American Update: Spider-Mania Max/Mighty Marvel Firsts: Ultimate Fallout #4 – Miles Morales Becomes Spider-Man
*Marvel: At the turn of the century, Marvel decided to ‘reboot’ its entire universe by creating the ‘Ultimate’ line – reader-friendly, ground-floor entry series refreshing the classic characters with younger protagonists and modernised backgrounds for the 2000s. Although these ‘Earth-2’ series ultimately fizzled out, they had a very respectable run, racking up hundreds of issues for more than a decade, and one character ‘broke through’ to the mainstream Marvel Universe as we know it. In a shocking twist, Peter Parker, the Spider-Man of the Ultimate Universe, died and his mantle was taken by one Miles Morales, who subsequently emerged in the MU, and is active today, the star of his own popular series. This transition occurred in issue #4 of the 2011 mini-series Ultimate Fallout, where Miles takes up the Spider-Man identity for the first time, and we have the first printing of this now sought-after item in stock in NM-. If you just fancy reading the story, we also have as a bonus a second printing available in FN-.
