He takes over the gig held by Peter Parker, who was killed in Ultimate Spider-Man Issue 160 in June.
In his first appearance, he simply breaks up a fight. But readers will learn the true origin of Morales and how he became the new Spider-Man when Ultimate Spider-Man relaunches in September with a new No. 1 issue.
'The theme is the same: With great power comes great responsibility,' says writer Brian Michael Bendis. 'He's going to learn that. Then he has to figure out what that means.'
