Marvel streets Miles Morales: Spider-Man #2 this Wednesday, September 23, 2026. Writer Bryan Hill and artist Nico Leon continue the ongoing as Grendel — a villain from Jeff Morales’ S.H.I.E.L.D. past — comes looking for revenge (Comic Watch exclusive; Fresh Comics Sep 23 list). Retail consensus lists the issue at $4.99.

Solicit — Grendel vs. the Morales family

Publisher framing: Grendel’s plan targets the former S.H.I.E.L.D. agent and threatens the Morales family — but didn’t count on Spider-Man. Miles has to fight an enemy prepared with counters for his every move and power. Comic Watch’s exclusive tease also asks what tragic events led to Grendel’s fall and how Jeff Morales fits in — without spelling out spoilers beyond that solicit hook.
