Bryan Edward Hill and Nico Leon put Miles Morales back in his classic black and red costume for the start of their new run and series in Miles Morales: Spider-Man #1.
The new renumbered series begins right after Mile’s chaotic trip to Marvel’s Ultimate Universe. Upon his return to the 616 , Miles is immediately forced to confront a villain from his father’s past with S.H.I.E.L.D. who is seeking vengeance against his entire family.
“I was really humbled when Marvel contacted me because Miles Morales is such an important character to people,” said 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 (2011), and being able to step into that lineage now is a real privilege,” explains 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,” said 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!”
