The Spider of Blood and Bound.

Matteo McKenzie never asked to be a hero-he was just the black kid with bleached hair, piercings, and too much attitude to stay out of trouble. Born in Gotham City (yes, that Gotham), Matteo's life was rewritten the day he was mysteriously pulled from the DC Universe and dropped into Earth-1410 as a baby. Raised in chaos, shaped by the streets, and bonded to a spider's curse, he forged his own legend as the punk-edged protector of his world.

But when Miguel O'Hara's Spider-Society wages war against Miles Morales for refusing to abandon his father's life to "canon fate," Matteo refuses to stand aside. To Miguel, Miles' defiance is betrayal-especially coming from the boy he raised like a son. To Matteo, it's injustice.

Clashing with the Spider-Society's enforcer and standing between Miguel's fury and Miles' hope, Matteo becomes a wildcard in the multiverse web. He's a Spider torn between two worlds-born in Gotham's shadows, surviving as Earth-1410's rebel hero. And now, the truth about his origins threatens to unravel more than just his place in the Spider-Verse.

Because if fate has rules, Matteo McKenzie exists to break them.
