Spider-Man No. 2 is about the issue of identity
The issue in question is Spider-Man No. 2 — the second installment of Brian Michael Bendis and Sara Pichelli's comic about the adventures of Miles Morales. Morales, who is black and Hispanic, is dealing with coming into his own in a world where everyone knows Spider-Man as Peter Parker. The first two pages of issue two address the problem explicitly.

Writer J.A. Micheline, who contributes to the comic book websites Comics Alliance and Women Write About Comics, summarized the discontent on Twitter, explaining that the issue is not that the feeling Bendis wrote about doesn't exist — it's that many people feel it wasn't executed in a thoughtful way:

The point that Micheline and other fans are making is an important one: If you want to create art and tell stories involving people of color, you need to have people of color in positions that matter.




This the best the writers can come up with?

Don't really have a problem with it. If anything, it's addressing the SJWs who kept wanting Miles to be in the lead in the new spider man film just because he's black

Is that seriously important enough to be mentioned and be part of the comics? They're just making everything awkward.

Piccolo: Just how many people have you sacrificed?!

Cell: Sacrifice? Hmph, rubbish! On the contrary, it is an honor to become a fraction of my power.

It truly was a Shawshank redemption

"I don't want to be the 'Black Spiderman', I want to be 'Spiderman'" A line from a storyline that centres around Spiderman being black. Sure, makes sense.

"Next time?"
"Course. Doing better next time. That's what life is."
