MILES MORALES & ME: Why the new biracial Spider-Man matters - Comic Riffs - The Washington Post

I find that Miles Morales  - the new Spider-Man - has made profound waves and he's only appeared in one issue so far! David Betancourt has written a very passionate essay about what this change means to a life-long fan. One of my favorite quotes from the article is:
Black superheroes, of course, have made their mark on the comic book industry — including not only Black Panther but also Storm and Spawn, for example — but this is different. This is Marvel taking the mantle of their flagship character — one of the most important comic-book characters in history — and placing the characters in the hands of a kid who reflects a more accurate portrayal of the diversity of where we are in the world right now.
This is a great article, check it outl
