The character Miles Morales was first reported by USA Today on August 2, 2011, shortly before the character officially debuted in Ultimate Fallout #4.[6][20] The announcement received international coverage in the mainstream media and was met with mixed reactions by audiences.[8] Chris Huntington of The New York Times lauded the creation of Morales, relating that it gave his adopted Ethiopian son Dagim a superhero who looks like him.[94] The Guardian and Culture Map Houston reported that some fans viewed the decision as an example of political correctness, and that the introduction of a minority Spider-Man was a publicity stunt to attract more readers,[7][8][9][10] while others felt that a person of color as Spider-Man would set a positive example for minority readers, particularly children.[11] Many Spider-Man fans were disappointed that Peter Parker was killed, regardless of who replaced him.[8] The wide-ranging critical reception prompted The Washington Post to run an article called, "Sorry, Peter Parker. The response to the black Spider-Man shows why we need one", in which writer Alexandra Petri wrote that the character should be judged on the quality of its stories rather than on his appearance or ethnicity
