For the past two decades, it seems like a new Spider-Man movie has been released every year, but 2018's Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse leaps over the other characters. It was the first big-screen superhero animation to use the concept of alternate universes and the only one to replicate the variety of visual styles and techniques found in comic books.

It was also one of the surprising few big-screen superhero animations. With the Ben-Day dots Roy Lichtenstein used in his paintings, some parts appeared to have been painted, others to have been hand-drawn, and still others to have been printed on cheap paper. A Pop-Art spectacle that took the medium to astonishing new heights, the film changed the game. However, the most impressive aspect of the novel was the intricate connection between the moving narrative and likable characters.

The premise was that Miles Morales, a teenager from Brooklyn who was portrayed by Shameik Moore, became the Spider-Man of his own universe. However, he soon found out that there were many other universes with web-slinging, wall-climbing counterparts, like our old friend Peter Parker (Jake Johnson), Gwen Stacy (Hailee Steinfeld), a pig named Spider-Ham (John Mulaney), and a brooding The follow-up, Spider-Man: Everything goes further in Across the Spider-Verse. 

Miles meets hundreds of Spider-People this time, including a London punk (Daniel Kaluuya) with a guitar who always looks like he's on a torn, photocopied poster and an Indian Spider-Man (Karan Soni) who looks like he's from a reality where Manhattan and Mumbai are the same place. As if that weren't enough, Miles learns that these Spider-Men and Spider-Women have their own high-tech headquarters where they monitor "anomalies" throughout the multiverse under the direction of Oscar Isaac's Miguel O'Hara, the stern Spider-Man of the year 2099.
