Miles Morales must work harder than ever to protect his loved ones and his neighborhood when Spider-Man and the whole Morales family is targeted in Miles Morales: Spider-Man. Written by Bryan Edward Hill (Ultimate Black Panther) and illustrated by Nico Leon (Psylocke: Ninja), the new series begins in August 2026.

Miles is back in his classic red and black costume, has a new crush at school, and is back to being a Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man. He has returned to Brooklyn after the wild trip to the Ultimate Universe, and is immediately hit with the regular hiccups of being a teenager and dangers of being a superhero. The young superhero must find time for homework, dating, and dinner with his parents while battling villains.

Things get more complicated when a secret from his father’s past with S.H.I.E.L.D. emerges, putting the whole Morales family in danger. Miles will face off against Grendel, a villain that Jeff Morales once knew, who is seeking revenge against the former agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. With the ability to counter Spider-Man’s moves and power, Miles soon realizes that this is no ordinary foe. He’ll also question what led to Grendel becoming a villain, and how his dad connected to Grendel’s past.

“I was really humbled when Marvel contacted me because Miles Morales is such an important character to people,” Hill said. “No one knows, but I’m a HUGE Spider-Man and Spider-Verse fan, so I’m going all out here with new villains, new allies, thrilling action and a real exploration of that essential struggle of being a hero and maintaining a life connected to others.”

“Sara Pichelli opened the door to a new generation of comic book artists with Ultimate Comics Spider-Man (2011), and being able to step into that lineage now is a real privilege,” Leon said. “Drawing Miles Morales in his classic suit, a design that turned iconic from the first second, is an opportunity you can bet I will not take lightly.”

“Bryan Hill redefined what a Black Panther book could be for Ultimate Black Panther, and he’s raising the bar even higher with Miles Morales: Spider-Man,” series editor Tom Groneman said. “He and the incomparable Nico Leon are a dynamic duo of Spider-Storytelling greatness! Their passion for Miles shines through in every line of dialogue and every single brush stroke. This new story is truly special, and I can’t wait for fans to have the first issue in their hands!”

Miles Morales: Spider-Man #1 has a main cover by Simone Di Meo and will be in comic shops on August 12.
