Rezensionen

"Michael marries the worlds of film theory and larger popular culture critique in a way that is both deeply analytical and approachable for anyone interested in the majesty of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. His gradual unfolding of Miles Morales's debut film covers the vast complexities of its narrative and construction, from the animation to the racial politics at play, that offer a way for future superhero films to appeal to a youthful demographic that sees Miles Morales as "our Spider-Man". Michael takes a leap of faith with this work, and it is one that pays off handsomely by the volume's end."
