Award-winning author and cultural critic Ytasha Womack joins Dave to discuss Spider-Man: Miles Morales, An Exploration, her new book from the Marvel Age of Comics series examining the character's cultural significance.
Womack shares how her work on Afrofuturism led her to Miles, why the character's vulnerability resonates far beyond superhero fandom, and the layered symbolism baked into everything from his hoodie to the number 42.
The two discuss the deep ties between Brooklyn hip-hop and comics storytelling, why cities shape kids into fluid identity-shifters, and the musical DNA that connects Miles Morales to Miles Davis.
