    This series is one of my favorite Spider-Man books, even though it's not Peter Parker.  Miguel is my favorite non Peter Spider-Man.  And since I was not alive when Peter first got his powers. and I hate Ultimate Spider-Man, love sci-fi and like holograms, this series has always been one of my favorites.  But getting to the point, the issue was very good the action was cool, Spider-Man gets to kick some serious butt, and the "Specialist" is a cool villain. You can probably tell from the cover, the Specialist is a straight forward Samurai type character.  He is kind of like Deathstroke, but with a Samurai theme. He is cold and calculating and he refers to himself in the fist person. 
     
    Without spoiling anything, the issue is set up following this girl named Kasey Nash.  For some reason, the Specialist is sent to get her, and Spider-Man gets involved. You also get to see Mig, and how he deals with Tyler Stone in a cool scene.
     
    Overall I would say the comic is a 3.8 stars out of 5 (If we are going with the Comic Vine scale) in total or a 8.8 (if we are going with the IGN scale) But it was great and it leaves you with a cliffhanger, so get the next issue as well

Miguel has repeatedly stated you like to suck the blood of widows and orphans. There's none in the 'fridge, but perhaps some cof...
