“The theme is the same: With great power comes great responsibility,” “He’s going to learn that. Then he has to figure out what that means.”
Marvel’s editor in chief, Axel Alonso went one with this:
“What you have is a Spider-Man for the 21st century who’s reflective of our culture and diversity. We think that readers will fall in love with Miles Morales the same way they fell in love with Peter Parker.”
Interesting stuff BH fans, expect the verdict on this one as it drops!
