Spider-Man no more?

In addition to the proportionate strength of a spider, Miles Morales can climb walls, turn invisible and fire venom blasts. He's even got a new set of web-shooters used by Peter Parker himself. But none of it prevented his mother's death, or spared his father from a life-changing injury in a brutal fight against Venom. Miles is convinced he caused the tragedy - so in an emotion-filled decision, he has put away the costume, swearing never to fight as Spider-Man again. But two new super-powered teenagers, Cloak and Dagger, have emerged. And when the Taskmaster breaks up their fight with the juvenile delinquent Bombshell, innocent lives are at stake!

It's a job for someone with great power and great responsibility, but Miles Morales is Spider-Man no more!
