My Symbiote spider-man 2099 review
(Disclaimer: I did started reading the spider-man 2099 comic after ATSV so my review may be lackluster at best but I will tell it how it is. Also spoiler warning on the whole comic.)
So this is my review of the spider-man 2099 symbiote comic:Â
Miguel is now the CEO of Alchemax, which he hates and everyone hates him for it too. Also the fact he stressed from being the CEO and Spider-man. That was the first red flag of the comic. Miguel in 92 run didnât like being the CEO but he knew it better than someone else taking over.Â
 so the Venom made a new symbiote before it left and one of Miguel co-work was experimenting on it to control it and Miguel wasnât having that and wanted it destroyed. He figured that co-worker wasnât going to destroy it so he went in as spider-man to make sure it got destroyed. The co-worker tried to control the symbiote but it backfired and fused with Miguel.Â
Kron also escape at the sametime and punisher was hot on his tale and ready to killed him till Venom found Kron again since it like Kron for some reason and Kron killed punisher (iâm pretty sure he not dead dead but who care)
The symbiote that fused with Miguel try to take over but Miguel have more will power. So Symbiote opt to let them work together. Kron sneaks back into Alchemax disguising as Miguel. Tylor trying to get back the company. Kron got caught by him and Miguelâs mom. Then real miguel came in and reveal to Kron there brothers and he spider-man. I was like âWTFâ? On the Miguel revealing he spider-man to everyone in the room.Â
Kron tries to convince Miguel that they are brothers and we should take over the city since they both have symbiotes. Even Miguelâs Symbiote tries to tell him they should work with Kron and Miguel agrees!? Also, there was a moment that Tylor was thrown out the window but it was cop out, it was all in Miguelâs head. God I wish that would happen.Â
So Kron and Miguel having a brother moment in the next two issues goes nowhere. Like Kron and Miguelâs symbiote try to convince Miguel to kill people but he wonât so he still has control over his symbiote. Strange found out that Miguel is âpossessedâ by the Symbiote and went to Doom for help. Also the moment when he and Vulture had a fight and Miguel was actually going to kill him but he was saved by Strange. Probably the one person you should kill is Strange.
(ok this was kind of funny)
Doom go get Gabriel who was bitter with his mom and Miguel. Also just found out that his mom cheated with his dad and Miguel and Kron are brothers. Doom tell Gabe to go free Miguel which how the fuck does Doom knows that Gabe is Miguelâs brother? Did I missed a issue in 92 comic?!
So Gabe found Miguel who was having an exponential crisis. Telling that this isnât you, he gets stabbed by Kron and throw off a building (I'm pretty sure that happened). Miguel got pissed and tried to kill Kron. Miguel talked to Venom trying to convince them that Kron sucks and he better. Venom fused with Miguel and surprisingly killed Kron (I hope). Unfused with both of them and killing them? Sad that Gabe is dead but wait!! Gabe turns up a few days later and turns out that he is alive or what we think its him.
So the summary is over here the review part: first, the art style. It is terrible or at least not the best work. I know I came off straight from the movie so Miguelâs design I have high expectations for. But they used the 2019 comic design and let's just say it suck.he look way too much like Peter. Like, you could have made a fusion of the 92 comic design and the movie design. It has been done before by Mr.Dev and even fan made. Also other Spiders comics were starting to adapt the movie design, so why not Miguel? They also keep forgetting what Miguel suppose to have. Where are his red eyes? Where are his fangs? Where his sunglasses? Like come on! It 2024! You should know what he look like!! Everyone designs but Lyla is ugly. Only the cover were nice. Sidenote: if anyone can find a poster for issue one for me that be great.
Second, the pacing of the story was horrible. Like I get it they only had 5 issue but it was way rushed even for five issue. Like the plot went nowhere. Not only that but it looks like they change the plot midway. Like the first two issues look like they were going to pull the âwhich one is Miguelâ card. Are we reading about Miguel or the Symbiote or Kron since he was disgusting as Miguel. That would've been fun to read or would grab me to keep reading. There was also the whole Kron and Miguel trying to be brothers that just rubbed me the wrong way. Ugh, didnât Kron just kill Dana? Like Miguelâs fiancĂŠe? The love of his life?! Also side note there was no mention of her or Xina in this whole comic. I donât think Miguel donât want to be brothers with Kron who:
B. try to kill him when he was young.Â
C. probably was going to kill his mom.Â
D. killed Gabe, I know that one was after but it still counts.Â
E. did a bunch of evil stuff. I know he killed Punisherâs wife and/or family
Miguel deciding going with Kron was a way out character even with the Symbiote. The Symbiote would try to convince him to kill Kron and feed off his negative emotion.Â
Let's talk about Symbiote, the thing that pissed me off the most in this whole comic. The Symbiote was very disappointing. First the design, it looks very boring. Looking back at Gwen and Milesâs symbiote suits this very lackluster. Like the only thing I like about it is that he is bulky.
i'm most look like he got those 19ins
I saw better fan art designs for Miguel symbiote; it just looks very plain for a symbiote.Â
Another issue with the Symbiote is its point in the story. So this whole comic hype this Symbiote to be a great threat to everyone butâŚit did nothing. All it did was try to convince Miguel to let it have control or to kill people. That's it. It was just the symbiote scream that Miguel's ear telling him to do stuff like Navi from Zelda or Paimon from Genshin.Â
And biggest fucking problem I had for symbiote:Â
ITS.DOESNâT.HAVE.A FUCKING.NAME!!!!
The reason why I've been calling it Miguelâs Symbiote is because it doesnât have a name. I read this whole thing for 5 months for not to be named?! Like the main reason why I read this comic is because I love Symbiotes. It is the only thing I truly like about Spider-man (or least got me hooked read Spider-man) and when I heard Miguel getting one I was excited. But this whole comic was a huge disappointment that I wasted 5 months to read this to not only getting half ass writing from one of the original creators of 92â 2099 run of all things. Like if this was written by someone else I would be that not too upset but this is worse. He already letting me down with other stuffs he did that I wonât talk about. It's like he barely looks back at his work when writing this. As a writer this hurts. Like look at your stuff to make sure your retcon is going to make sense otherwise there is no point. this prove a point that just because the original writer is back that its going to be any good
So overall this comic is 1/10 and the only reason it got a one for the last issue was because they had a good fight and Miguel was being cunning. I hope we spider-man 2099 fan get a good comic. Because the last comic was about so-what descent was like in 2015. Like no one in marvel can write Miguel, he is not that hard!
