Rated T
The title may not have a big, attention-grabbing descriptor attached to the front like other Spider-Man comics have in the past, but that's OK, because words like "amazing" and "spectacular" wouldn't really do it justice. Read Full Review
This is a fun comic that'll find its way into the stockings for a couple of my nieces and nephews this Christmas. Well-timed Marvel. And well-done, Ahmed, Garrn, Curiel, and Petit. Miles Morales: Spider-Man #1 is a winner, and I am proud to declare myself a fan. Read Full Review
Javier Garron's art in this issue is amazing. All of the characters look great. Miles looks awesome in the action scenes in costume and his fight with Rhino was brilliantly done. A well done first issue. Read Full Review
About as good as a first issue can get. Ahmed and Garron get through a lot of build up to establish Miles' new status quo and kick-start the conflict. This is a strong, layered, and highly relatable Spider-Man you can't miss. Read Full Review
This creative team is off to a great start, and I can't wait to read issue 2. Read Full Review
Miles Morales - Spider-Man #1isa perfect example of how to introduce new readers to this corner of Marvel's world. Read Full Review
I can go on and on about everything this first issue does well, from Javier Garrn's stellar artwork and action scenes to the excellent writing. It all boils down to me telling you that Miles Morales: Spider-Man is an excellent starting off point for new and old readers alike. It's also the promise of some exciting storylines to come.

Though the book's hitting shelves a little early, anyone curious about Miles after walking out of Into the Spider-Verse will be able to pick up Miles Morales: Spider-Man #1 and feel right at home in just one issue without the stress of navigating decades of old storylines to try to catch up.

The team of Saladin Ahmed, Javier Carron, and David Curiel has assembled like the Avengers to put Miles Morales at center stage. With a movie poised to do MAJOR numbers on the way, Miles Morales is going to be a household name and may even rival the popularity of Peter Parker in the future. This book takes the time to reintroduce you to the life of Miles Morales, but it also sets the stage for a mystery that may unite Miles with an iconic Spider-Man villain. Read Full Review
The new series for Miles Morales: Spider-Man looks like it's going to be an interesting read. If you've been a fan of his character in the past, then you'll likely enjoy the new version. If you avoided the older series because of some of the complaints from before, then you might want to consider giving this one a try. Read Full Review
Miles Morales: Spider-Man #1 might not have flashy visuals, but Saladin Ahmed crafts a wonderful journey for Miles Morales as he deals with moral ambiguity and social injustice to go with the usual teen superhero soap opera elements of punching bad guys and romance. It's also nice to see a hero be open about their secret identity around their family and get support from them, and so this comic evokes shades of the fantastic work John Rogers, Keith Giffen, and Rafael Albuquerque did with Jaime Reyes onBlue Beetle.

There's a good story in this book, but it feels as if Marvel had too much influence in the first half. Read Full Review
This is an improvement for sure. Ahmed shows that he has good, concrete ideas for Miles and his supporting cast, and understands how they should be written. It doesn’t really set up much in terms of plot threads, but what it does there will hold most readers’ interest. The artists bring a lot of energy to the table, something I think will go a long way in making people realizing that they really enjoyed the issue after finishing it. Miles fan for a while or newly interested, check it out. Read Full Review
Final Verdict: 7.8 " a well crafted but slow and decompressed issue that takes too long to swing into action. Read Full Review
A solid cliffhanger and wonderful art will leave you wanting more from what may end up being Ahmed's best work since Black Bolt. Read Full Review
This is a good first issue of Miles Morales that shows Ahmed knows the character and gets everyone up to speed. Javier Garrons art is fantastic throughout and while the issue didnt blow me away like I was hoping, it has me confident that the book is in good hands going forward. Read Full Review
Saladin Ahmed has a good kick off to his run on Miles Morales: Spider-Man. Ahmed quickly established his understanding of Miles Morales and the world around him. Unfortunately the same can't be said by the villain, which is rushed and hurts one of the major sub-plots Ahmed tried to establish. That said, if you are a fan of the character Miles Morales: Spider-Man #1 is an issue I recommend checking out. For casual fans I recommend waiting to see how this story arc turns out before deciding to pick Miles Morales: Spider-Man up. Read Full Review
It's a suitable start with a rather brief fight with Rhino, but it doesn't leave me excited for more. Read Full Review
This is something you can throw to newcomers to learn what Miles as Spider-Man is all about, but if you've already invested any time with the character, you'll be bored outta your gourd! Read Full Review
Finally a comic with Miles that I can read! I was little worried, because Ahmed was mostly into more mature stuff, but he really nailed it here.
Great start by Ahmed. Love me some Garron and Curiel art!
I have to say Marvel choose poorly the regular cover artist. Festival that didn't me at all the need to take it, and this is not the kind of art we have inside. I left miles in the middle on is fight with is uncle (Once more). And I was ready to not give a crap about this reboot.
But I have too say, he tell a interesting story and choose a original angle. It's good because I feared that with bendis gone in the Distinguished Concurrences, marvel will lose interest in Miles. More Surprised after the awful job Ahmed do on Exiles.
Cover - I took the variant with the controller. Beautiful but not related 1/2
Writing - Interesting with some trump politic critic, a good mystery. Ok the fight with rhino is a little bumpy but wh more
After giving readers a thorough "get acquainted/reacquainted" intro, Miles gets into a misunderstanding brawl and picks up an unlikely ally in his investigation of brainwashed kids. The main focus of the script is establishing the right tone and voice for Miles. It succeeds in a solid (albeit not spectacular) way. The finely-detailed art with a good feel for action is a treat. The character work is excellent so far; future issues will hopefully massage the political message deeper into the story.
Pretty solid start here! Honestly wasn't too interested, but purchased on a whim. I'll definitely add this to my pull for at least the first arc.
This was a solid first issue that spends most of its time recapping Miles' history for all the newcomers. The art was a little iffy at times, I noticed. But the dialogue and writing seemed good, at least. Not much to say for someone who's read all of Miles' comics already.
Way too long exposition, but nice art and the writing was good, although there's not much happening yet.
This was a good intro for me, a person who doesn’t know much about this guy, but I don’t know, there wasn’t quite a connection for me.
This is a great book for new readers of Miles Morales. For older fans, like myself, this issue doesn't offer too much. Javier Garron is a welcomed artist to the series albeit a very standard one. Most of this issue is back story (which is perfectly acceptable for a new series) with not a lot of new story. I am interested to see where the plot will go from here for it seems fairly ambitious for a mainstream character.
Good dialogue and story so far is okay! The art looks eh. Really not safe to writing all Your secrets in a journal because within a few issues that thing is going to get stolen. Not a fan of how Ganke is introduced. He looks like he grew up and matured.
The art was definitely the saving grace of an otherwise quite dull book. I get that this is only the first issue and the writer is trying to get the readers up to speed, but it took too long to finally shift into gear for me. I also disliked the increased use of slang for miles’ dialogue, but could probably get used to as it’s only a minor point. After a disappointing series in 2016, this is not really the fresh start this book needed in #1, but I’m hoping the following issue will hit the ground runnning
Extremely boring, but I liked that Rhino thinks people play SEGA.
