The Press Release:
This year, Marvel Comics will commemorate the 10th anniversary of one of its brightest stars—Miles Morales! The young Brooklyn-based Spider-Man took the world by storm when he was created by writer Brian Michael Bendis and artist Sara Pichelli’s in 2011’s Ultimate Fallout #4 and has skyrocketed to stardom ever since. The last decade has seen Miles star in both his own hit ongoing series as well as team books such as Champions and All-New Avengers plus major appearances in film, video games, and more. Marvel is proud to celebrate the character’s incredible impact this year with a series of variant covers crafted by the industry’s top artists including Mike Del Mundo, Javier Garrón, and Russell Dauterman. This stunning series of covers will showcase Miles in a variety of different iconic looks from his classic suit to the inspired collection of suits from the blockbuster PlayStation game Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales designed by the Insomniac Games character art team and its talented artists. See him team up with heroes from throughout the Marvel Universe on the covers of your favorite ongoing series starting in September!

PiercingMetal Thoughts: Way back when Miles Morales was introduced I was very against a “new” Spider-Man because I only knew Peter Parker as the web-slinger since as far back as I could remember. That being said, I eventually took to him and have enjoyed his comic book adventures and just loved the animated film from a couple of years ago. It’s a good character and increases the diversity that is needed in the titles. Now its common knowledge to most of our readers that I don’t purchase the variant covers because I use whatever surplus comic book money I end up with for other things on the racks as opposed to a second edition with a variant cover. This only applies to non-KISS related things since the Simmons Implant kicks in on that stuff after all. What do you readers think about these variants? Will you be adding them to your pull list? The press was only sent under a dozen of them but if more come down the pike I will edit them into this post or do a new one based on when they are revealed. See you next time, please be careful out there.
