Miranda-Rodriguez has written for Marvel Comics’ critically acclaimed anthology, “Guardians of the Galaxy: Tales of the Cosmos,” as well as the comic book series “Freak” written by Emmy award winning writer John Leguizamo.

Through his original comic book character La Boriqueña, he addresses current socio-political issues related to Puerto Rico.
