The following contains spoilers for Miles Morales: Spider-Man #38, on sale June 1 from Marvel Comics
Marvel's new Spider-Smasher character makes their official debut in a preview for Miles Morales: Spider-Man #38.
Miles Morales: Spider-Man #38 comes from writer Saladin Ahmed, pencilers Christopher Allen and Alberto Foche, inkers Oren Junior, José Marzan Jr. and Foche, color artist Brian Reber and letterer VC's Cory Petit. In the preview proved by Marvel, Miles Morales and his clone, Shift, are traveling through the multiverse in an effort to rescue Miles' lost Uncle Aaron. The two of them have arrived in a world controlled by Selim, Miles' evil clone who was previously defeated earlier in the series.
In this new universe, "Emperor Selim" appears to have complete control of New York City and has created some sort of task force of soldiers hunting down threats who may challenge his reign. Miles and Shift quickly encounter these soldiers and take a number of them out. Once their finished, Spider-Smasher/Captān Billie and a team of her own recruitments appear, which is when Miles realizes he's staring at a variant of his infant sister.
Marvel previously announced that the mysterious Spider-Smasher character was a variant of Billie Morales. First introduced in Miles Morales: Spider-Man #13, Billie is an infant in Miles' world who was notably kidnapped by Selim in Miles Morales: Spider-Man #28. This new Billie variant sees the now-grown character donning a Spider-Smasher costume and leading a resistance against Selim's rule. "It blows my mind that, not only do I get to draw a chapter in one of the greatest sagas of all time, but I get to add something this significant to the story of one of my favorite characters!" Allen previously said.
Solicitation information for Miles Morales: Spider-Man #38 reveals Miles will soon encounter a "General Ganke" Lee variant in this new universe as well. The synopsis for Miles Morales: Spider-Man #38 reads, "NEXT STOP...THE EMPIRE OF THE SPIDER! MILES and SHIFT’s hunt through the Multiverse lands them...back in Brooklyn?! It’s NOT the home they know, but the EMPIRE OF THE SPIDER! A timeline where Miles’ clone SELIM is victorious, and the only thing standing in the evil Spider-Man’s way is a rebellion led by General GANKE and a very grown-up and extremely badass Capitán BILLIE!"
