Miles Morales: Spider-Man #3
(W) Bryan Hill (A) Valentine De Landro, Nico Leon
SPIDER-MAN made a mistake. He got in the way. Now Jeff Morales’ past isn’t just back to haunt him. Miles’ friends and family could all end up as collateral. Jeff may be complicit in this villain’s rise… but what role did the Kingpin of Crime play? And how can Spidey hope to stop a foe who can mess with Miles’ own uncanny spider-powers?!
With the November 3 midterm election weeks away, Rock the Vote will distribute limited edition copies of REGISTER! #1, a comic book about voting rights, at the upcoming Power to the People concert.
The REGISTER! series takes readers through the American constitutional amendments that expanded the right to vote. In issue #1, readers learn about the passage of the 26th amendment and the history of the “Old Enough to Fight, Old Enough to Vote” movement. It blends history with contemporary narratives and includes an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at how the book was made.
Published by Good Trouble Comics, it was written by Andrew Aydin and illustrated by Valentine De Landro with lettering by Clayton Cowles and coloring by Marissa Louise.
The comic was first produced for the New York City Department of Education and it is available to a wider audience as voting rights faces serious pressure across the country.
Changing registration rules, shifting deadlines, and ongoing legal and legislative fights over who can vote, and how, make it more important than ever that voters, especially young people, know their rights and check their registration status before it’s too late.

Miles Morales: Spider-Man #2
(W) Bryan Hill (A) Valentine De Landro, Nico Leon
SINS OF THE FATHER! ENTER GRENDEL — a super villain from Jeff Morales’ past who will stop at nothing to have his revenge against the former S.H.I.E.L.D. agent… but their seemingly perfect plan didn’t count on SPIDER-MAN! But how can Miles Morales fight an enemy who has a counter for his every move and power? What tragic events led to Grendel’s fall – and what does Miles’ dad have to do with it?
Easter Sunday. Sunrise service. A quiet Midwestern suburb. And something has just fallen out of the sky. Grab your baskets! Mad Cave Studios has announced Egg Hunt, a new four-issue sci-fi horror series from bestselling writer Benjamin Percy, artist Raúl Fernández, colorist Giada Marchisio, and letterer Micah Myers.
Easter Sunday in the Midwest. Sunrise service. The Lord has risen, and the hungry will come. A visitor crash-lands in the woods surrounding the picket-fence suburbia where little Piper lives with her mom Tina and her nasty stepdad Don. The world is frightening and alien for both Piper and her new…friend… but on this day of cosmic forgiveness, when her family falls apart, the unlikely pair may find their own salvations.
The series features a main cover by Martín Morazzo, with variants by Cully Hamner and Valentine De Landro, including a De Landro virgin variant, Hamner foil variant, and Morazzo glow-in-the-dark variant.
Part creature feature, part suburban nightmare, Egg Hunt brings cosmic horror crashing into the Midwest, pairing the terror of first contact with a child searching for salvation in a home already coming apart.
Egg Hunt #1 goes on sale November 18, 2026. At 32 pages, each issue is priced at $4.99, with select specialty variants priced at $6.99.
Miles Morales is back in black (and red)! Spider-Man thinks he has it allllll handled: homework, super-villains…a new school crush?? No, no–Miles’ is focused on what matters: helping the good folks of Brooklyn. Friendly. Neighborhood. Spider-Manning at his best! But a vengeful villain from Jeff Morales’ past with SHIELD threatens to destroy not only Spider-Man–but the entire Morales family! Miles Morales: Spider-Man #1 is an interesting debut that feels like a bit of a reset as it charts the next chapter for Miles, his friends, and family.
I’m by no means a Miles Morales expert. He’s a character I’ve read a lot of comics of, but he’s also one I don’t necessarily always follow. I might read an arc or a mini-series, but I’ve rarely regularly read his solo ongoing comics. Like Spider-Man in general, I drop in and out of following his adventures. But, with Miles Morales: Spider-Man #1, I get to start “fresh” with a new first issue and see what I might have missed and where things are going.
Written by Bryan Edward Hill, Miles Morales: Spider-Man #1 is an entertaining start that does a good job of laying the groundwork for what’s to come while also reflecting on Miles’ recent adventures. You don’t need to know everything and Hill expertly rewards long-time readers while also making it new reader friendly. Miles quickly goes over the major changes and adventures in his life while his friend Ganke discusses measuring his powers while listing them off. In one or two panels, new readers quickly get the information they need to do. That allows the comic to really focus on Miles’ current status while introducing a new villain.
And, the new villain is interesting. With ties to Miles’ fathers’ past, this mystery helps build off of what has come before in a natural way and creates a thread that feels organic and not a random new villain. The new baddie also feels like a challenge for Miles making no clear answer to how he can be defeated.
Hill also focuses on Miles’ personal life with him back in school and a possible new love interest. The interactions between Miles and Valentina are nice and cute and there’s potential there but you also know things are going to go sideways at some point. She’ll not be who she says or she’ll become someone that can be threatened to get to Miles. There’s just too many teases things aren’t quite as innocent as they could be and there’s something more coming.
Where the comic stumbles a bit is in some of the dialogue. Miles is a teenager and there’s just some moments that don’t feel like something any current kid would say. It’s small moments but enough for me to pause. (Do kids still say “preach”?). It also could be the awkwardness that is Miles in general and I’m not familiar with. But, I’m not around teenage boys so maybe I’m completely off in that.
The art by Nico Leon is fantastic. With color by Bryan Valenza and lettering by Cory Petit, the pages pop with a bright energy about it. Even when battling a villain, the comic still has a style where it doesn’t seem dark and brooding. The only gripe is Valentina’s eyes are supposed to be really “pretty” and stand out but they don’t really pop on the page. Valentine De Landro also provides art in flashback sequences that tell the connection between Miles’ dad and the new villain that does have a more ominous feel about them. It’s a nice contrast between the two styles and really shifts the tone.
Miles Morales: Spider-Man #1 is an entertaining start and does a solid job of balancing everything it needs to. New readers can hop in while ongoing readers get something new as well. The villain feels natural and like a real threat. It’s a solid debut that’s well worth checking out.
