Pete and Miles finally interacting in Nick's run

They interacted before in Spectacular Spider-Man while fighting Morlun. But I'm always happy for more Miles and Peter interaction.
I meant specifically in Nick Spencer's Amazing Spider-Man run.
Completely agreed. That's why it's so frustrating that the current Peter Parker "architect" has kept him so isolated and at arm's length from Miles. He's had ample time to have done so multiple times over by now; coulda even woven some Miles subplots in. Instead, he seems to have waited for an editorial mandation, over two years into his run.

Ya'll wanted ASM to have an even BIGGER regular cast with MORE wheel-spinning subplots?
I don't blind date I make the direct market vibrate
Marvel as a whole seems to think it's too risky to have Peter and Miles interact much. Honestly, their reasons aren't entirely unfounded. Showing a Miles-and-Peter dynamic where Peter comes off as too much of a mentor may or may not reinforce the 'White Savior' trope. It's something that can happen with any older white character and younger black character, but it's twice as risky in the context of Spider-Man since Peter was the first independent teen hero and had to figure everything out on his own. I'm not saying it can't be done but it would require additional planning on Spencer's part (or on the part of any other writer).

I doubt that's the case. I just don't think Miles is a priority for Spencer at all because he's more focused on stuff relevant to Peter.
If they were concerned about a "white savior" dynamic they wouldn't allow for the situations like in the cartoons where Miles usually ends up as just a sidekick.
The cartoon is under a different division and also most of its viewers are of a very young age. The comics, movies and video games arguably have a somewhat larger and more adult audience.
For example, Marvel got under fire recently for removing the BLM logo from a Miles Morales comic. The Disney cartoons get less attention than that.
