Spider-Man: Miles Morales

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 beloved saga. 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 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, this entry in the MARVEL AGE OF COMICS is a look at the hugely successful reimagining of one of the most popular super hero characters of all time.
