The decision to kill off Ultimate Peter Parker was met with a mixed reactions from fans, as was his replacement; the half-black, half-Hispanic Miles Morales. Now the new Ultimate Spider-Man comic is getting rave reviews and has made converts of quite a few fans but there are still those unwilling to accept the change. CBR have posted a very interesting article on the new Ultimate Universe and in it Marvel Editor In Chief Axel Alonso speaks about the decisions made regarding ol Peter Parker..
"We didn't kill Peter Parker easily, we realised that 'Death of Spider-Man' would complete Peter's arc. I think it's beautiful now that ten years later we have a new launch and a new guy on his own journey of self discovery.
"Peter Parker has been around for decades and he's got fans who are all colours. At the end of the day, Miles also transcends race, and that's all I'll have to say about it."
