Explore the Stories Behind the Legends
First introduced in 2011 by Brian Michael Bendis and Sara Pichelli, Miles Morales reconceived Spider-Man as African American and Latinx, and his debut marked a new direction in the saga of a beloved character. Miles Morales as Spider-Man is a coming-of-age tale of a smart, affable teen coming into his power. From his reluctance to becoming a super hero to his desire to help others, to the rocky balance between his school life and super hero responsibilities, Miles is always at the precipice of making tough decisions-choices whose consequences are as weighted in his personal life as they often are for the survival of the world. Illustrated with full-color art, Ytasha L. Womack's entry in the Marvel Age of Comics looks at the hugely successful reimagining of one of the most popular super hero characters of all time.Author: Ytasha L. Womack
