One of the Best Miles Morales Stories!
Jason Reynolds’ “Miles Morales: Spider-Man” is the first solo Miles Morales story written by someone other than character creator Brian Michael Bendis and it easily surpasses expectations. Reynolds grounds his story in Miles’ relationship with his parents and friends, really focusing on their role in shaping him as well as the role of his home of Brooklyn (a location that Reynolds focuses on in his other books as well). The recurring themes of family, the long shadows of the past, and the precarious nature of opportunity shape the trajectory of the story. As much as Miles struggles to balance his personal life with his life as Spider-Man, he struggles far more to live up to the expectations of his parents and his community. Things take a turn as Miles begins clashing with a teacher who seems to have a grudge against him. This same teacher, Mr. Chamberlain, acts as a Southern apologist, arguing in favor of the Confederacy during the Civil War, suggesting that slavery was a net positive for the country, and citing the punishment clause of the Thirteenth Amendment to argue that slavery continues to benefit the United States. This, coupled with Miles’ strange dreams about a cabal of men who secretly negate the hopes of young people like Miles—ensuring that their victims will eventually end up in the prison industrial complex—tap into current events such as the recent clashes over memorials to the treasonous acts of the Civil War South and Ava DuVernay’s documentary, “13th.” These dreams offer clues to the climactic battle, which, though Reynolds assures his readers is real, still rings with the weight of allegory and metaphor. As exciting as the battle is, Reynolds’ focus on the world around Miles elevates this novel beyond a basic super hero story. In focusing on Miles’ relationships and his experience with his community, Reynolds tells a story with which any reader can relate. Miles’ sudden discovery of a cousin, the son of his Uncle Aaron (once the supervillain known as the Prowler), offers a mirror through which Miles can see the effects of a system designed to limit opportunities for people of color or those who lack wealth. This real-world commentary makes this one of the strongest Miles Morales stories, particularly in light of the controversy around 2016’s “Spider-Man” #2 trying to simultaneously engage with and avoid the issue of race. It also sets a high bar for Bryan Edward Hill, who will pen the first solo Miles Morales comics story in August 2018’s “Spider-Man Annual” #1. Though Marvel Press intends this young adult novel for grades 7 and up, it should be accessible to readers as young as 10 and as old as the oldest comic book fans.

Miles representa!
Antes de dizer que terminei o livro há poucos minutos e que, sim, gostei muito, vale deixar claro que: 1) Miles Morales é, provavelmente, a única pessoa-aranha que acompanho na Marvel Comics há anos e; 2) a proposta do autor, Jason Reynolds, ressoa muito com muitas coisas que gosto muito, textos que escrevo e coisas afins - é só dar uma mexida neste blog e tal que, facilmente, se nota. Por isso, resolvi escrever logo esta resenha, mas tentarei não ser tão tendencioso, hehe. Além disso, já deixando claro: você não precisa conhecer toda a "historiografia" dos Homens-Aranha, do Universo Ultimate ou do próprio Miles. A obra se sustenta por si só. Apesar disso, fica bem claro que Reynolds leu tudo que devem ter disponibilizado a ele e, aqui e ali, pega algo da fonte - até pra evitar incongruências com o cânone, claro - e, assim, se você acompanhou Ultimate Spider-man, Guerras Secretas e além, admito que entenderá mais profundamente certas coisas. Porém, nada que mude a experiência de leitura... Então, o que rola nessa história? Resumindo muito, é muito mais focada no cotidiano escolar de Miles e seu relacionamento com as pessoas (seus pais e Ganke, melhor amigo e colega, principalmente) e com a comunidade que faz parte do que em seus poderes e o uniforme, mas ambos ainda estão lá e implicam em muitos em muitas vantagens – tipo, tente ter reflexos e agilidade aracnídeas e jogar basquete – e problemas. Com isso, entre lidar com uma “paixonite” e uma revelação recentes, Miles ainda precisa descobrir o que ou quem está afetando o sentido-de-aranha a ponto de deixá-lo doente. Tudo desenrola a partir dessas situações. [...] Miles Morales - Spider-man foi uma das melhores leituras que realizei este ano, e eu leio muito! A Marvel Press trouxe um dos meus personagens favoritos dos gibis mainstream para a prosa e, sobretudo, com isso, Jason Reynolds aborda vários temas que considero importantes não só para mim (ou pessoas como eu), mas para qualquer um que se dispõe a aprender sobre e entender determinadas questões. Espero muito que alguma editora brasileira traga o título logo para cá, e com um tratamento e qualidade tão bons quanto o original - e me ofereço pra fazer a tradução, também, hehehe... Comparando a outros aracnídeos da literatura, esta teia do aranha também uma mensagem significativa.
