The Blurb: Collects Miles Morales: Spider-Man (2022) #27-29 and material from Miles Morales: Spider-Man Annual (2024) #1 and Miles Morales: Spider-Man (2022) #25.
Miles Morales is a vampire, and the Black Panther may be his only hope! Spider-Man has a new vibranium suit, but does Miles have what it takes to pass T'Challa's gruelling tests in faraway Wakanda?! Deep in the wilds of Africa, a ritual to save Miles' life begins, and the panther god Bast can no longer help him! Two more deities invade Miles' desperate trial, hungering for Spider-Man's corrupted soul - but only one of their chosen champions will be saved. Can Spider-Man hope to defeat the Black Panther at the height of his powers in the heart of his homeland?! And who is web-slinging around New York City masquerading as Spidey in Miles' absence?! Plus: A Morales family vacation to Puerto Rico uncovers secrets that could turn Miles' life upside down!
The review: The Spider-Man aftermath of the Blood Hunt event concludes in this graphic that follows directly on from Volume 5 (obviously) with Black Panther taking Morales to Wakanda to try and plead Bast’s help to cure the hero of vampirism. Interspersed are moments from back home as Shift takes Morales form to cover for him at school and on the streets.
That there was more aftermath from the event within this story arc was welcome and the spiritual battle was interesting – with Anansi impinging on Bast’s territory to claim Spider-Man as his herald. Nevertheless, the outcome never felt in doubt and it was interesting without suspense. The end of the volume contains the Puerto Rico story mentioned in the blurb (and incorrectly mentioned in the blurb of the previous volume). It may have meant much to fans of the series, but I wasn’t overly interested in that story – to be honest. Good to have an extension to the event but ultimately the event has trailed off. 6 out of 10.
