Marvel Comics' Ultimate Fallout Issue No. 4 Names Miles Morales, Half-Black, Half-Latino Teen, as New Spider-Man

Marvel Comics unveils new Spider-Man, a half-black, half-Hispanic teen named Miles Morales. Who said we couldn't have a mixed Spider-Man?

Marvel Comics' Ultimate Fallout issue 4 has an added bonus -- a half-black Spider-Man. The half-black, half-Hispanic teen named Miles Morales takes over the job held by Peter Parker, who was killed in Ultimate Spider-Man Issue 160 in June.

In his first appearance, he simply breaks up a fight. But readers will learn the true origin of Morales and how he became the new Spider-Man when Ultimate Spider-Man relaunches in September with a new No. 1 issue.

"The theme is the same: With great power comes great responsibility," says writer Brian Michael Bendis. "He's going to learn that. Then he has to figure out what that means."

The new Ultimate Spider-Man series, as well as Wednesday's Ultimate Fallout issue, will be available digitally the same day as in stores. Source: USA Today
