Miles Morales’ comic debut free on Comixology

If you’re a casual Spider-Man fan you’ll most likely be confused about the name ‘Miles Morales’ being tossed around in contention for Marvel’s Spider-Man film. You’ll probably be confused that there is another Spider-Man than Peter Parker and you’ll be wondering what all of the fuss is about!

Miles Morales is the Ultimate Comics Spider-Man, an alternative universe to the mainstream Marvel titles where the writers had a bit more of a free reign to do things differently! Peter Parker was in the Ultimate Universe too but he was killed off, meaning that a young, black, Hispanic teenager took over the reigns of Spider-Man!
