Just watched it last night. Like most everyone else, I really liked it. I got to wondering afterwards ... seeing as I haven't really read Spider-man in about 3 decades, I have no idea whether the movie holds true to the comics. I know who Miles Morales is, and I know Gwen is from an alternate universe ... but that's about the extent of my knowledge on those characters. So did the movie follow the comic (whichever that comic is, I don't know)?

There is a spider-verse crossover.  It introduced spider-gwen.  Nothing at all like the movie, except it was an excuse to have a million different spider people (but it's a fun read IMO)

The digital copy of Into The Spider-Verse comes out next week (that was fast).

'Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse' Deleted Scene Released Online

Quote

Ahead of its digital release next week, Sony Pictures Animation has started rolling out extras included with the film. Earlier in the week, ComicBook.com unveiled a featurette focusing Spider-Gwen and now, a new deleted scene has surfaced (via io9) showing an emotional talk between Miles (Shameik Moore) and Peter (Jake Johnson).

 

Heading into the 91st Academy Awards tomorrow, Into The Spider-Verse has had a pretty killer run this awards season, winning a Golden Globe and BAFTA Award for Best Animated Film.

Pretty close.

I finally watched it last night.  I mean, I've got nothing really new to add since it seems everyone enjoyed it.

All I can say is that it feels like the most "comic book-y" movie I've ever seen.  Like, I can easily see it starting life as a mini-series (though, it sounds like a completely original story).  6 issue mini's generally have these cliffhangers that close out the last page of each book, and I got the same kind of beats/pacing with Into the Spider-verse.  Overall, very well done.  And astonishing the quality of talent they're able to cast.
