Afro-Latino Spider-Man Miles Morales Will Join the Canonical Marvel Universe This Fall
*If you follow Marvel Comics and Spider-Man you’ll know that there are two separate Spider-Man universes: the original Peter Parker universe and a second Miles Morales universe that appeared four years ago. The plan, according to Marvel, is return to one universe where Miles emerges as Spider-Man with an older Parker as his mentor. Even if you’re not into comics, this is pretty cool. VL
