Miles morales comics issue 8

Miles Morales: Spider-Man #28, the second part of the “Webs of Wakanda” storyline, kicks things up a notch. Or rather, several notches as the Black Panther and his sister Shuri continue their quest to cure Miles of his vampirism.

Part of that quest includes bringing Miles before Bast, the Panther Goddess who empowers the lineage of the Black Panther. But in true Spider-Man fashion, it’s easier said than done.

Something I have to give kudos to Cody Ziglar and Daniele Di Nicuolo for is tapping into the balance of mysticism and science that was brought up in J.

Michael Straczynski’s Amazing Spider-Man run. Many Spidey fans cried foul when the possibility of mysticism was brought up, but I saw it as a deepening of the Spider-Man mythos. Nothing changed – Peter Parker was still bitten by a radioactive spider – but now he was a part of something bigger, as is Miles and the other Spider-People in the Marvel Universe.
