I should have mentally prepared for this one. Clearly, they work at cross-purposes, maybe not intentionally, but not as a good storytelling team should nonetheless.
Damion Scott’s artwork fails to demonstrate the due seriousness that this story requires and consequently appears amateurish in comparison to what the writer attempts to convey. It is far too cartoonish to be deliberate and consistent with said tone, ambience, milieu. (I could practically hear the string section of a cinema orchestra wailing a plaintive cry, the violins strong and deep.) One of my major gripes is that the artwork does not match the tone the writer attempts to convey. It may as well be a "What if?") The writing figuratively drips with pathos, as most "end of the hero’s journey" stories do. (I have to admit, I HATE with a passion non-canon stories. The book peers into a post-apocalyptic, alternate Marvel Universe where Miles Morales is an old man who has erected the last bastion of civilization in Brooklyn. Miles Morales: The End #1 is a future timeline story written by Saladin Ahmed.
