Across The Spider-Verse Proves One Way The Movies Can’t Beat The Comics

One detail from Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse proves that Marvel’s live-action projects can’t match the storytelling techniques in Marvel Comics. The sequel to 2018’s Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse released in June 2023, reintroducing audiences to Miles Morales, the Spider-Man of Earth-1610 who is thrust into a multiversal adventure after coming face-to-face with Miguel O’Hara, a.k.a. Spider-Man 2099, and the Spider Society. Using innovative animation techniques, Across the Spider-Verse is deeply inspired by the Marvel Comics source material, while also bringing the young hero to life in vivid detail and color. One Marvel Comics technique in particular is used throughout Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, but this may be a double-edged sword.
