Kicking off in December, Miles Morales: Spider-Man will be relaunched and defined by a dangerous new foe. Writer Cody Ziglar and artist Federico Vicentini don't plan to pull any punches when it comes to putting Miles through the wringer and the hero's biggest defeat looks set to come at the hands of Rabble!
The tech-genius will use an army of drones and deadly never-before-seen gadgetry to upgrade Miles' rogues gallery like never before. Relentlessly seeking to settle a long-brewing personal agenda against Miles, the mysterious villain is set to destroy every aspect of Miles' life from his friends to his family.
And that's only step one of her plan...what’s at the root of this mysterious big bad's deep hatred of Spider-Man?
Marvel Comics says we'll get our first hints about Rabble in Miles Morales: Spider-Man #1, though we'll have to wait until January's issue #2 before witnessing her full fury.
"It's fantastic to work on this new character," Vicentini said. "I was given total freedom of creation. Based on Cody's description and on his notes, I had a clear idea of how I wanted to portray the armor; it had to be something rough, but resistant and ingenious at the same time. And thanks also to the drones, Rabble's gonna rock! Brace yourself, Miles!"
For years, she’s schemed in the shadows, but now Rabble is finally ready to unleash an assault on everything and everyone Miles Morales loves. Needless to say, it sounds like we won't want to miss the first strike in the battle that’s going to shatter Spidey's superhero career when Miles Morales: Spider-Man begins in December.
Miles has become beloved among fans, and it's great to see him back in his classic costume - after a poorly received, short-lived redesign - for this new ongoing series.
