About the series
Launching in 2011 as part of Marvel's Ultimate line, this series introduced a new Spider-Man for a new era: Miles Morales, a teenage hero from Brooklyn grappling with his inherited powers and the legacy of Peter Parker. Written primarily by Brian Michael Bendis and illustrated by artists like Sara Pichelli and David Marquez, the 30-issue run grounded Miles’ journey in his family—supportive parents Jefferson and Rio Davis, and his best friend Ganke Lee—while pitting him against threats like the enigmatic Prowler. It’s a defining, heartfelt reinvention that proved a classic mantle could be passed to a completely original character, reshaping the Spider-Man mythos for a modern age.
