Warning: Contains spoilers for Miles Morales: Spider-Man #29!
The latest developments in Miles Morales‘ journey as Spider-Man present significant new dimensions that set him apart from the original Peter Parker. In his recent Marvel Comics adventure, Miles embarks on a transformative journey to Wakanda, where he encounters the ancient pantheon of the Marvel Universe, culminating in a profound revelation about his connection to a formidable deity.
During this odyssey, Miles not only reestablishes his identity as Spider-Man but also awakens latent ties to Kwaku Anansi, the Trickster God of Wakanda. This development is pivotal, as it further deepens Miles’ narrative and expands the lore surrounding his character.

Through this connection, there arises a potential ambiguity in Anansi’s view of spider-themed heroes. While he has a broader connection to all Spider-Totems and the Web of Life and Destiny, it appears that Anansi has vested a particular interest in Miles as his newly designated “champion.”
Exciting New Lore for Miles Morales: The Spider-God Connection

In the Webs of Wakanda storyline, Miles gains deeper connections to Black Panther’s realm while entangling himself with the mystique of ancient gods. This venture stretches far beyond his usual exploits in Brooklyn, bringing him face to face with T’Challa, Bast, and Anansi. In this narrative arc, Anansi fundamentally alters Miles’ role within the Spider-Man mythos.
Upon his reintroduction in Miles Morales: Spider-Man #28, Anansi outlines his expectations. As a God of storytelling, he challenges Miles to present a compelling narrative, effectively intertwining their fates. In the following issue, Miles rises to the occasion, momentarily halting his battle with Black Panther to focus on his responsibilities, a hallmark of classic Spider-Man heroism. By confronting his vampiric affliction with courage, Miles earns Anansi’s respect and undergoes a transformative exorcism of the curse. However, Anansi’s lingering interest means that Miles will have to navigate the complexities introduced by this divine oversight.

Now branded as the champion and herald of Anansi, Miles may find himself subjected to the whims of a being with cosmic-level influence akin to Galactus, enhancing the unpredictability of his future adventures in the Marvel realm.
This burgeoning connection has significant implications for Miles’ mythology. As Anansi continues to weave Miles’ story within a multitude of realities, including hints at a return to the Ultimate Universe, the possibilities for narratives are virtually limitless.
