Six Big Surprises from Apple’s 2018 iPhone Reveal
Be sure to visit IGN Tech for all the latest comprehensive hands-on reviews and best-of roundups.
Apple’s "Gather Round" event yesterday was a highly anticipated event for Apple fans since it’s always fascinating to see what the company has been working on lately. A company with Apple’s resources is seemingly always capable of unveiling a few surprises, so every event they hold has a lure of “one more thing” or something totally unexpected like last year’s iPhone X (despite leaks). This year’s event didn’t provide much in the way of “oh wow” moments, but there were a few surprises at least, but not all of them were positive.
Spider-Man Miles Morales Returns in New Marvel Series
Miles Morales is having a huge year. Not only is Miles a major character in Insomniac's Spider-Man game and the star of the upcoming animated movie Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, his comic series is due for a major relaunch at the end of the year.
We can exclusively reveal that Marvel is debuting a new comic called Miles Morales: Spider-Man in December 2018. The new series will be the first ongoing Miles Morales book not written by co-creator Brian Michael Bendis. Instead, Exiles writer Saladin Ahmed and Secret Warriors artist Javier Garron will be charting the next major chapter in Miles' superhero career.
