Miles Morales has quickly become one of the biggest stars in Marvel Comics, and certainly one of the best new character creations of the 2000’s. Miles has gone from taking up the mantle of Spider-Man in the Ultimate Universe to sharing the title with Peter Parker in Marvel’s “main” Earth-616 timeline.
Technically, Miles makes his Ultimate Universe introduction in the pages of Ultimate Comics Spider-Man #7 and Ultimate Fallout #4, but it’s really in his own Ultimate Comics Spider-Man launch that the character becomes an instant must-read.
Below you’ll find a complete guide to Miles Morales comics, from the Ultimate Universe on through present day.

Will i get confused if i start The Ultimates from issue 13? Should i read it from the beginning for better understanding of Miles’ storyline or is it not necessary?
I am noticing there is a mix of 616 and ultimate universe here, do I just mixnthe two with this reading order and follow as normal or do I pick just one?
You can read both. If you want to stick to Ultimate and not worry about 616 continuity (and those X-Men crossovers can be a doozy), skip All-New X-Men. I don’t recommend skipping Spider-Verse, though.
