    Scorpion And Prowler.

    Synopsis: Miles confronts the police. Meanwhile, Miles Uncle confronts Scorpion once more.

    Oh Miles. You really don't to get on the police's bad side. Still, the conversation he has with Captain Frank Quaid is a starting point, seeing how Miles is here to stay as Spider-Man. He realizes that this new Spider-Man is younger than the original, and he would hate to see the new one die so early. Except for Electro, so far, Miles has been taking on minor villains. What happens when he takes on a bigger threat? Like Scorpion?

    Speaking of Scorpion, it's not hard to admit that he's dangerous. Aaron Davis is continuing to learn that, and he's bringing the danger close to his nephew.

    Along with Miles being Spider-Man, it's pretty funny how he needs to make excuses to explain where he's been at school. He got his best friend Ganke to back him up.

    David Marquez is outstanding with this issue when it comes to the artwork. I am missing Sara Pichelli's artwork, but Marquez definitely has her style mixed with some more. He has a nice use of panels to portray the action and events going on throughout this issue. The best example of this is with pages with Scorpion and Prowler. This series is somewhat darker than the previous Ultimate Spider-Man, and it's a nice change.

    Overall:

    While the majority of this issue featured Miles' uncle, I didn't mind that one bit. It just shows how much unpredictable this series can be.

      This issue sees Bendis begin to properly address the plot threads of the last few issues regarding Uncle Aaron and Miles. And while this issue felt like more of an introduction to the next, it still did a good job of giving us a bit more insight into the character dynamics that exist between Miles and Aaron, and Spider-Man and the Prowler. How this will play out is anyones guess, but despite the Norman Osborn-y feel that this relationship has, it works well with the book, and still feels fresh. ...
