Crime fighting is never easy, but Miles Morales has been having an especially tough time of it lately. Since his series relaunched at the end of 2022, Miles has struggled to balance school, his love life, and his duties as Spider-Man, with threats from Scorpion and Rabble. Resentful of his successful application to be part of the Brooklyn Visions Academy, the latter even went so far as to kidnap Miles' girlfriend Tiana Toomes (AKA Starling) and burn his house down. He's not having a good time!

Still, things are about to get a lot worse as he comes up against his biggest threat to date. Written by Cody Ziglar, with art by Federico Vicentini, Miles Morales: Spider-Man #8 marks the start of a brand new arc - and Hobgoblin has entered the fray.

We've got an exclusive first look at Dike Ruan's cover for #8, as well as Marvel's official solicit info for the issue below.
