The difference between Stan Lee & Brian Michael Bendis when it comes to Spider-Man can be summed up in this:
When Stan Lee decided to kill off both Uncle Ben and Gwen Stacy, he sticked with those decisions. Brian Michael Bendis decides to have both Miles Morales' mother and Gwen Stacy killed, but brings them back in a retcon.
At least now mother Rio can have some interaction with Aunt May over their Spider-sons. And Jennifer Lopez can play her in a movie.
Miles' mom should have stayed dead and I'm confused over where popular UU characters like Jessica are.
This does provide another wrinkle to the man who seems to resurrect the loved ones of the bad guys in ASM.
Sincerely,
Thomas Mets
Regardless of the Molecule Man being responsible, Miles Morales, his family, and his supporting cast being brought into and incorporated into the new "Prime Earth" creates a big nagging question: how much of Miles' history has changed? Because if everything on "Prime Earth" happened the same way as it did on Earth-616 up to the first incursion in New Avengers #1, and if Miles mom never died, then logically, everything about Miles--including how he got spider-powers, how he became another Spider-Man, and how he met Peter--would have to be different.

My solution? Blame Spider-Island, say that Miles was one of the rare few, like Anya Corazon, whose spider-powers stuck even after the Anti-Venom cure was administered to him. The rest would depend on if or how much Miles remembers his original universe and how much of that got incorporated into the All-New, All-Different Marvel Universe.
The spider is always on the hunt.
