An impromptu time machine that may or may not work, made by Sonny, flings Miguel back to the future to the Parker industries building that has been destroyed and nothing but rubble remains. Miguel is in our time and met by a construction worker who finds a didjyman (pokemon) on his head via his cell phone app game. You can practically hear Miguel’s eyes roll even through his costume, as he takes off looking for any clues. He flips on his stealth camouflage and hits the streets the only way Spider-Man can, from building to building. Now the new suit allows him to directly talk to Lyla and use rocket boot jets as well as enhanced vision. Using these tools, Miguel is on the hunt for anything suspicious.
Of course in New York, Miguel finds himself in Times Square. Full of tourists and costumed street performers. Miguel comes up empty until he sees a familiar sight. A Spider-Man 2099 old school costume is donned by a street performer and is casually strolling down the square. Miguel admires the all too real detail of the costume and shrugs it off. But fate has guided Miguel to the correct location and time to find Tyler Stone, the man responsible for releasing a virus that killed millions. Miguel confronts Stone and he“s surprised to see Spider-Man and in classic bad guy fashion relinquished his plan of killing millions as well as the canister that holds the virus. Miguel believes his troubles are over until the all new Doc Ock enters the scene followed by Venom as well. Sliney really drew these two great and Rosenberg added some great color that made them explode off the page.
After some juggle the deadly virus canister and Tempest makes a reappearance, Stone gets the canister back into his hands once again. Whats happens next is too good to ruin but makes for a heck of an ending and cliffhanger. The action doesn“t look like it’s going to slow down in this series folks. Spider-Man 2099 #23 gets a four out of five stars and five out of five web sling shots. Thwip!!
