Miles Morales: Cruzando el mito arácnido by Nacho Teso was first released just over two years ago on October 16, 2023. This self-published essay centers on the character of Miles Morales and explores not only his history within the panels, but also his impact on the Spider-Man legend, as well as how these themes are addressed in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. In addition to the author’s analysis, the book also features an introduction by Mònica Rex, one of Spain’s leading voices in comics and manga.
December 16, 2025 is the publication date for Miles Morales: Across the Spider-Myth, the official English version of this book-length essay on comics and film. The translation was done by Olivia C. Caputo, a professional Spanish-to-English translator with experience in the audiovisual and literary fields. This version has also been corrected and revised. And it boasts an additional afterword by Malcolm Joshua Russell‑Nelson, a longtime podcaster who’s appeared on Culture Popped Podcast, On The Subject, and Geeksplained. The cover art has been lightly updated by the original designer and illustrator, Beatriz Galiano.
