I'm right now rereading the Miles Morales portions of Ultimate Spider-Man, and started wondering if there's a consensus on what the best Miles Morales story is.
So, what's your favorite?
The breakdown of the stories....
All-New Ultimate Spider-Man (Ultimate Spider-Man 1-5)
The origin.
Prowler (Ultimate Spider-Man 6-12)
This is arguably the same story as the origin, but there's a clearer focus on the conflict with the Prowler and the New Scorpion.
Divided We Fall (Ultimate Spider-Man 13-14)
Team-up between Miles and the Ultimates in New York.
United We Stand (Ultimate Spider-Man 15-18)
Miles and the Ultimates go on an away mission.
Spider-Men 1-5
The classic Spider-Man meets Miles
Ultimate Venom (Ultimate Spider-Man 16.1, 19-22)
Miles encounters the symbiote.
Spider-Man No More (Ultimate Spider-Man 23-28)
Miles retires as Spider-Man for an year.
Ultimate Spider-Man: Cataclysm 1-3
Ultimate Spider-Man 200
If they didn't give it a title, I'm not going to try.
Rebirth (Miles Morales Ultimate Spider-Man 1-7)
Peter Parker returns.
"You were an undercover agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.?" (Miles Morales: Ultimate Spider-Man #8-9)
Miles learns about his dad's past.
Is This the End? (Miles Morales: Ultimate Spider-Man #10-12)
Miles VS Hydra
Secret Wars/ Ultimate End
I'm merging these two into one story, given the links between these in figuring out how things change for Marvel.
Too Many Spider-Men (Spiderverse Team Up #2)
The team-up between Miles and the cartoon Spideys.
There's also an "Other" option in case I forgot something, or you really liked an Avengers arc.

Personally my choice is Spidermen, in my opinion it's a great story about Miles getting to meet the person he took up the mantle from as well as officially being accepted as the new Spider-Man by Peter Parker himself. It also had some great moments with Peter and the Ultimate versions of Aunt May and Gwen Stacy.
"It's fun and it's cool, so that's all that matters. It's what comics are for, Duh."

The Prowler arc. Their take on Prowler and Scorpion was really good and fit Miles' world really well, I think this is what Miles' should have been as Spider-man. 616 Spider-man villains re-imagined as characters who fit Miles' story. It gives things the feeling that this is still a Spider-man adaptation, but makes it more personal for Miles than just fighting rogues connected to Peter.

Reading the list makes me realise how few good stories Miles have had.
Prowler is in my opinion the best story. Spider-men and Venom share second place. Those three stories are by far the best stories Miles have had.

I misclicked Ultimate End.. but I'd say Spider-Men 1-5
Note: This person is a Peter Parker, Hank Pym, Bruce Banner, Reed Richards and James Howlett fanboy, used to be a Steve Rogers fanboy before he turned grumpy.

Prowler Storyline (Ultimate Spider-Man 6-12), I would say.

My favorite is definitely Spider-Man No More. That story gave us Miles finally realizing that with great power must also come great responsibility as well as Ultimate Cloak & Dagger and an enemy that he could not just venom blast into submission (I'm referring to Roxxon as a whole, not just Taskmaster). I can't stress how much I've enjoyed Ultimate Power Pack and I would have loved for the team to receive its own ongoing by Bendis and Marquez.
I think that's a rather inaccurate description since the story begins one year after he gave up being Spidey and started to get back into the tights.

Spider-Man no more is my favorite Miles story, for reasons previously mentioned. His personality, relationship to friends and foes are great. Taskmaster was very cool. Ultimate Cloak/Dagger!

Oh this is a close one, Prowler barely beats out Spider Man no more for me, just because of the fact I wasn't appreciative as to how inconsiderate his friends were to him being averse to being spider man again.

This was a tough one since I could only pick one but I plumped for Spider-Men 1-5
Others I like are
All-New Ultimate Spider-Man 1-5
Divided We Fall (Ultimate Spider-Man 13-14)
United We Stand (Ultimate Spider-Man 15-18)
Venom War (Ultimate Spider-Man 16.1, 19-22)
Rebirth (Miles Morales: Ultimate Spider-Man 1-7)
Well they're the main ones anyway LOL.

Spider-Men #1-5
Rebirth is a close second. I liked Miles and USM versus Norman.Every day is a gift, not a given right.

Only read the first arc (1-5) and Spider-Men so I can't really vote in the poll but i'm surprised by the amount of love Spider-Men is getting. Thought it was awful.
