This Fall, Miles Morales -- the biracial Spider-Man from Marvel's Ultimate Universe -- will be getting his own Spider-Man comic book series by writer Brian Michael Bendis and artist Sara Pichelli, according to the New York Daily News . With the Ultimate Universe being destroyed during Secret Wars, the fate of Miles was up in the air, but now we know that he will continue on in the main Marvel Universe.

“Many kids of color who when they were playing superheroes with their friends, their friends wouldn’t let them be Batman or Superman because they don’t look like those heroes but they could be Spider-Man because anyone could be under that mask,” Bendis told the outlet in an interview. “But now it’s true. It’s meant a great deal to a great many people.”That Miles would not only survive Secret Wars but come out of it with his own series is not exactly a surprise, as it was telegraphed by his appearance on a recent teaser for All-New, All-Different Marvel . In the image, he was alongside Spider-Man Peter Parker, whose post-Secret Wars whereabouts this Fall are still a mystery.You can spot the "Parker Industries" logo in the background of the Miles image above, which to us implies that Peter will still be around in some capacity.Artist David Marquez has been the artist for Miles' Spider-Man comic for some time now, but with him taking on The Invincible Iron Man (also written by Bendis), this allows Pichelli to return to the character she co-created.
