Spider-Man India to shine in Secret Wars Spider-Verse spin-off!
By Daniel Wood
The upcoming Spider-Verse spin-off that will tie into the Secret Wars event boasts many of the more popular cast members of the Spider-Verse like Spider-UK, Spider-Ham and of course, the insanely huge Spider-Gwen! However Mike Costa, who is writing the spin-off has indicated that a surprising Spider-Man might be the stand-out!
"Well, I’ve got some ringers in my cast like Spider-Gwen and Spider-Ham, but of course I knew those characters would be fun. The guy who surprised me the most was Spider-Man India. He’s so much more than “Spider-Man, but in India,” which is what I (stupidly) assumed before I sat down and actually read his comic in preparation for this project. There’s a real richness there, and so many unique things about him that set him apart from the other cast-members. This book is the most he’s gotten to shine outside of his original mini-series, and I’m really excited about that."
Spider-Man India was one of the first new Spider-Men to enter the Spider-Verse after getting recruited by Superior Spider-Man a long, long time ago. Since then he hadn’t really done much other than have a touching moment with Spider-UK where he questions his purpose stating that Peter Parker is the Spider-Man. Spider-UK reassures him!
I’m exciting to see more interaction between Spider-UK and Spider-Man India as the pair seemed to have developed a friendship and I’m all for a character that has remained on the peripheral of a storyline to get a bit more of the spotlight!
