Miles Morales Reading Order (Spider-Man, Champions, Ultimate)

Spider-Man: Miles Morales Reading Order

If Peter Parker is the main Spider-Man, there are a lot of alternative versions of Spider-Man in the Marvel Universe. Miles Morales is one of the superheroes who wear the Spidey costume.

When the Peter Parker of the Ultimate Universe falls, the world needs a Spider-Man — and here comes Miles Morales! But what’s the secret behind his powers — and can he master them before the Scorpion strikes? Family life gets complicated as Miles learns the truth about his uncle Aaron, and Captain America comes calling when war breaks out! Miles shares a multiversal meeting of the Spider-Men with the Marvel Universe’s Peter Parker, but what tragedy could leave the young hero swearing never to wear the webs again? There’ll be familiar faces, heroic allies, deadly menaces, a startling return and a sprinkling of romance in the complete Ultimate Universe adventures of Miles Morales!

Created by Brian Michael Bendis et Sara Pichelli, Miles Morales made his first appearance in Ultimate Fallout #4 in August 2011 — in the Ultimate brand.

A young kid from Brooklyn on Earth-1610, he follows in the footsteps of Peter Parker in the Ultimate Universe before being made a character in the main Marvel Universe. He was also the star of the animated movie Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, but we are here today to retrace his comic book history, so let’s go!

Navigating our Spider-Man Miles Morales Guide:

You can explore the complete history of the Jade Giantess with our Miles Morales Comics Guide, taking you from her classic stories on Earth-1610 by Brian Michael Bendis to the highs and lows of his many adventures on Earth-616 with Saladin Ahmed and Cody Ziglar, his time with the Champions, his adventures with the Spider Family, and more – collected in Omnibuses, epic collections, and classic trade paperbacks.

Spider-Man: Miles Morales Comics Reading Order

Miles Morales: The Ultimate Spider-Man (2011-2015)

Following the events of Fallout, Miles Morales took up the mantle of Spider-Man! Young Miles was poised to start the next chapter in his life in a new school. Then, a spider’s bite granted the teenager incredible arachnid-like powers. Now, Miles has been thrust into a world he doesn’t understand, with only gut instinct and a little thing called responsibility as his guides! Can he live up to Peter’s legacy as Spider-Man?

You can easily collect this period in Omnibus or in Epic Collection. However, if none of those format appeals to you, you will soon be able to relive Miles Morales’ first adventure as the Ultimate Spider-Man in the brand-new compact edition Miles Morales: The Ultimate Spider-Man [2027] (the contents is similar to the first Epic Volume, except it does not include the Spider-Men miniseries).

And after 18-year, Brian Michael Bendis says goodbye to Miles Morales in the following stories.

    Would love for this reading list to get updated! Been following religiously and it’s been helping me out so much.

      Hi Ryan!

      Following your comment, I just updated the order. I added the last Spider-Verse event, and the last few TPBs. Volume 3 will be released in August.

      For the occasion, I added the omnibus section at the top of the article (with the addition of the Spider-Verse Omni as I think you can’t really, whatever your favorite Spider, skip it).

      Hope it helps and don’t hesitate to leave a comment if I have forgotten something or made a mistake!

        Thank you so much! I just picked up the Spider-Verse omnibus as well! I’m at Spider-Geddon right now, so a lot more reading to do. Thanks for updating it so quickly!

    Im asking what the next tab, or volume, is going to be because there are 42 spiderman miles morales issues but whe are only on the 24, im only asking since im curious.(you dont need to respond)

      Gurshan,

      I updated the article with the future releases for the ongoing series. This month’s issue was Miles Morales: Spider-Man (Vol. 2) #25. This actual run is from writer Cody Ziglar and artist Federico Vicentini.

      I think you are confusing the actual run with the previous one from Saladin Ahmed – Miles Morales: Spider-Man Vol. 1 – which lasted 42 issues. There is an omnibus collecting this run, and the trades are all listed in the guide. It starts in the part “Miles Morales: Spider-Man (2018–present)”, when Marvel launched the Fresh Start era.

      I will look it up to create a more explicit scission in our guide to avoid any future confusion between the two volumes!

      Hope this information helps you navigate the world of Miles Morales!

    I wanna ask if there is a ultimate spider-man reading order (the 1610 version) I can’t find any and the ones in Reddit are hard to understand unlike the ones you guys make.
    Thanks

    Hey been reading these comics and I’ve noticed that there are new releases, wonder if you could update it(and btw why is the miles Morales release under blood hunt black when it’s in the main order(I’m assuming that the black ones aren’t needed to read, but the blue ones are))

      Hey Gael,

      Thanks for your message.

      First, The “Miles Morales: Spider-Man by Cody Ziglar Vol. 5” was in black because at the time of the update, he wasn’t yet available on pre-order I assume. So no links (the links are in blue!) I changed that, thanks!

      As the Miles Morales reading order was updated less than 6 months ago, I don’t think we are missing much. I’ll put it on my list but to be honest, it will have to wait a little as I have other guides to update before coming back to this one. Thank you for your patience.

        I think it is correct since in the fist issue of webs of wakanda miles gets a new suit which he doesn’t have it in the spider-men issue. But that is just a guess, but thanks for updating anyway!

    Hello,
    I’ve been looking for a Miles reading order for a long time and just found yours. It looks perfect.
    But, I was wondering when it’ll be updated with the new ultimate universe story and others.
    Thanks!
