Spider-Man, Issue #3 is the story of Miles Morales. It starts with his Latino grandmother coming over to the house and berating him about his grades, taking away his phone and grounding him. Ms. Marvel comes to visit him; anyone who's read Ms. Marvel knows that she's grounded 24/7, although her mother does figure out she's Ms. Marvel and cuts her some slack. She's an expert at getting in and out of trouble, and I'm looking forward to seeing more of her in this title.
It's still unclear what universe this takes place in, but I'm betting it's the Amazing Spider-Man's universe. Here's why. In the Ultimate Spider-Man universe, Peter Parker is dead, and Miles Morales becomes Spider-Man when he's 12. One of the bad guys refers to Morales as the "new" Spider-Man. I think that after the events of Spider-Men, when Peter Parker went to the Ultimate Spider-Man universe and met Miles Morales, he returned to his own universe and looked up the Miles Morales in his universe, helping him become Spider-Man.
I like the way Sara Pichelli and colorist Justin Ponsor use light in this title, particularly in the scenes in Miles's bedroom, with the light coming from the window and the hall as Ms. Marvel sneaks into his room, although the first half of the comic takes place over the course of maybe half an hour following Issue #2. Issue #4 promises more action.
