Well, things tend to not go that well in this run unless it's the Judgement Day issue, the Black Cat two-parter, or Rek-Rap. But it feels like that's the smallest portion of the run.
I think there's a fine balance to be had from having your hero believably struggle while also having them actually succeed and make that struggle mean something.It builds character.
I couldn't get into Miles new run. I think the writer has a nice voice for Miles, but I found the villains uninteresting and silly, I found the upgraded powers to be ridiculous (I viscerally hate the sword). Miles already has awesome powers, he doesn't need more to make him seem cool. There's no real tension in his fights now. Feels like a writer trying to do cool moments and leave their mark but is not really advancing Miles.
And I really need some clarity on this "Peter doesn't ever win any fights". You guys act like he's Daredevil when it comes to the misery. And isn't losing a fight but finding a way to come back and win a classic Spidey trope? From as long I can remember reading its been that way. Most times he loses the "first confrontation" and them comes back right? Slott, Bendis, Spencer all did this. I can remember clearly during JMS's run that Peter got his butt kicked a ton of times. The thing is though he doesn't quit and finds a way to win. He gets This is in contrast to modern Miles who's solution is just to come up with a new random power. But thats just my personal preference.
Slott and Wells are both often guilty of having Peter struggle but not giving him wins that mattered. Either his victories weren't through his own efforts or he had to have another character bail him out or save him in the process, basically stealing the show or he got to do the bare minimum of actually succeeding. And narratively I just don't find that very satisfying.
Spencer had him struggle but he also let him win and actually beat the bad guys.
In this issue alone he comes off like a total joke and the least useful of all the other characters involved when he is literally the main character.
