Description

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 decisionschoices 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.
