Great issue
Looking forward to seeing where his goes now.
2099 is back baby!
Although it didn't have much in the way of action, I thought this comic was very good with some excellent, witty dialogue. And nice to see Liz Allan get some much needed development even though spoilers:end of spoilers And definitely intrigued as to where PAD will take this Tempest character now that Miguel knows about her illness.
her kissing Miquel after his reveal did seem pretty random.
Same here. Especially whenever it was used to explain his status quo. For example:
TEMPEST: Why do you wear sunglasses indoors?
MIQUEL (Narration): Spider-Powers make me light sensitive.
MIQUEL: It's how I look cool.
TEMPEST: Not working.
I'm ashamed to admit I also cracked up as well, especially when the scene cut back to show what really happened.

Depends when in 2099 he was sent back. He may in fact have a fiancé.

Like use Lyla's knowledge banks and Liz's access to chemicals/meds to cure Cancer?

This issue made me laugh out loud a few times. Especially the window scene. I really enjoy that this book is funny from the outside looking in, instead of being funny because the character tells jokes. Like when Miguel punched the bank robber and said "shut up." It wasn't a funny joke, but if somebody were to see a bank robber nervously blabbing away, then somebody interrupts with a punch, and says, "shut up." It would be a YouTube hit.

I loved Liz quizzing him about being Michael O'Mara. Do you play guitar for a band called Sleepaway? No. Do you own a book store in the U.K.? Uh, nope.

I have to wonder...how would Liz handle the true story behind Miguel being a Spider-man from the future ?
PAD can write up a storm, he's really good. This issue was exactly what I liked about his other runs for other characters, like his Hulk run - the character development. He's making me care about Miguel, Liz and that purple hair lady.
Agreed. Lovely art. And it reads as a decent jumping on to follow a 'new' time stranded character. Not like, say, Cable who is moving around casually and problematically in 'The Present' forever and ever it seems.
Agreed. I did not want to like this but I did. I have no vested interest in anything 2099 and Miggy's arrival into our era was to convoluted in that SSM arc.
Agreed. And there were other typical nice touches of PAD humor. Hopefully, X-factor doesn't suffer losing some of it's thoughtful humor touches.
For me, I thought for a sec he'd suit up and prove he was Spidey2099 instead of just tell her. The dream and the path he took was much better.
Cover was pretty and pretty bland at the same time.

This seems like a comic that will just keep having bland covers. Artsy crotch in your face with dull backgrounds.
I thought this was clearly better than the first issue, in art and pacing. I've very suddenly come to care about Tempest, but I like the interaction with Liz that dominated the issue.
