Review of Spider-Man 2099, Spread & Chastity

Tomorrow is the release of new comics and with that means Review time! This week I'm reviewing a few new comics. Tomorrow we see Miguel O'Hara, the Spider-Man from the year 2099 return in his own title. We're also taking a look at Spread, an apocalyptic story on earth, and Chastity, a story about a teen who's dream of being an Olympic athlete is crushed, and she resorts to reading books about vampires only to realize vampires are far from a creepy fairy tale.

First up is Spider-Man 2099. Now I was never a true Spider-Man fan, but this comic is proving to be worth the read. It has a Terminator feel to it. Miguel is sent to the present to save his grandfather, only he's being hunted by an agent of T.O.T.E.M also known as Temporal Oversight Team Eliminating Mistakes. The agent was sent to destroy Spider-Man, but the question is why? It's also looking like Miguel's cover will be blown as Elizabeth Allen tries to unmask Spider-Man.

Next up is Chastity. The story sets up Chastity by showing how much she loved being a gymnast, but when she falls and tears her ACL, Chastity is forced to rethink her dreams of being an Olympic athlete. She resorts to spending her recovery time reading books. She indulges in a popular vampire novel, hoping they weren't sparkly and glittering in the sunlight, as some recent novels have portrayed them. After Chastity skips school to go to a book signing, she finds out that vampires are in fact real, and she and her family are attacked. The ending has quite the twist. I didn't expect it to be as good as it really is. Chastity is a character that is identifiable with. She has an appreciation of great literature, and is cynical about the fantasy of vampires.

Last on the list is Spread. It's published by Image Comics, which definitely has a factor here. If you love the Walking Dead, then you want to subscribe to Spread. It's an apocalyptic world in which strange monsters roam the earth. A man, who seems nothing more than that has bloody tentacles shoot out of his eyeballs and at the tips of them are mouths. Intrigued yet? Spread takes the Apocalypse and gives it a whole new meaning. A man named No (I know, that's an odd name), is on his own surviving until he meets a woman who's dying. She tells him of Hope, and that he needs to save her. Turns out Hope is an infant, who possesses strange powers. Hope is the only one who posses a threat for the Spread. I have high Hopes for this comic! If it's anything like Walking Dead, then I'm sure the fandom will catch on.
