​We all know the general outline of the story: In Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse (currently on Netflix), teenager Miles Morales finds himself thrust into the role of Spider-Man after being bitten by a radioactive spider. He faces incredible odds, suffers devastating losses, and manages to find a way to stand up again. It’s a tale as old as time (or at least as old as human storytelling) so the key to tell it successfully is to do so in new, creative, and compelling ways. Spider-Verse accomplishes these goals and so much more.
