Miles Morales Returns to His Classic Spider-Man Costume for New Series

By Timothy Adams

When Miles Morales starts a new era of his web-slinging career in December, he's going to do it wearing his classic Spider-Man costume. Writer Cody Ziglar and artist Federico Vicentini are relaunching Miles Morales: Spider-Man, taking over for the departing Saladin Ahmed. His run on Miles Morales: Spider-Man included the introduction of a brand new costume to celebrate Miles' 10th anniversary. Designed by artist Chase Conley, the new suit went with a streetwear vibe, adding a baggy sweatshirt and sneakers to the hero's crime-fighting attire. However, a new volume of Miles Morales' ongoing series calls for a return to his classic look.

What Is Miles Morales' Classic Spider-Man Costume?

Miles Morales was created by Brian Michael Bendis and Sara Pichelli in 2011. When he took over the mantle of Spider-Man from the deceased Peter Parker, his costume was primarily black with red webbing and a spider chest emblem. Miles brought that costume with him from the Ultimate Universe to the Marvel Prime Universe (Earth-616) in the fallout of Secret Wars.

Miles Morales Debuts Updated Costume in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse

The award-winning Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse revealed a slightly updated take on Miles Morales' superhero costume. It kept the same design and gave the spider chest emblem a spray-painted look. However, the animated movie remained faithful to the comics, and will continue that trend in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.

Miles Morales: Spider-Man #1 Brings Back His Classic Costume

Covers and interior art for December's Miles Morales: Spider-Man #1 show Miles back to wearing his black costume, compared to his newer streetwear suit. The sweatshirt and sneakers are gone as Spider-Man battles Scorpion and poses for cover art. Peach Momoko provides two variant covers, alternating between Miles' old and new costumes.
