Miles Morales is the new Marvel Universe Spider-Man

[Coal Tiger]

I figure an official thread will be posted by CBR news sometime tomorrow, but it looks like Miles is the "official" new Spider-Man of the post-Secret Wars Marvel Universe.

It'll be interesting to see how the sales are, since Miles has been in the 40-20K range for the past few years.

Really interested to see what Peter's role becomes.

I'm not worried about the sales tbh. Being set in something that wasn't the MU was gonna cause sales to struggle.

More than anything, I hope Miles gets his supporting cast back.

I want Ganke, Kate, Bombshell, and them all back to see where their stories go.

Looks like Parker Industries will still be around

i'm sorry, but this is so stupid. it has nothing to do with him being black (before i'm attacked as being racist)...but it has everything to do with the fact that PETER PARKER IS SPIDERMAN. NOT MILES MORALES. i just don't like the character. never have and never will. hopefully the book will bomb.

Relax. They have already shown Peter's Spidey in the promo image, so I'm sure Amazing Spider-Man will go on with Peter Parker as Spidey. You don't have to hate this book to get him back. They are just trying to hype up the character as sales have been lacking for him in the Ultimate line.

Calling it now.

"This Spider-Man is sponsored by Parker Industries."

Looks like Pete's fib about himself designing tech for Spidey gets some small measure of truth. Miles will be the company's "mascot/hero", though being a small company he has a tighter budget than if he were under Stark (as mentioned in FCBD ANAD Avengers). Parker himself might now be a semi-regular Spidey, the "original" obviously, kinda like MC2 but with a bit more action.

If Marvel is douchy enough to keep Felicia evil even in ANAD-MU, i hope she doesn't bother the main Spider title anymore and remains silk's Goblin. Full circle then, becoming a femaile spider's villain as originally conceived.

Back to Pete and Miles: good luck and best wishes.

I called it, about a year ago in fact, now my biggest fear is that Peter's role might be relegated to merely support for Miles as Pete slowly fades into the background. Hope I'm wrong. *crosses fingers & toes*

Is everyone on here forgetting this?

[Anubhavkumarc]

As long as Pete gets a chance at living a good life, I'm happy. They'll kill off Miles in a few years like they did to Ben Reilly anyways.

That is the one possible big positive I see coming out of this development, no matter what else may happen. Perhaps poor Pete will finally be given a shot at the happiness he so richly deserves, rather than being stuck in the perennial man child/loser role.

Agreed,this sounds very similar to what they did in the clone saga so of this is true I will be kinda surprised. But hopefully this means that maybe Pete will get to be with MJ and his daughter again.

Not too surprising given the teasers, the FCBD issue, and the premise of Secret Wars, and it does make sense Bendis and Pichelli will continue to do a Miles Morales series given he's their creation. The question is just how will Miles, given his unique history within the Ultimate Comics, be incorporated into the mainstream Marvel Universe. One would think characters such as Genke Lee, Miles' dad, Bombshell, etc. would still be part of his supporting cast, but what about the Ultimate versions of Aunt May, Gwen, Kate Bishop, Maria Hill, and especially Nick Fury? Obviously some of those characters will no longer be around, yet were essential to the Miles Morales: Ultimate Spider-Man series. The only way I can possibly see this working is if Marvel decides to merge and restructure the characters histories so that some Ultimate characters will have "always" been a part of the 616 in manner not unlike what DC did in Crisis On Infinite Earths.

And in case folks are curious, Bendis did confirm what the NY Daily News exclusive on his Twitter: https://twitter.com/BRIANMBENDIS/sta...79061898571777

And also J. Jonah Jameson's current home, the Fact Channel. So I guess this means Silk is still around, too?

Yeah, I see Peter doing something like that. "Oh, you thought I meant that Spider-Man. I meant I was supplying tech to this Spider-Man. Say hello to our new company mascot, folks!"

I mean REALLY?
