Not sure who was more excited by this news myself or my son!
Brian Michael Bendis and Sara Pichelli have launched the new post Secret Wars monthly “Spider-Man”, starring Miles Morales, as the one and only Spider Man as reported by the New York Daily News beginning this fall.
Miles Morales has been around since 2011 filling in for murdered Peter Parker in the Marvel ‘Ultimate’ universe. He’s now part of the main continuity.
“Many kids of color who when they were playing superheroes with their friends, their friends wouldn’t let them be Batman or Superman because they don’t look like those heroes but they could be Spider-Man because anyone could be under that mask,” Bendis told the Daily News. “But now it’s true. It’s meant a great deal to a great many people.”
“Our message has to be it’s not Spider-Man with an asterisk, it’s the real Spider-Man for kids of color, for adults of color and everybody else,” he added.
Much like the All New Captain America, formerly Sam Wilson The Falcon, Peter Parker may play a mentorship role to Miles and they may crossover into each others books. Peter Parker continues to star in the main franchise title The Amazing Spider-Man as the All-New, All-Different Marvel publicity posters feature both Miles and Peter. The Marvel NOW titles, were introduced to reflect the changing demographics and lack of diversity in Marvel flagship lines and have seen increased sales particularly THOR featuring Jane Foster as the new God of Thunder and super popular title Ms. Marvel featuring a teenage muslim girl.
