12.15.2018 – Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is already out in cinemas right now and the merchandise has already been released like the Happy Meal toys that were already available as since December 7th. The action figures and other things related can be seen sold in department stores and toy stores anywhere. But the Spider-Verse figurines from McDonald’s Happy Meal have been not much as discussed in comparison to the previous Pokemon characters. Taking a closer look at all eight some might notice about the sticker labels as featured previously with the rest of the characters that appeared in the animated feature film and Miles Morales is in it.

Spider-Man #5 | In the Claws of Black Cat

07.06.2016 – Miles Morales is a different kind of Spider-Man, and if you look at the similarities between Peter Parker this younger protégé has more powers that make him as interesting as the original. But as a young buck Morales is still trying to figure his way out in the Marvel Universe and how his life is turning out to be. We haven’t seen him beyond the norn that Brian Michael Bendis has done for this character. Indeed Sara Pichelli makes this issue continue to be relevant and certainly had an appeal to how she puts Miles in a good light artistically. Last issue was something Miles has to face in both fronts of his personal and superhero life. Unfortunately the bad guys had the bet of him led by Hammerhead, but this motley crew of criminals has been a pushover to Peter Parker is becoming a challenge for the young Miles Morales to deal with including the Black Cat’s obsession with the ‘Spider-Man’ identity. In Filipino culture it would be funny how Felicia Hardy is the ‘Tita’ (term for older woman or Aunt-like personalities) being different age group with Parker her approach for the young Morales is all business.

Spider-Man #4 | Ganke & Goldballs

06.25.2016 – Miles Morales can’t get enough breaks from his reality and superhero life. You’ve got the coolest abilities and a little bit better than the original Spider-Man, but what makes it even more challenging is having a friend named Ganke. Ganke and Morales’ father are the only two people who know his secret identity; because you need people that you can trust when the going gets tough. But what‘s makes even more difficult is you have a friend who tries to be more than just a friend who teaches you about life and becoming Spider-Man. Of course add pressure when a new student an ex-X-Man named Goldballs is added to the school, and makes Ganke make things harder for Miles to keep the secret. The stress must be far worse what Peter Parker was getting back in the day. But at those school years where Parker kept the identity all to himself. This is a contrast to Miles Morales who just wants to have a decent life and one of the two people who you trust starting to act like he wants to be ‘cool’ too by letting Goldballs know what Miles is going through with the ‘superhero thing,’ was definitely uncool.

Spider-Man #3: Home Intervention!

04.20.2016 – Sometimes the best stories for any comicbook is the personal life of a superhero out of costume. You’ve probably read Matt Fraction and David Aja’s run telling the story of Hakweye when he’s not hanging out with the Avengers as Clint Barton, which was a refreshing perspective told in that point of view. Now you’ve got Mile Morales who have successfully beaten Blackheart in the two previous issues face up against the one individual that he can’t possibly beat or avoid and that is -- His Grandmother?! Brian Michael Bendis and Sara Pichelli takes the character they created appearing in the Ultimate universe to the main Marvel realm giving him the reality check that probably Peter Parker has never experienced. The third issue is about dealing with challenges closer to home and facing reality about his failing grades at the same time standing his ground against his very own grandmother. Something you don’t see in recent comicbooks nowadays is the domestic problems a superhero face.

Spider-Man #2: New York's Hero!

03.05.2016 – Previously in Spider-Man if you have missed the debut issue of Miles Morales in the All-New, All-Different Marvel Universe then this issue will give you an idea about the dynamic between these two Spider-Men. Peter Parker appears in the last page giving his younger counterpart what has he done with the Avengers. Not knowing what entirely happened in the first issue where the Avengers battled Black Heart and failed, where Miles Morales arrived and almost taken down single handed the son of Mephisto with his electrical “Venom Strike.” But at the end of the first issue nobody have witnessed that fight until Peter Parker arrived not believing that Miles what has happened and getting a mouthful lecture from his mentor. Now he gets a lecture from the original Spider-Man and then suddenly Black Heart appears behind him and knocks him out. Miles did defeat Black Heart and the Avengers like him better than the original. The first few pages where simply impressive as Sara Pichelli works define this series as one of the hot picks each month now that there’s a new Spider-Man in town.

Spider-Man #1: What Did You Do?!

02.25.2016 – “Spider-Man” for all everyone knew it was always Peter Parker, a teenager gaining all the abilities from a radioactive spider that bitten home. Beneath the costume is a struggling young man dealing with school and life besides taking down the bad guys left and right. Throughout the decades most who have known Spidey in all forms of medium has seen him grow and the character indeed have changed. But that Spider-Man was from a different generation most fans has gotten accustomed to while they are growing up. Peter Parker can’t stay young forever and as loon as his story is told things change and this generation might not get the same feel as those who first saw him. Here comes Miles Morales from the Ultimate Universe that replaced the previous Spidey in that world who also survived the recent Secret Wars. Now that Marvel has integrated him in the main universe Miles become more of this generation’s Spider-Man and things will continue to change. But with Miles Morales appeal can agree with this generation not with Peter Parker, but this kid who may be the better version of the original that everyone has ever known.
