Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse by Charlie Michael

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse by Charlie Michael

Exploring the dynamic genres of animation and comic book films, this book examines the transmedia role of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and its critical involvement in attempts to diversify representations in youth-oriented cinema and culture.

"Michael marries the worlds of film theory and larger popular culture critique in a way that is both deeply analytical and approachable for anyone interested in the majesty of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-VerseHis gradual unfolding of Miles Morales's debut film covers the vast complexities of its narrative and construction, from the animation to the racial politics at play, that offer a way for future superhero films to appeal to a youthful demographic that sees Miles Morales as "our Spider-Man". Michael takes a leap of faith with this work, and it is one that pays off handsomely by the volume's end."

- Marcus Haynes, PhD, Georgia Gwinnett College, Author of YA novel The Orange Scepter
