Ultimate Spin #4: Hurry Up and Wait

Ultimate Spin looks at a different strand of Spider-Man’s web, namely the one belonging to Miles Morales – the young man who’d inherited the mantle of great power and responsibility following the death of Peter Parker in Marvel’s Ultimate Spider-Man series.

Whether you’ve been following Miles since he was introduced in 2011 or if you’ve been on the fence about giving him a chance, Ultimate Spin is your podcast companion to Miles’ adventures as Spider-Man. Marvel relaunched the series as Miles Morales: The Ultimate Spider-Man in 2014, along with a boldly different series about his team, entitled All-New Ultimates.

Ultimate Spin features an international group of Spider-Man fans reviewing and discussing the stories in those two series, as well as chatting about the history of the Ultimate Spider-Man series and what the future has in store for Miles.

Double-shipping this month, we’re back with a look at the highly anticipated Miles Morales: Ultimate Spider-Man issue 5. We also check out the beginning of a crossover arc with the All-New X-Men, answer some questions from our listeners, and talk about the solicitations for upcoming Spider-books (possibly exasperating Kyle in the process).
