Notes
Biracial like Spider-Man
At the Washington Post, David Betancourt writes about discovering that the new Ultimate Spider-Man, Miles Morales, is just like him and why Miles Morales is important. He also talks about the backlash against a biracial Spider-Man. Andre the Black Nerd has posted a special rant about “the racism surrounding Miles Morales and explain[s] why a Black Spider-Man is perfect.” Newsarama interviews Ultimate Spider-Man writer, Brian Michael Bendis about the character. Robot 6 wrote a nice piece, “How Donald Glover Finally Secured the Role of Spider-Man.”
