enough glimpses of Roz and her surroundings to spark the imagination. The climactic confrontation pits oceangoing mammals, seabirds, fish, and even zooplankton against hardware and technology in a nicely choreographed battle. But it is Roz’s heroism and peacemaking that save the day.

Harrison Snow, wealthy CEO of Serval Industries, who has been exposing people to Terrigen to turn them into super-powered servants, including Kyle’s dad, and his two “interns” Vex and Trinity Main character: Miles Morales, who splits his time in the book between planning a fundraiser for his mother’s homeland of Puerto Rico which has recently had devastating earthquakes, and investigating the mysterious disappearance of his friend’s father. And make no mistake, teaming up with Scholastic is a license to print money. DC’s kids and YA lines have been very successful in both bookstores and even comics shops. This Marvel line will be no different. Miles meets with his Dad at the police station where his Dad works. He asks for help to find Mr. Granderson. While at the station he notices Trinity and Vex being released by Mr. Snow, the boss of Mr. Granderson and head of Serval Industries. After Lunch with his Mom, Miles is a bit uncertain about his responsibilities and priorities. He Meets up with Peter Parker, the other Spider-man, and asks him for help. Peter gives him some much needed advice.

The PR is below, but the quote from Marvel’s vp of licensed publishing Sven Larson is on the money – Marvel has been looking to license out its iconic beloved characters to different publishers because ka-ching. An original middle-grade graphic novel from Graphix starring Brooklyn’s Spider-Man, Miles Morales, by bestselling author Justin A. Reynolds and Eisner nominee Pablo Leon! Leon: I think Justin gave Miles a voice that feels authentic to the character and its world. He was passionate about the project and once we hit a point where we understood how each other worked, it was smooth sailing. Honestly that’s the best type of co-worker anyone can ask for. Kamala Khan was an average middle school kid. That is, until a cloud called a Terrigen Mist swept through the New Jersey waterfront and activated her super powers! After taking on the persona of Ms. Marvel, she's been fighting crime in Jersey City, and has caught the eye of some pretty well-established super heroes. But that's not always a good thing... This graphic novel is about when Miles Morales (aka spider-man) sets up a fundraiser party to raise money for victims of an earthquake in Puerto Rico, but then a student at his school’s dad goes missing. He has to then constantly switch between Miles and spider-man throughout the book to help find him. The plot jumps around a bit because of this which I liked because it gives the impression that Miles sort of lives two lives at once and it’s quite exciting.

New and upcoming novels and guidebooks from Marvel’s mighty Spider-Verse are hitting bookstores near you! Leon: So obviously for me the strongest influence was the Spider-Verse movie. It had a great impact on me and it has been a very accessible portal for people to get into the Miles Morales universe. On a more traditional level, Miguel Covarruvias and Al Hirshfield are some of my biggest artistic influences. They use tangents smartly and purposely as an artistic choice, which is something I did a lot in this book. The graphic novel style feels like it is more exciting without narration because you can see what is happening better. I think it is good for people who find some books too long because it is quite short and there are more pictures than words so if you find reading hard you might like this and it’s a good way to get into longer books. More information about Marvel and Scholastic’s upcoming OGNs, creative teams, and new middle grade novels will be released later this year. Stay tuned to Marvel.com and Scholastic.com for new details and look out for these titles at book stores and comic shops starting next year!

We can’t wait to introduce you to this next chapter for Marvel’s heroes.”

The art warmly depicts an urban setting, using white gutters between panels in lots of different shapes, giving it a modern, fun, young feel. The art and the colors from Pablo Leon are sleek and engaging. It’s a great-looking comic, drawing inspiration from Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse without relying on its style. Leon has a great eye for color and line, and he imbues his action scenes with plenty of energy and charm. Ariana Maher’s letters are clearly laid out and quite beautiful alongside Leon’s art. The first books in our collaboration with Marvel have been enthusiastically received by critics and readers alike,” added Michael Petranek, Executive Editor and Manager, Graphix Media. “We are thrilled to bring fans of these amazing characters more stories to enjoy. We can’t wait to take our readers on new adventures and expand the breadth of our storytelling with Marvel.”

Art style: vibrant and engaging, clearly inspired by “Into the Spider-Verse” without being derivative. Reynolds: The folks at Marvel were really great about giving me room to explore Miles in ways both known and unknown. Miles already has this very rich history and we just wanted to add to his legacy—to honor where he’s been and explore where he’s going. An original middle-grade full-colour graphic novel starring Brooklyn’s Spider-Man, Miles Morales, by bestselling author Justin A. Reynolds and Eisner nominee Pablo Leon! I liked how just enough info about Miles was given at the intro to establish who he is and what kinds of powers he has. This June, the Spider-Verse (and its many heroes) swing into the spotlight! Follow Gwen Stacy AKA Ghost-Spider as she guides you on an illustrated tour of the Spider-Verse.

I also went through the 2017 animated series – while it wasn’t my favorite depiction of Miles, it was very influential in the way they streamlined their designs and I tried to incorporate some of that wherever possible. Looking at it now, there are so many things I would have done differently, but I’m still happy with how it came out!
