In the new comic book The Spectacular Spider-Men written by Greg Weisman and Humberto Ramos, Peter Parker and Miles Morales relationship dynamic evolves from that of a mentor-mentee to good friends and equals.
Although Miles Morales was introduced to the comic canon in 2011, almost 50 years after Peter Parker was introduced in 1962, there is a generation of readers who have grown up with Miles Morales as their Spider-Man. While the character is still only 16 years of age in the Marvel canon, him outgrowing the label of a junior hero and becoming a peer of Peter’s is a vital progression.
the Spectacular Spider—Men #1, introduces Peter and Miles establish a regular weekly meet up at a university coffeeshop every Wednesdays at 4pm to touch base as friends, outside their weekly crime fighting and arachnobatics (a term coined by Peter). However, it wasn’t long before a crime gets in the way, in the form of a hulk-sized jackal to interrupt their get together.
Defeating the Jackal is not the only thing the two spideys have to contend with, but more mysteries arise for them when a corpse is found in the university laboratory’s wreckage.
It is likely that strengthening their bond as friends will influence and enhance their abilities as crime fighters in this mysterious chapter for the spider-men.
