Miles Morales is shedding the experiments of recent runs and returning to what made him an instant icon: that sleek red and black costume. Marvel has confirmed a brand-new Miles Morales: Spider-Man series, and the fan-favorite look is front and center for a fresh era of the Brooklyn web-slinger.
Steering the relaunch is writer Bryan Edward Hill, joined by artist Nico Leon. It’s a pairing built for momentum — Hill has a reputation for street-level, character-driven storytelling, while Leon’s kinetic linework is tailor-made for a hero whose whole identity is movement, improvisation and that signature electric crackle.
The headline for longtime readers, though, is the costume. After several runs that tweaked, swapped and reinvented his wardrobe, Miles is back in the suit that defined him. The red and black design isn’t just nostalgia bait — it’s a statement that this series wants to plant the character firmly back at the heart of the Spider-Verse, no gimmicks required.
Here’s what’s confirmed so far:
- Series: Miles Morales: Spider-Man
- Writer: Bryan Edward Hill
- Artist: Nico Leon
- Costume: the classic red and black suit returns
- First issue on sale: August 12
The pitch is a clean slate. Rather than picking up loose threads, the new run reframes Miles for a new audience — readers who met him through animation, games and crossovers, and who associate him with exactly that color scheme. Bringing the costume back is the most efficient way to say this is the Miles you already know, while handing the creative team room to build something new around him.
For Marvel, the timing makes sense. Miles has grown from a bold supporting experiment into one of the publisher’s most bankable characters, with reach far beyond the comics page. A relaunch with a marquee creative team and an instantly recognizable look is the kind of jumping-on point designed to convert casual fans into regular readers — the rare issue you can hand to someone who has never bought a comic before and expect them to follow along.
Whether Hill and Leon lean into Miles’ personal life, his place in the wider Spider-family, or a fresh rogues gallery remains to be seen. What’s clear is that the creative direction is built around accessibility and energy rather than continuity homework. The classic suit is the visual shorthand for all of it.
The first issue of Miles Morales: Spider-Man goes on sale August 12.
