Miles Morales Braves A Whole New Universe in SPIDER-MAN #1!
New York, NY-June 22nd, 2015- He’s the wallcrawler that made pop culture
history and took the Ultimate Universe by storm. Now he’s ready to make
history again, as he finds a new home in a completely new universe.
Welcome to the Marvel Universe Miles Morales – hope you survive the
experience! Today, Marvel is pleased to announce SPIDER-MAN #1 – a
brand-new ongoing series starring Miles Morales coming later this year.
Comic superstars and Miles Morales co-creators Brian Michael Bendis and
Sara Pichelli begin the story that will have the whole world talking!
“Four years ago, we peeled back Spider-Man’s iconic mask to reveal a new
and different face, and readers of all stripes have embraced him,” says
Marvel Editor-in-Chief Axel Alonso. “I’m excited to announce that Miles
Morales is here to stay – and this Fall, he’s going to be swinging through
the heart of the Marvel Universe. Can new friends and enemies be far
behind?”
A stranger in a strange land, Miles patrols the rooftops of a New York
City that is very different from the one he knew. A world where countless
heroes guard it’s skies and streets. A world where Miles is counted among
the ranks of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, the Avengers. A world where Peter
Parker is still alive. Though their paths have crossed before the landmark
series Spider-Men, with Miles now living in Peter’s universe – is this
town big enough for two Spider-Men? More importantly – how did Miles come
to be here in the first place?!
“This is a very big deal to [Sarah and I],” says Brian Michael Bendis in
an interview with
Marvel.com<http://marvel.com/
“For [Miles] to have grown up and flat-out earned his place in the Marvel
Universe, as Spider-Man, is frankly so much more than we could have hoped
for when we first sat down to design him and his life. When it became
clear that I was going to follow Miles into this new adventure I was
really hoping that Sara would see the value in it being both of us that do
this together. I was thrilled that she agreed immediately.”
Critically lauded for his resonant and relevant introduction, Miles
Morales made headlines the world over with his explosive introduction in
2011. Now, the chart-topping team of Bendis & Pichelli begin the epic next
chapter of Miles Morales’ life is about to begin. Where will you be when
he makes his thunderous arrival into our universe?
Swing into action with Miles Morales, the Marvel Universe’s newest
amazing, spectacular, sensational, friendly neighborhood wallcrawler later
this year with SPIDER-MAN #1!
