3.5 StarsI think this was the first time I had seen Spider-Man 2099:And so duh, I wanted to read the comic to THAT !So of course, as any good procrastinator would do, I read the comic 7 years later.And boy was this written in the '90's! Not that that's necessarily a bad thing, eh hem: Hem, eh, he he hem:HACK, ha, HEM hrm, eh hem:...Well. Uh. Anyway.Spider-Man 2099 is an interesting idea in concept, but I wouldn't wholeheartedly say it was as good in execution.Its science fiction design of 209...

The Good: Different than any other take I've ever seen on the infamous wall-crawler, this Spider-Man is not the Peter Parker of today or yesteryear, but Miguel, a man of tomorrow. Just like the classic superhero, the new Spidey finds himself in one insane adventure after another...but, the supporting characters are no Uncle Ben, Aunt May, and Mary Jane Watson. While some purist may say not to fix what isn't broken, as many times as the traditional Peter Parker arc has been done and redone--even

I was so excited when I found this. I was a huge Spider-Man 2099 fan as a kid, but honestly hadn't read any of these issues since Middle School. Luckily, they hold up really well - yes, sometimes the view of the dystopic future is a bit dated, but Peter David was oddly on the nose other times (hey, Alexa doesn't have a holographic feature yet like Lydia, but are we totally convinced that that isn't coming!? And having one othe Cliques named the Trumps? *heh*). Also I was kinda surprised by just

I was expecting a very 90s book and I read it fueled by nostalgia, but it actually turned out to be a very fun read! Everything about this character and his world is very interesting. I also love the fact that Spiderman from 2099 is Peter Parker's opposite in every way.

One of the best Spider-Man stories I've ever read.

Refreshing take on Spider-man. I really like the dystopian type setting. Just...new everything. I enjoyed it.

Nice look into a permanent part of the Spider-Man family from the 2099 run back in the 90's. I already knew Peter David was a wonderful writer but this is further proof for me, and the way that this Spider-Man is different and yet still, Spider-Man, well, it's cool. The artwork was wonderful, and I enjoyed reading one of the more successful offerings of Marvel's "2099" line that also included Dr. Doom, The X-Men, The Incredible Hulk, the Fantastic Four, and more.

I had never heard of this title until I was browsing around on my local library's website. I gotta say, the story is not bad. The toughest thing I had to get past was the "what the shock" swearing to most things. The origin story seemed a little "hokey", but just in the first volume, the character develops quickly.

This was a nostalgia read for me as I purchased the original floppies on a monthly basis when it first came out. Looking back on it with fresh eyes I have to say it still holds up pretty well. It has some of the clunkiness of the storytelling of the time but the art by Rick Leonardi is still very strong and the overall narrative and idea, as created and executed by Peter David, is interesting and a compelling take on the Spider-Man concept.There were some things I didn't love in hindsight, like

Set in a pretty standard cyber-punk dystopia setting, this book contains my favorite web-slinger of all time. Pretty sacrilegious I know, but I can't help it. The twelve year old inside me still loves Miguel O'Hara more than Peter Parker, so I guess I do too. Great character design to say the least.This volume starts off gangbusters with the three part origin story of Spider-Man 2099, but certainly looses steam with each subsequent issue. Which if memory serves me right, that pretty much describ...

3.5Quite enjoyable, but also dated... That art! And a lot of thought bubbles, and even more "narration" from the characters (talking out-loud to themselves) explaining what they're doing and thinking, and why, which I dislike. Also a lot of... ellipsis. The world building is good/interesting. The future is owned by large corporations; NYC is built up upon, the poorest living layers below the rich and connected; funny Thor cults (Thorites) run about; and cool self-mailing booths exist that Miguel...

Back in the 90s when this first came out, I totally fell in love with Miggy O'Hara! Of all the 2099 titles, Spider-Man was my favourite and it's a shame that Peter David left the title after his excellent run (coincidentally, it was around this time that the 2099 stories went downhill). This collected edition tells the origin and first adventures of Spider-Man 2099 and even after so long, they're still fantastic! I love this Spider-Man and appreciate the characterisation even more after reading

Back in 1992, Marvel launched their Marvel 2099 imprint to explore ideas and characters in the year 2099. Among the first of these titles was Spider-Man 2099, a cyberpunk take on Spider-Man where the lead is genius scientist Miguel O'Hara. With his spider powers he fights Alchemax, a megacorporation that owns Nueva York and naturally is evil, but he also works for them. I can certainly get behind a superhero who wants to change the status quo and take down a major corporation, but Miguel himself...

The year is 2099, and the world is a sick dystopian one which is ruled by evil and corrupt mega-corporations. There are no more superheroes and the classic ones of the past are just part of myths and legends. Enter Migeul O'Hara, an arrogant scientist working for Alchemax, one of the evil mega-corporations, who is forced to undergo an experiment after being betrayed by his own boss. He gains spider-like powers and dons a costume to fight a personal battle against the ones who wronged him. But sl...

One of my first comics ever so I've got massive nostalgia. I still dig Peter David's writing and Art Leonardi's pencils still have a dynamic sense of movement with insightful layout.

Spider-man 2099 is way better than I thought it would be. It made me want to read more of the 2099 universe.

I was super into this series back in the nineties, but back then I could only get my hands on random issues from time to time, so reading this from the start was pure gold.The world of 2099 is very much a product of its time, your typical dystopian world governed by corrupt megacorporations, with its own goofy slang, where heroes like Thor no longer exist and are mythologized through religion, with aesthetics heavily inspired by movies like Johnny Mnemonic, Judge Dredd and other cyberpunk worlds...

Spider-Man 2099 is a critique of business involvement in government and organized religion’s effect on society disguised as a Cyberpunk superhero story. Writer Peter David and artist Rick Leonardi create the sarcastic and fun Miguel O’Hara as the reluctant hero and progenitor of a new age of heroes. You get to see a future of a world that experienced a boom of superheroes and suffer the consequences of them suddenly disappearing. Any 90s cliches didn’t stop me from enjoying this book. It has wha...

Ok, lot of idiot haters out there with the reviews. This is a freaking awesome series. Sadly as a kid I only got up to the 20somethingish issue, where he battles a super-sadistic Venom 2099. But as a kid, I loved this Spider-Man more than classic spider-man. The dark undertones of the series and edgier stylizing made this an instant classic for me. Perhaps it is the dark in me that really loves it, as this Spider-Man's moral code was a bit south of classic Peter Parker.

I really like this comic book. He's not like the traditional Peter Parker. He's a smart-ass and isn't a people person. Despite the differences, I still wanted to learn about this new spider-man. I really love his costume. It's very futuristic and it's different than the traditional costume. I was really happy when I found out he was Mexican, because I'm also Mexican. Spider-Man is one of my favorite superheros. It would have been better if he was a nicer spider-man as well as Mexican, but it is
