I do not think that there can ever be enough books about anything and I say that knowing that some of them are going to be about Pilates.The more knowledge the better seems like a solid rule of thumb, even though I have watched enough science fiction films to accept that humanity’s unchecked pursuit of learning will end with robots taking over the world.-Sarah Vowell

Ultimate Comics Spider-Man Vol. 2 by Brian Michael Bendis (Writer), Chris Samnee (Artist), Sara Pichelli (Artist), David Marquez (Artist), Justin Ponsor (Colorist), VC's Cory Petit (Letterer)
Previously, Peter Parker was killed and Miles Morales had just started at a boarding school on a scholarship when he is bitten by a spider and given special powers like venom inducing and super speed. The Ultimates give him a specially designed costume as thanks for helping out with Electro. He finds out that his dad and his uncle used to do illegal things and that his uncle never quit and is known as the Prowler. He has told his best friend Ganke about his newfound abilities.
The Prowler goes to Mexico to deliver his shipment to the Scorpion and instead screws him over and takes his money. He hears about a new Spider-Man and figures out it must be Miles and heads back to New York City to see how he can cash in on this. Meanwhile, the Scorpion is not taking this lying down. He wants revenge and he heads to New York City to get it.
Miles decides to be Spider-Man even though he's not sure how to be him yet. The suit helps him in a way. It moves for him. Ganke finds some old footage of Peter Parker fighting and Miles studies that in hopes of learning from it. Miles must also try not to get caught missing from his room by the teacher. Though sneaking out is easy with his ability to blend in with his surroundings and pretty much become invisible.
I love Bendis's work on All New X-Men: Yesterday's X-Men and Jessica Jones, but this one is missing something for me. I don't know quite what it is yet. I'll give the series another shot because he deserves that much.
