Ganke, Fabio, and Miles sit in the dormroom at Brooklyn Visions still recapping his story - all of which transpired in the time it took Ganke to do a geometry assignment. Sitting in a Tree Part 5 finds Spider-Gwen back in her home world but now with no Miles.Talking to the watch, she tells whomever is on the other end of it that she needs help or else they're all in trouble. Finally it dings, pinpointing his coordinates in a less than informative conversation.
Four minutes prior, he'd thrown the transporter watch to Gwen, grabbing one of the members of SILK and leaving her and Ms Marvel guessing. He jumps through a portal and lands right in front of his dad/Scorpion in hopes of just simply talking. Not even considering that, he charges Miles and Gwen suddenly teleports in, kicking Scorpion in the face. As his goons keep shooting, one of them hits the vortex, pulling Gwen through it and eventually as he loses his grip - Spider-Man as well. Luckily he lands on his back on a rooftop, reuniting with her. Embracing happily because they're still alive, they eventually notice they're in a dark Midtown, and who should be staring at them but 1930's Spider-Man Noir. Gwen taps the watch and this time, the city they land in stinks. Noticing the Daily Planet logo behind them, Bendis takes a quick and hilarious dig at DC. Next up they land in a post apocalyptic Walking Dead version of Spidey's greatest rivals. Just before the walkers get their hands on them, they teleport again but this time, become interdimensionally separated.
Gwen is suddenly falling. She lands on a rooftop in front of a gigantic sign congratulating Spider-Man and Woman on 20 years of wedded bliss. Clearly freaked out, her watch dings. Spider-Man finds himself alone as well and not knowing what to do. His spider-sense buzzes and he sees Scorpion hiding behind some tiles. Leaping into action, he slugs him... but this time, a confused Jefferson tells his son to stop. Miles looks at his father, puzzled, and with that we're left to be continued.
Fantastic issue. I love the references only a purist like Brian Michael Bendis can throw in. It's been years since I've seen Spider-Man Noir in anything and it was good to catch a glimpse. not to mention a red streak across the Metropolis sky could only be only one Kryptonian we know and love. I'm enjoying this series and the saga of Miles Morales only gets better and better. I give this one a 9/10.
