Marvel Reveals the new ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN
Last month Marvel killed off Peter Parker in Ultimate Spider-Man, today Marvel has revealed the new Spider-Man who will take Parkers place. He will make his debut in in Ultimate Fallout #4, which hits stores on August 3th 2011.
The new Spider-Man in the Ultimate universe is a half black, half-hispanic teen named Miles Morales. Here are some details from USA Today,
Revealed in Marvel Comics' Ultimate Fallout Issue 4, out Wednesday, the new Spider-Man in the Ultimate universe is a half-black, half-Hispanic teen named Miles Morales. He takes over the gig held by Peter Parker, who was killed in Ultimate Spider-Man Issue 160 in June.
In his first appearance, he simply breaks up a fight. But readers will learn the true origin of Morales and how he became the new Spider-Man when Ultimate Spider-Man relaunches in September with a new No. 1 issue.
"The theme is the same: With great power comes great responsibility," says writer Brian Michael Bendis. "He's going to learn that. Then he has to figure out what that means."
Marvel's editor in chief, Axel Alonso had this to say in a statement:
What you have is a Spider-Man for the 21st century who's reflective of our culture and diversity. We think that readers will fall in love with Miles Morales the same way they fell in love with Peter Parker.
This is pretty cool, and it's hard not to think that maybe Donald Glover's campaign to play Spider-Man in the new movie help spark this idea and put it into motion. What do you think?
