Description

Bloomsbury presents Spider-man: Miles Morales by Ytasha L. Womack, read by Xenia Willacey.

Explore the Stories Behind the Legends

First introduced in 2011 by Brian Michael Bendis and Sara Pichelli, Miles Morales reconceived Spider-Man as African American and Latinx, and his debut marked a new direction in the saga of a beloved character.

Miles Morales as Spider-Man is a coming-of-age tale of a smart, affable teen coming into his power. From his reluctance to becoming a super hero to his desire to help others, to the rocky balance between his school life and super hero responsibilities, Miles is always at the precipice of making tough decisions-choices whose consequences are as weighted in his personal life as they often are for the survival of the world.

Ytasha L. Womack's entry in the Marvel Age of Comics looks at the hugely successful reimagining of one of the most popular super hero characters of all time.

1. Miles Morales and quantum physics' Many Worlds Multiverse Theory
2. Black Puerto Rican, Puerto Rican/Afro Latine histories and lived experiences
3. The dynamics of building on a legacy character and reimagining an iconic super hero
4. Miles Morales as super hero, the Spider-Man mythos, and his coming-of-age identity
5. The complex legacy of education and opportunity for kids of color
6. Miles's coming of age saga
7. Destiny and gifts

A genuinely touching look into one of the most important comic characters of the modern era, and Womack goes to great lengths to explore that importance. . . .

An awesome book.

Comic Book Club
Womack goes beyond mere character study and explores the significance of having an Afro-Latino teenager portray a legacy character. Delving into everything from the significance of Miles being from Brooklyn to his connections to the trickster god Ananse, Womack presents a critical deep dive into how Miles is more than just another alternate universe Spider-Man.
