Continuing a plotline from the Secret Warriors animated film, the special will see Spider-Gwen Ghost-Spider tracking down the Inhuman villain named Sheath responsible for the death of her best friend Kevin. Those familiar with the comics version of Spider-Gwen will note that Kevin is an original character for the Marvel Rising continuity as opposed to the mainstream comics where an alternate universe of Peter Parker fulfills the role of Gwen’s friend who ultimately perishes. Sheath, voiced by Amanda C. Miller, is an actual Inhuman character from the comics first debuted in the most recent New Warriors book a few years ago by Christopher Yost and Marcus To as a member of Lash’s Tribe and has since made sporadic appearances.
