Trivia[]
- As of 2021, Action Lab no longer has the licensing rights to publish any more Miraculous Ladybug comics in the USA. It was later announced on June 13, 2023, that Mad Cave Studios officially owns the licensing rights and they would publish a series of graphic novels starting in 2024.
- With Action Lab no longer having the licensing rights, all of the issues from this series have been out of print. This also affects the digital releases for the issues since, as of 2022, all of them have been removed across digital platforms.
- Although some of the chapters are partially or completely written by Thomas Astruc, he doesn't consider them canon. Instead, he considered this series to be part of the "comic book universe" for Miraculous Ladybug.[16][17]
- All of the issue covers for this comic series unofficially designated Miraculous Adventures as part of the Actionverse.
- Because Action Lab also unofficially designated the comic adaptations of the first and second seasons of the TV series as part of the Actionverse, it can be interpreted that the events of Miraculous Adventures takes place after the first and second seasons within the Action Lab comic continuity.
- All of the issue covers for this comic series unofficially designated Miraculous Adventures as part of the Actionverse.
- Miraculous Adventures was going to be part of a series of four monthly comic book series that contain original stories published by Action Lab Comics, along with Tales of Miraculous, Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug, and Miraculous: Tales of Cat Noir.
- Because of the cancellation of the three comic book series, Miraculous Adventures is currently the only known comic series to contain original stories and not adaptations of existing episodes.
- While it's unconfirmed, it's likely the three cancelled comic book series would have taken place in the same continuity as Miraculous Adventures.
- Because Miraculous Adventures isn't canon to the TV series, it's unknown if some elements from the comic continuity would be reused for the TV series, such as the origins of both the kwamis and the Miraculouses from "The Trash Krakken - Part 1".
- During Free Comic Book Day 2017, the voices of Marinette Dupain-Cheng and Tikki, Cristina Vee and Mela Lee respectively, held an official signing at a comic book store in Los Angeles.[18]
- Character designer Angie Nasca also went to the event.[19]
- While not clarified if this series is included, according to the official Miraculous Ladybug Tumblr blog, each issue of this series was going to include 18-22 pages and one story completed in 3-5 issues.[20]
- Because of the comic series' short run, Miraculous Adventures only has one story arc which focuses on Ladybug and Cat Noir traveling to New York City and fighting the Trash Krakken.
- The cancellation of the comic series caused the story to be left on a cliffhanger since it's unknown what is the black substance and why it caused Kenya's father to transform into the Trash Krakken.
- In addition, issues 6-8 being unreleased also caused the second volume to be unreleased as well. According to various sources, the second volume was originally going to be released on April 23, 2019.
- According to the product description on the Comixology website, the cancelled sixth issue was going to be released on August 15, 2018.[21]

- An official Russian edition of the first four comic issues was published by AST in Russia. It was published on September 10, 2019, as a volume that is roughly translated into English as "Adventures in New York". The cover for the Russian edition of the first volume is identical to Cover A of the second issue of the series.[24]
- Both the first and final issues of the comic series are the only ones that contain comic adaptations of the Miraculous: Tales from Paris webisodes.
- For issue 1, it has "Repetition" before the main story.
- And for issue 5, it has "Inspiration", "Busy Day", "Homework Essay" and "The Notebook".
