Miles Morales archenemy, Rabble, is coming for Miles, and everything he cares about. As Spider-Man and his friends attempt to quell the Gang War raging in New York City’s streets, Rabble is back, and willing to sacrifice everything to get her revenge. This time, Miles may not be able to stop her.
Miles Morales: Spider-Man #18 – written by Cody Ziglar and with art from Sara Pichelli, David Marquez, Juann Cabal, and Federico Vicentini – marks the 300th issue for Morales. It’s a major milestone, but that doesn’t mean the Webslinger will be taking it easy. Instead, he’ll face down one of his greatest enemies.
Rabble is no ordinary villain, and she won’t be placated until Miles loses everything he holds dear. David Marquez’ variant cover for the landmark issue shows Rabble and Spider-Man fighting with electricity and Miles’ Venom Saber, setting her up as his next biggest challenge.
Marvel is Laying the Seeds for Miles Morales to Get His Own Sinister Six
Miles Morales might finally get his own version of the Sinister Six as the young Spider-Man proves he’s too tough for just one villain to take down.
Rabble Is Miles Morales’ Most Personal Enemy
Rabble was introduced in Miles Morales: Spider-Man #1, as an antagonist Miles unintentionally created by himself. Raneem Rashad grew up with adoring, Jordanian immigrant parents who sacrificed everything to ensure their gifted daughter could lead a better life. After her mother’s early death, her father became a shell of himself, regaining hope only with the thought of enrolling Raneem into the Visions Academy. She lost her spot to Miles in the lottery, and believes that moment ruined what was left of her life. She became one of the “rabble,” dedicating all her energy toward taking revenge on Miles.
From childhood, Rabble was able to communicate with machines. Her father would bring his toddler daughter to commune with an uncooperative cash register; her mother told her she had more of an affinity for circuits than people. She has poured all her gifts into revenge, threatening Miles’ friends and family along the way. The two had a major showdown in Miles Morales: Spider-Man #5, which left Rabble out of commission, her powers on the fritz. This has given her even more reason to hate Miles. Raneem only has rage left, and Miles Morales: Spider-Man #18 promises it on full display.
Miles Morales Is Going To Need Every Lesson He’s Learned As A Marvel Hero
Miles Morales knows why Rabble is coming for him, and he’s already expressed his sympathy for what she’s had to endure in her life. He has attempted to break through to her, to no avail. It’s clear from their previous encounters that Rabble won’t be deterred, as she’s intent on leaving him with nothing and no one. Spidey is going to have to dig deep and fight back. Though he has Ms. Marvel, Starling, and others to help him, Miles Morales is going to need everything three hundred adventures in the Marvel Universe have taught him to overcome Rabble.
Miles Morales: Spider-Man #18 will available March 27, 2024 from Marvel Comics.
