In creating the visual look for Miles, Pichelli followed her usual practice of approaching the design by giving thought to the character's personality, including the background that influenced it, and the distinctive traits that he would exhibit, such as the clothing he wears, his body language and expressions.

By Augustsales on the title had slipped, and sales for the other two Ultimate titles, Ultimate Comics X-Men and Ultimate Comics The Ultimateshad dropped to numbers at which mainstream Marvel titles are cancelled.

On Spider-Man: Miles Morales Vol. 1: Vol. 1 9,Marvel announced that an original graphic novel, Miles Morales: Shock Waveswould be released in in partnership with Scholastic. Written by Opposite of Always author Justin A. Reynolds and featuring art by Pablo Leon, the story follows the Miles as he organizes a fundraiser for Puerto Ricans suffering after a terrible earthquake, only to discover a connection between a major sponsor and the disappearance of a classmate's father. Bitten by a slightly different genetically engineered spider than the one that granted Peter Parker superhuman powers, Miles Morales possesses abilities similar to the original Spider-Man's, including enhanced strength and agility, the ability to adhere to walls and ceilings with his hands and feet, [18] and a "spider sense" that warns him of danger with a buzzing sensation in his head. He has two abilities that the original Spider-Man does not have: the ability to Spider-Man: Miles Morales Vol. 1: Vol. 1 himself, including his clothing, to match his surroundings, making him effectively invisible, [19] [41] and a "venom strike" that can temporarily paralyze almost anyone with just a touch.

The response to the black Spider-Man shows why we need one", in which writer Alexandra Petri wrote that the character should be judged on the quality of its stories rather than on his appearance or ethnicity. Conservative talkshow host Glenn Beckclaiming that Miles resembled President , argued that the new Spider-Man was a result of a comment from about changing traditions. However, Beck said he did not care about Miles' race, and also acknowledged that this was not the mainstream Spider-Man. We believe Spider- Man: Miles Morales Vol. 1: Vol. 1 an audience of people out there who is thirsty for a character like Miles Morales. In a review for the first issue, David Pepose of wrote, "The biggest victory that Bendis scores with Miles Morales is that he makes us care about him, and care about him quickly. Even though we're still scratching the surface of what makes him tick, we're seeing the world through his eyes, and it's similar to Peter Parker's but a whole lot tougher. But that kind of Parker-style guilt—that neurotic, nearly masochistic tendency for self-sacrifice that comes with great power and greater responsibility—is still intact. Bendis never quite paints a complete picture of Miles—his thoughts, motivations, personality quirks, and so forth. Miles is largely a reactionary figure throughout the book as he confronts struggles like registering for a charter school or dealing with Spider-Man: Miles Morales Vol. 1: Vol. 1 squabbles. All the story doesn't pander or lean too heavily on elements like racial and economic tension to move forward. Miles is simply a character who speaks to a slightly different teen experience, and one not nearly as well represented in comics as Peter's". Miles worked for Fisk following their time in prison, aiding him during Wilson's violent rise to crime boss in New York. Subsequent to this, after Miles fell in love with a woman named Barbara Sanchez, Fisk arranged to have all traces of Miles' existence erased from searchable records in order help Miles leave his criminal life behind him.

In the book Ultimate FF 4, a version of Miles Morales' Spider-Ham is introduced with the name Miles Morhames, who hails from a dimension inhabited by beings that resemble anthropomorphic animals. His origin is similar to the Ultimate version, in that after the death of Peter Porker, Miles Morhames was inspired to become a hero. In the book Venomverse: War Stories 1, a version of Miles appears with other heroes in the world of the Venomized Spider-Man: Miles Morales Vol. 1: Vol. 1 Doomin which each person is bonded to a symbiote.

He was a controversial figure during his debut, but has won over fans with amazing stories. When Into the Spider-Verse dropped, Marvel thought it might be a good idea to give Miles a fresh look with a new ongoing title and a new creative team. Thus, Miles Morales: Spider-Man was born. For his fourth?! Ahmed clearly loves Miles Morales and, even better, knows how to write stories that speak to his multi-racial experience while also being an incredibly fun superhero book. His parents both know about his after-school job, though it appears secrets run in the family — his father, who Miles thought was a cop, revealed himself to be a S. The is tracking the daughter of an estranged girlfriend who also went missing; after the initial obligatory -up, the two form an uneasy alliance. His father was deported, and his mother is drowning in a sea of Spider-Man: Miles Morales Vol. 1: Vol. 1 trying to gain citizenship for her family. Miles is determined, laser-focused, principled, but with the swagger of a Brooklyn teenager. If nothing else, it carries the central idea of Into the Spider-Verse — that Spider-Man has become so iconic he can work as an archetype as well as a character — and proves it through practice.
