With a target on the back of Spider-Man and the entire Morales family, Miles Morales will need to dig deeper than ever before to protect his neighborhood and those he loves as the superstar team of writer Bryan Edward Hill (Ultimate Black Panther) and artist Nico Leon (Psylocke) kick off a new era in August’s MILES MORALES: SPIDER-MAN #1.
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.
Writer Bryan Edward Hill said about the series:
“I was really humbled when Marvel contacted me because Miles Morales is such an important character to people. 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.”
Series editor Tom Groneman added:
“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. 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!”
