Spider-Man: Miles Morales Features Touching Tribute to Artist

Since its initial release last year, Spider-Man: Miles Morales has gone on to become one of the most successful games released on the PS5. With all of the fluid and addictive gameplay mechanics featured in the previous game, led by a new protagonist, Spider-Man: Miles Morales has managed to resonate with quite a number of players. Now, it's been discovered that the game has honored a unique individual in a very special way.

There are quite a number of Easter Eggs featured within Spider-Man: Miles Morales. All of which come in various shapes and sizes, but for how much there is to do and see in this game, it's likely that the bulk of the secret content found in this game could go unnoticed to an inexperienced player. Although, some fans have managed to discover a touching piece of graffiti art that pays loving tribute to a young artist.

Reddit user huskytzu2 has discovered a piece of street art in Spider-Man: Miles Morales that depicts Qing Han, or Qinniart, as she was known online. Han sadly passed away from cancer last year, but served as a talented and influential young artist who inspired many people that were the same age as her. This tribute is somewhat similar to the tributes to Chadwick Boseman found in Spider-Man: Miles Morales.

Some fans might question why exactly a tribute to Qinniart is being featured in Spider-Man: Miles Morales. Most of the secrets found in the game are able to tie their way back to some sort of Marvel property, such as the X-men Easter Egg in Spider-Man: Miles Morales. It's possible that the developers or art designers were fond of her work and wanted to honor her life in some capacity.

Then again, it could also play into Spider-Man: Miles Morales' core theme of defining a person's identity, as well as sharing and celebrating who they are with the rest of the world. A theme that Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse exemplifies quite a bit and carries over into Spider-Man: Miles Morales very frequently.

In any case, it's nice that Insomniac Games has used this title as a way of honoring so many people, characters, and series that relate to Marvel in general. It will be interesting to see what the future has in store for Marvel's Spider-Man as a series. Given the massive amount of success both games have achieved in such a short amount of time, it seems more than likely that future installments will be on the way soon.

Spider-Man: Miles Morales features no shortage of stellar costumes for its titular hero to wear, but one of the absolute best is the 2020 suit. As such, Hot Toys has decided to bring this specific Spider-Man: Miles Morales outfit from the game to the real world, and the result could not be any more spectacular.

This is not the first time the 2020 suit has been brought to life, as a recent series of Spider-Man: Miles Morales Funko Pops was released. Focusing on the PlayStation exclusive game’s best alternate designs for the young Spider-Man, the 2020 suit unsurprisingly made the cut, with Spidey’s special Deadmau5-inspired helmet fitting the bobblehead nature of Funko Pops perfectly. However, while the Spider-Man: Miles Morales Funkos are brilliant and well-crafted, Hot Toys’ new statue is on another level.
