If you're a comic book fan, you'll know that being Spider-Man is a constant battle. That's always been the case for Peter Parker, and is for Miles Morales too; supervillains, school work, balancing a personal life with his responsibilities as a hero, son, and brother...but every time he falls, Miles Morales rises stronger than before. Until now.
This December, acclaimed writer Cody Ziglar and artist Federico Vicentini launch a new run of Miles Morales: Spider-Man where they’ll put the young hero through his greatest trial yet. Whether he’s attending school as Miles or swinging through the streets as Spidey, Miles Morales' Spider-Sense is about to go into overdrive.
Now, you can get a glimpse at the danger that awaits in this high-stakes new era with the trailer for the series featuring never-before-seen artwork.
Packed with action, it includes Miles’ opening showdown with Scorpion and the thrilling debut of new villain Rabble, while also giving readers a glimpse at more personal beats such as his school troubles and his new mentorship under Misty Knight.
"There’s the drama of it, he’s fighting villains and stuff but also, he’s a young kid, he’s a teenager. He’s got his best friend, he’s got cool powers and yes that comes with some negatives, but he’s trying to do his best," Ziglar explains. "He has a great support system. His parents know that he’s a superhero, they support him fully, but they’re also like just be careful out there."
"I love that optimism that this Spidey has had and I definitely want to continue to bring that through because I’m a comedy writer. I dip into the drama when I need to, but I like having a good time."
The first issue of Miles Morales: Spider-Man arrives in comic book stores on December 7, beginning a spectacular new era in the life of the beloved superhero.
