When the most recent volume of the Miles Morales: Spider-Man concluded a few months ago after 42 issues, readers knew it was only a matter of time before Marvel relaunched the book with a new creative team. Sure enough, today the publisher announced the launch of a new Miles Morales: Spider-Man book from the creative team of writer Bryan Edward Hill (Ultimate Black Panther) and artist Nico Leon (Psylocke) arriving this August.
According to the press release, the series will see a sinister figure from Miles’ father’s past come back to threaten not just Miles but the entire Morales family.
Upon returning to Brooklyn after a chaotic trip to the Ultimate Universe, Miles is inundated with the trials and tribulations of the teenage superhero struggle – fighting through supervillains (and homework) and still finding time for date night or dinner with the folks. So, it’s a bit of an unwelcome surprise when a dangerous secret from his father’s S.H.I.E.L.D. past returns with a vengeance and threatens the lives of everyone he holds dear.
The creative team expressed immense enthusiasm for the launch of this new title:
“I was really humbled when Marvel contacted me because Miles Morales is such an important character to people,” said writer Bryan Edward Hill. “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, and being able to step into that lineage now is a real privilege,” explains artist Nico Leon. “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,” adds series editor Tom Groneman. “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 will feature a main cover by Simone Di Meo and arrive in comic shops on Wednesday, August 12, 2026.
