Miles Morales First Appearance: Ultimate Fallout #4 and How to Identify It

Miles Morales first appeared in Ultimate Fallout #4 (cover date October 2011), published by Marvel, by Brian Michael Bendis, Sara Pichelli. The source puts it this way: "This book has the first appearance of Miles Morales as Spider-Man in its separate Ultimate universe.".

• CGC Comic of the Month confirmation: CGC's feature confirms this book contains the first appearance of Miles Morales as Spider-Man in the separate Ultimate universe.
• Unmasking reveal scene in the story (interior content): in the story, this Spider-Man unmasks himself to reveal an African-American/Latino boy named Miles Morales, who says it would be in bad taste for him to wear a Spider-Man costume.

• Indicia: the small print on the first page or inside cover gives the issue number, date and publisher; reprints usually say so there.
• Cover price and barcode: a price or barcode format that did not exist in the year printed means a later edition.
• Paper and staples: decades-old newsprint is tan at the edges; bright white pages on an old date are a warning sign.
• Restoration: color touch, trimmed edges and married covers are common on expensive keys; a grading service can detect them.

Shoot the front cover flat, straight on, in even light, then the indicia page and the back cover. Include the top edge and staples in one frame. The app reads the title, issue number and cover and matches it against the checks above; the indicia photo settles most reprint questions.
