At first glance, Generations: Spider-Man seems like the least necessary installment of this series. After all, we see Miles Morales and Peter Parker interact all the time. The two are in the middle of a crossover miniseries as we speak. And that initial impression isn't necessarily changed after actually reading the book. Even though this issue shakes up the usual dynamic by having Miles cross paths with a young, college-age Peter, it doesn't do enough to add more depth to a well-established relationship.
Part of the problem stems from the fact that Peter and Miles have so little opportunity to interact here. Peter spends most of this issue in an agitated state, doing everything in his power to avoid the creepy kid who's shown up out of nowhere and knows his secret identity. Writer Brian Bendis winds up tying Peter's frazzled behavior into the events of a classic Stan Lee/John Romita Sr. issue of Amazing Spider-Man, but it doesn't change the fact that the two characters only spend a handful of pages interacting. Not to mention that the resolution, while having its heart in the right place, feels a bit forced. The takeaway from this brief crossover is that Miles is supposed to see Peter as a vulnerable kid for the first time. But I've never gotten the impression that Miles has ever had trouble connecting with Peter on a personal level or seeing him for the flawed but well-meaning man he is. Again, that relationship doesn't actually seem changed by the events of this issue.
