Some of those emotions are personal and private. Obviously there are a lot of powerful emotions involved in wrapping a work like this, even when it’s done under the best of circumstances.
For nearly four years this book was the center of my creative and professional life. And, uh, about beef patties and gloopy clones. About what responsibility means in our world today.
About coming back from trauma and helping others to do the same. I tried to make it a book about family and community. In the many many months since I’ve put more of my time and energy into MILES MORALES: SPIDER-MAN than any other project I’ve ever been a part of. But I really believe iconic superheroes become icons by having their stories told from many angles by different sorts of people. There’s a particular pressure that comes from tackling a much-beloved but newly minted hero. When Marvel asked me to take over writing Miles’ main series in 2018 I was thrilled but also intimidated. I’ve been trying to find a way to sum up how I feel right now, but words fail me depsite being a writer. That oversized special issue is out in September with an all-star roster of Miles artists and this PHENOMENAL cover by the great Taurin Clarke. This is a long-planned exit, with the symbolically significant issue #42 having been a target departure for some time now. Readers have been supporting the book wonderfully, and I’ve been given all the space I need to tell the stories I wanted to tell. To be clear, this is an intended ending, not a cancellation. Today, with a deep satisfied sigh limned with the sadness of saying goodbye, I can announce that I am stepping down as the writer of MILES MORALES: SPIDER-MAN.
