Fabulous introduction of the successor to Peter Parker, the original Spider-Man. Miles, a young black boy is accidentally bitten by the same spider and develops super powers. His first attempts to use them for good draws the attention of Spider-Woman and Nick Fury even as he is accepted into a
Miles is fortunate to have a father who is dedicated to making sure he stays out of trouble and does his best to set him on the right road. Excellent example of a good father figure. It doesn't take long for the reader to like Miles and feel his fear as he learns about his powers. We cheer when he decides to use them for good and root for his success.

I've been meaning to read about Milo's origin for well over a year and finally got around to it. I'm sad that it took me this long as I really enjoyed his story. Just like everyone else he is just trying to come to terms with who he is now that he has powers and what exactly his obligations, if any

Miles Morales is thrilled to have won the lottery to gain entrance into the charter school Brooklyn Visions Academy. It's a chance for him to make something of himself. He sneaks over to his uncle Aaron's apartment to share the good news. His dad doesn't want him hanging around his uncle because he
And he is right. Aaron, aka The Prowler, has just broken into Oscorp labs where months ago they had genetically altered a spider again in order to try to recreate Spider-man. Aaron is there to steal something else and picks up the spider for kicks not knowing what it is. While at his uncle's apartment Miles gets bit by the spider and begins to change. He can blend into the background, shoot shocking venom through his hands, and of course has the strength, agility, and ability to climb walls as the Peter Parker's Spider-man does.
He confides in his best friend Ganke and they both decide to keep it under wraps for now, especially since Miles's dad doesn't think too highly of mutants. But when Spider-man dies Miles feels the need to step up and take his place and does so with the grace of an elephant. But he is, after all, a teenager just figuring out his powers, which attracts the attentions of some powerful people including his uncle Aaron all of which have their ideas of what he should do.
This comic also includes the comic Ultimate Comics: Fallout #4 which has to do with Reed Richards. This is a good start to the series. Miles is a sweet but scared kid who ultimately wants to do right. And it was hard for him to act as Spider-man living in a dorm room he had to sneak out of with Genke and another person that had to be kept out of the loop. The art is fabulous and the plot is good and has me interested in finding out what happens in the next book.

This is the origin story for Miles Morales, an alternate version of Spider-Man. It does a good job of distinguishing him from Peter Parker a little bit, but mostly it quickly moves through his origin story and gets to the action.
