What happens when one of Marvel’s most seasoned Spider-Men steps into a world still trying to figure out what a Spider-Man even is? In Ultimate Spider-Man: Incursion #1, Miles Morales crashes headfirst into Earth-6160, the newly rebooted Ultimate Universe—and it doesn’t take long for things to get messy.
This issue isn’t just the first major crossover of the new Ultimate line—it’s a statement. And that statement is: Miles Morales is not here to play around.
The Team Behind the Tension
First and foremost, Ultimate Spider-Man: Incursion #1 is written by Deniz Camp, one of the most exciting rising talents at Marvel. Known for his dense, high-concept sci-fi storytelling (Children of the Vault, 20th Century Men), Camp brings a sharp, character-focused edge to this multiversal story. He understands both the weight of continuity and the power of reinvention—and in a crossover like this, you need both.
The art is delivered by Juan Frigeri, whose dynamic paneling and kinetic action beats make every punch, portal, and web-sling feel like it matters. Frigeri’s clean linework—most recently seen in Invincible Iron Man—works perfectly in a universe that’s still forming its visual identity. And with David Curiel on colors, the aesthetic lands somewhere between cinematic and stylized, perfectly capturing the blend of grounded reality and interdimensional weirdness.
Together, this team brings the right mix of polish, danger, and emotional depth to make Incursion #1 feel like a true event—not just a gimmick. Now let’s get into our RECAP!
Miles Returns to the Ultimate Universe
The issue opens with Miles reflecting on his past—his legacy as a Spider-Man who once belonged to a universe that no longer exists. That weight sits heavy. But the spark that kicks off this incursion? Pure family chaos.
Miles’s baby sister, Billie Morales, grabs a card that the Maker once gave Miles (because when you're a Morales, nothing is ever just a keepsake). One wild energy surge later, Billie is gone—sucked into the world of Earth-6160.
And with that, the chase begins.
Miles Morales: The Superior Spider-Man
Over in Earth-6160, Peter Parker is still getting his feet wet as Spider-Man. He’s patrolling the city with his son, trying to teach the kid what it means to be a hero—when out of nowhere, a fight breaks out with a version of The Spot who hasn’t even gotten his name yet.
But before things can escalate too far, Miles arrives on the scene—and he absolutely schools this version of Spot in a brutal, efficient beatdown.
Peter and his son are floored. His kid especially can’t stop gushing over how cool, fast, and skilled this Spider-Man is. And that’s the twist: In this world, Miles is the experienced one. He’s been doing this a decade longer. Peter’s the rookie. And that dynamic flips everything we usually expect from a Spider-team-up.
Miles Morales Gives The Spot His Name
In a cool bit of meta-continuity, this version of Spot isn’t called that yet—until Miles, mid-battle, offhandedly refers to him as such. It’s a small, clever moment, but one that hints at a bigger theme: Miles is already influencing this universe just by being in it.
The butterfly effect is in full swing. And we’re watching the Ultimate Universe mutate in real-time.
Miles Morales Hunts for Billie Morales
After things settle, Peter decides to pause the search for Billie and try again in the morning. He’s not lazy—just inexperienced. But Miles? He’s not wired that way. He’s a big brother. He’s been through too much. Waiting is not an option.
So while Peter calls it a night, Miles hits the streets alone.
Meanwhile, Billie’s arrival hasn’t gone unnoticed. The Maker’s Council catches wind of the breach and immediately assumes it might be him—back from wherever he’s vanished to. But when they confirm it’s someone else, both they and the Ultimates decide to go hunting for whoever just dropped into their backyard.
And that brings us to the issue’s final gut-punch.
The Ultimates Confront Miles Morales
Before the Maker’s goons can find him, Miles is intercepted by two very serious-looking members of this universe’s Ultimates: Janet van Dyne and Hank Pym.
They don’t fight him. They question him. And the question is loaded:
“Are you here to save the world… or destroy it?”
That’s where the issue leaves us. No answers. Just tension. Suspicion. And the very real threat that this universe isn’t ready for what Miles might bring with him.
The Web Is Already Tearing
Ultimate Spider-Man: Incursion #1 is more than just a crossover—it’s a collision of tone, legacy, and intent. It throws Miles Morales into a world that doesn’t know him, doesn’t trust him, and might not survive what he represents.
This isn’t a cameo. This isn’t a team-up. This is a statement of purpose. Miles isn’t visiting this universe. He’s about to leave his mark on it.
The incursion has started. And if this first issue is any indication, Earth-6160 is about to find out why Miles Morales is more than just a Spider-Man—he might just be the Spider-Man.
